Tidal Talisman - Request

[RyujinSephy]

I've seen a few people with the Tidal Talisman, more lately with players returning with the release of SoA. I looked it up when I first saw one and I know it was a limited time sale and the note that it was the only release. But I'm throwing this request out there since people like myself would really like another chance or in some cases a first chance.

I think it would be a great idea to help celebrate the 11th Vana'versary of Final Fantasy 11, to sell this item again with the in-game code. (I know we have Voidwatch warps and various other ways to get around but still... it's a neat item.^^)

Please consider this request. Thank you.

Not going to happen, it was an exclusive reward for players who bought the actual tidal talisman jewelry from the SE store.

Games do this all the time these days, and if you miss it you miss it.

How would you like it if you bought the collectors edition of a game because it offered some exclusive item as an incentive, then later after the colelctors edition is discontinued, they offer it agian, making your exclusive reward not so exclusive anymore? Basically, it breaks a promise.

They do that now, it's called pre-ordering a game with exclusive DLC. Then a few months later they release all the exclusive DLC for download. Look at FFXIII-2, all the pre-order bonuses are now just available for downloads for a price. I pre-ordered the game, 2 copies actually, to get the pre-order bonuses I wanted than they just added them later. Actually it didn't bother me at all because it was my decision to pre-order 2 copies and I think people who:

[A] Couldn't afford it at the time.
or [B] Had some other reason not be able to play.

It shouldn't matter. These games are to be enjoyed to their fullest why punish people who play to collect because for the above reasons. They are bringing back other items that used to be only gotten one way.

Heck when I started playing I ran into a person with a Moogle Cap that helped me out, when I asked "Where did you get that?" They replied, "It doesn't matter because you'll never be able to get one." I was thrilled when they released the Key Chains that had it and I bought one.

Besides the money we spend helps the games we love. If people are worried about their Tidal Talisman not being 'exclusive' anymore. Look at the Nomad Cap vs Moogle Cap. Can also make a new Tidal Talisman call it some else, change the color a little bit or the look a little, and give it same effect. Would still be just as nice to have in my opinion.

When a company continues on to give out DLC they previously only included in a collector's edition, they usually either sell it or they revealed early on that it would be eventually given out for free.

I've never seen a single game that didn't sell DLC later or tell you up front it would be free after a few months.

I suggest a Camembert to go with that whine.

As an owner of a tidal talisman, I would not give a flying fig if they gave them out to everyone for free.

we all line in a world filled with personal opinions but where does commen sense lie? it's still a exclusive item in game and in real life. how hard is that?

Common sense is as subjective as any opinion. My common sense tells me that if there is a demand for the item then it'd be a good move to try to meet that demand.

The almighty dollar trumps all. If enough people are willing to spend (MOREMOREMORE) real money on it, and enough (say) they will, they'll probably do it again.

that doesn't mean its an okay practice. if its stated to be exclusive it should be exclusive.

I don't have a TT and i don't care who has one. the OP is the one who needs the right kind of cheese.

If you play to collect you should have been watching for stuff like this when it came out.

Heaven forbid an item promised as exclusive actually stays exclusive.
