Dont Lock Emotes To Extremely Exensive Merchandise

The cost of the statue is fine, as a collectors item. I have bought many figurines from SE in the past (albeit not directly from their store) and they were worth the money that I spent. A lot of time and effort goes into making these items and the emote is a nice bonus. And yes perhaps they could of added it with the mount etc as some people have suggested earlier on in the thread - but they can do as they wish at their discretion. Now if they made an Aymeric figurine, I would happily give them money but I'm going off topic now..

And who knows maybe in time the emote will become available to purchase on its own, we just have to wait and see. Patience is a virtue. As for the OP making a big fuss about it and making other threads about "complaining players" and yet managing to pay for the live-stream... really that in itself is shocking. >_>

EDIT: You obviously didn't read my post, since you just twisted what I said about the racism and stereotyping thing. :rolleyes: Well have fun whining about emotes bothering you in a negative way.

You are so funny :)

Like having a job suddenly makes a $100 emote a good purchase...

Seriously $100 for statue +emote is so far beyond what I think the vast majority is willing to pay. Say .1% of the players pay $100, or they could price it at $1 and 50% of players buy it. In which scenario does SE make more money? (Of course, referring to just the emote not the statue. There's way less demand for the statue than the emote, ironically)

But it's SE's product, I'll just do what I always do when I'm not happy with the price of something: not buy it.

I wonder how many would sell if it came with a stack of fantasia, like the aetheryte tickets.

On a side note there are people out there who just want the statue and there is a good chance you might have the emote listed on ebay... lol

Merchandise should be just that, merchandise.

Charge whatever you want for a statue, within the reasonable depending on the material and paint job, if the Odin statue is really made in high grade materials and has a profesional paint job work is totally worth its price, that for fans who want to get the item. But giving ingame features, even if its an emote is just a terrible way to encourage said bought.

But this company lives off whales and players have asked for this kind of things forever, so expect no diferent. Just the same way a streaming (which service was terrible btw) costed 30 USD and gave ingame content. Content that could be used as a reward for ingame feats actually. But again, people wants to spend money and get instant gratification and braging rights. I can't wait to see the emote spammers "look at me, look at me, i like this game more than you do, because i spend more than you do, am i special yet"

My only gripe is I cant use the emote on a mount. Seriously though I was getting the statue whether it came with an emote or not.

Someone at fanfest said the emote had the chocobo icon next to it so they believe it could be used on a mount. I don't know personally but thats what I was told second hand.

Tried it on my legacy chocobo and it didnt work. I didnt even know the emote was unlocked at fan fest until I sat next to a Balmung player on the plane.

I want the statue and emote so I don't have a problem with this. I keep refreshing the NA store and the Odin still says it will be available for pre-order on 10-17-2016 but there's no pre-order button. Did they forget to list it?
