Shantotto can travel dimensions though. It's 100% cannon! Some even have theories that she is the Shantotto mentioned in FFXIV BLM's quests.
Final Fantasy itself seems to be a multiverse, so writing these off as "Not Cannon" can be inferred as incorrect. Especially when there's concrete evidence in LORE that people are able to hop dimensions. Such as Shantotto. Now before somebody goes, "But but," I will state that only POWERFUL people are able to do this. So Lightning, Shantotto, and Iroha would have no issues doing such things.
The only issue with Yo-kai watch is they can't be seen except by anybody with a watch. I'm sure people can and will come up with interesting ways to explain their minions following them, and they'll be visible due to that interesting way of explaining it.
Yo-Kai Watch cannon? I could see it. Especially since he came from a foreign land and we only have glimpses of what some of the lands of FFXIV are like. The FFXIV team does a great job making sure things fit within our world, so never be afraid to use anything they give us.
In all fairness, for a conclusion, you'll receive criticism on both sides of the field no matter which side you're on. There are even people who think that ALL EVENTS are non-cannon and don't belong in lore. So you do you.
Side Note: I'm actually using whisper to represent a ghost following one of my characters around. XD She doesn't enjoy it.
