Ariana Grande (hugely famous musician) joins the battle in Final Fantasy Brave Exvius

I remember hearing about her during her Disney (Or was it Nickelodeon? I never can keep the stars from these two separate these days.). Guess she's been recently sucking up to Japan then. Sadly left Japan end of Feb 2015. So probably before she hit the road. Glad I didn't have to deal with that then. (Though came back to freaking Yokai Watch.. god damn can't avoid that shit.)

lmao

How does something or someone in pop culture affect your daily life where you're "glad" you don't have to deal with that?

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Surpeised SE would pay Ariana grande to advertise their game with her character, as if they needed more advertising on the game

She's quite popular in Japan and it also gives SE a platform to advertise the game in the Western hemisphere with Ariana Grande and social media

Welp.
With this move FF XVI will not be for us anymore guys. Justin Bieber DLC incoming. Let it pass to the youngters.

I can't imagine anyone not knowing who this girl is, even if you don't pay attention to much mainstream media. She's been all over the place a number of times, usually for bad reasons.

I could say the same about the people who didn't recognize Coleman or Cup Noodle in FFXV.

I don't even understand why people bother to post stuff like that. Not only does it typically just make a person look lame and/or ignorant, but like... is it too hard to take a sec to just google the person lmao

That being said, not everyone that frequents this website is from the US or w/e, so I guess they're not all guilty of this, but y'all know who you are lol

I really tried to watch/like the Yokai Watch anime but it's just not for me. I barley pay any attention to what's popular in the mainstream anymore but I try to peek in from time to time.

Because you don't have to see it everywhere? What is wrong with not wanting to see her every where? I don't see what's wrong with saying that?

Shocked that ppl dont know who Ariana Grande is.This is cinge-worthy nonetheless though

I don't think this is cringe at all really. It's just a marketing partnership for a mobile game. It's just her sprite and it looks pretty good. She's doing the usual promotion. IMO this is very harmless and the least cringe thing I've seen when it comes to gaming and cross promotion of this sort.

Or Yokai Watch in XIV! Or Gackt in Crisis Core! lol, they have done stuff like this plenty of times. It might be annoying, but it's harmless
 
I wonder what was the thought process at Square that made this possible. At the very least, having a celebrity endorsing your game can do wonders for its downloads, as the Kim Kardashian one proved (Even if they are completely different scenarios).

I expect nothing less than an abysmally low chance at the gacha, so this may attract the same kind of whales that made the Kardashian game to thrive.

Because it feels like such a made up issue
.What do you see everywhere instead?

It's not a made up issue. I hate things being over played to death, which is what happens these days. To the point you can just become so tired of seeing whatever it is. Someone can't not want to be overdone to?

Why not a mix of stuff? I feel like the nitpicking here on a simple comment is going far overboard. If you guys like her, great. I just don't feel like she fits in. Of course, I don't really feel like any celeb colab fits in with this, but they'll find ways I'm sure.

Biggest issue I'll have in BE is the pollution of the pool with units to get even more in the way of the units I do want. Is there also something wrong in that?

I can't wrap my head around this.

Why does it matter to you if Ariana is a popular musician that has exposure? If you don't want to listen to her or buy her shit, that's easy, but it's so weird to me that you're annoyed with seeing a mainstream artist everywhere. Like, who cares? Ignore that shit.

I may not be into sports, but exposure is everywhere in the states. I'm not going to hope sports didn't exist because other people do get enjoyment out of it. I'll just choose not to watch it or buy anything related.

There's no point in continuing. If you can't see both sides I can't make you see it. It's fine if you guys like her. No one is saying OMG DON'T LIKE HER! Just over exposure is something I'm not into. We're already over advertised to enough in daily life.

Am I misunderstanding something, or did she actually refer to herself as a "pretty lil thing"?

And "holds her own?" As if every person in that room wasn't acting on their absolute best behaviour in her presence?

Social media was a mistake.

It is a made up issue. When was the last time you heard or saw something everywhere. Where something has become so popular that you can't avoid it? Who, if not her, is dominating your music listening? Chainsmokers?

It's funny how people go out of their way to make it known "I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS. WHAT'S MAINSTREAM STUFF. POP? EW."
 
Honestly wouldn't have known who coleman was if I didn't work retail. People tend to return their air beds a lot.

Pretty much much this, I've never gone camping so I didn't know what the hell Coleman was/is. Kind of pales in comparison to an Artist that's known worldwide.
