You got them for free and something else for 20 dollars

Solution: SE should stop to hear to demanders and keep it promotion exclusive, and put more energy in better EU promotions. One Amazon promotion in any EU country would be a good start.

Let me preface the rest of my post with I've always hated the cash shop. I don't think it belongs in a subscription game, but hey, evidently times change and it's here to stay.

So with that said, I'm not really too bothered with how they've added this. They ran their promotion (I understand NA got the far better deal here), and those who picked it up got a rather nice deal. Promotions only go on for so long, but at least they are giving avenue to purchase the items in case you missed the original deal.

Now, with THAT said - I do think SE is insanely heavy-handed with the pricing in their cash shop. And this isn't just about this particular outfit. I understand a business is out to make money, , but there should be a balance so you don't just look like a greedy mofo. :p

It nice of them that this items are not exclusive anymore and people who missed promotion can get it but I feel little betrayed. To get this set I bought a stupid magazine from UK and it cost me more than I could've spend on Mog station. But at least it's account wide for me as a owner of promotion code.

I like both outfits, they look nice. Wish us girls could wear the butler suit and vice versa for the guys and the maid outfit. o:

I feel betrayed on the fact I never got access to a promotion.

ON THE BELIEF THE ITEMS WERE NOT DYABLE
I too, actually believed it possible the items would not be dyeable. Why? Because the Mog Station page did not offer a sample picture showing the items dyed. These are not actually the same items as came out in the promotion. These Mog Station items have stats and an EXP boost. It was possible that they were not dyeable along with this change. I went around asking my friends til I found someone that said that it was dyeable exactly like the original set til I set such fears to rest. I would have bought the items if they at least had a different dyeability (such as making the apron dyeable and leaving the dress black, or just dyeing the whole item.) But they did not. Blame SE's product page for deceiving people about the dyeability though.

ON EXCLUSIVITY AND PRICING
I have no issue that the item is available again now. I had to pay a lot on American Amazon here in Canada to get my products shipped (the promo was not available on Canadian Amazon) but i got my Niece Pokemon Moon and I got myself Kingdom Hearts on PS4 for the 2 Amazon promotions. i have account wide item sets from these promos and people that missed out can now get the items on mog station. I had the exclusivity to have it first, and the item name remains an exclusive to the promo. I don't feel slighted for this. It's like when people pay exhorbitant gil on Market Board for the new glamor items first when they aren't able to make the item themselves. And then months later the same item goes for like 10% of the initial buzz price then everyone can wear it.

There were a number of issues with the EU promotions, so when they finally release it on the mogstation so people can just purchase it, it's overpriced, piecemealed and missing items.

While these items are slightly different, giving +5 to a stat and +30% exp under level 30, my personal opinion is that it's not worth the price point.

The original item set was also for a - you said the word literally in your post - promotion, likely designed to get exposure for FFXIV and $$$ for other companies. Of course everyone is allowed to say that it's "not worth their price point" and whatnot; that's their right as a consumer. To go around using phrases like "ripoff", "greedy company" etc completely disregards the fact that these original items were made attractive specifically SO you would spend money at other establishments in order to get them. Now that those incentives are no longer needed, the pricing is normalized to that of other Mogstation costume offerings. Feel free to buy or don't buy, but it's disingenuous to pretend like people are being "ripped off" when promotions are all about offering the better deal for a limited time. (Shoddy EU handling of promotion notwithstanding ofc)

Neither do I, they stated before that it will make its way to the MogStation.

This is my issue with what they did.

We got both outfits, a mount, 2 masks and tokens for free. Fine, if you bought an item just for the promotion, then you spent $20 for the stuff, I won’t argue it.

At the very least, they needed to make it account wide. Single character and $18 is ridiculous in comparison. If they release the mount at $12 per character, at 40 characters, that will now cost $1,920 to match what we got for $20, I mean for free.

People who were excluded from the promotion by SE, don’t get in at 10% of what we paid, they get in at 10x what we paid instead.

Each piece at $18-$24 per account would have been more than enough. Just not enough for SE.

Wait wait wait wait wait...

They coded these as entirely new items that look exactly the same and have the same name? Isn't that just another item our bags have to try and track?
