why FF14 don't do more collabs?

[kaynide]

you clearly never looked at mods for games like skyrim or fallout. you make things look way more complex that they are.

Billy making Sora's keyblade in grandma's basement over a week for Skyrim is not even remotely on the same level as adding it to FFXIV. It has been explained several times what is involved for a collab to work. That you don't understand is either you're not listening, or you don't understand what's being said: please educate yourself on how this works.

We have very metaphorically "Lead a horse to water but can't force it to drink".

collabs
the last cry of the dying gacha

It is if they're constantly doing them.. because then it's pretty clear that it's the only thing they can think of to keep people from leaving. Typically in a 'healthy' gacha game a collab will happen maybe once a year.

More of a general FYI than as any kind of "pointed" response, but FFXIV has CONSTANT collabs here in Japan.

Like, just last month I could goto the local convenience store to get me some Warrior of Light fried chicken. I even got me some swanky fat cat AND namazu files out of it!

I mean, most Japanese don't really care about or play Final Fantasy. It's not Mickey Mouse big, but it would not be strange to find a T-shirt with Estenien on it at my local Uniqlo.\

Pretty much this. While I have played other FF games, I'm playing FFXIV to experience FFXIV. I want them to expand on the world and lore of 14, not shower me in nostalgia and fanservice, so I couldn't care less about more collabs.

On this, of course first and foremost your opinion is fine. My response isn't meant to be some kind of criticism towards you.

More, I wanted to let you know if you didn't already that a majority of FFXIV is nostalgia and fanservice to other FF games. It's certainly NOT necessary to play the old games, but you can get an appreciation for and even some additional depth of lore from the other games. So, I do encourage trying the old games out! Of course, you could just as easily read a WIKI if you were curious.

As an example, Ronka was a flying fortress. Essentially Studio Ghibli's Castle in the Sky.

Again, just soft pressure/recommends, but that’s all.
