Or, you know, make it available ingame...
Something seems fishy. Did you actually edit the photo? I mean I can see why you some people make 6 characters, because they'd like to look different, But each of the 3 look identical to the other. Logically who would have the time to be able to play 6 characters, Why would you play 6 characters and buy 6 outfits(assuming you are a working adult) that you cannot even maintain all 6(capping tomestone, gearing, savage, practising rotations,etc).
I can't see the logic behind this lol and no don't use the "because I can", only unintelligent people use that.
Or people who have all the time in the world. And whose gaming may not revolve around capping tomes or raiding
For someone who throws around words like "logic" and "unintelligent ", you sure jumped over quite a lot avenues to come to that conclusion.
Back on topic: Why just Yugiri? Throw all the famous npcs' costumes while you're at it.
No, lol I did not assume he/she was unintelligent, however people often use the "because I can" logic (It is like how everyone here always here just quit if you don't like something), I wanted to hear a decent reasoning because thus far what I've read sounds very contradicting and ironic.
I'm asking for a good answer not a half baked one.
Glamour & housing are the true end game in this game,
gears are useless, they become obsolete every patch

Can totally understand this, but really can't get behind the logic of enjoying that content and requesting it to be in the cash shop. As an analogy, right, it's like if players who loved the battle content in the game requested they put access to new dungeons/raids/etc in the cash shop. Surely they belong in the game, yeah? You're already paying monthly for it, as you say "glamour & housing are the true end game", so following that logic they should be obtainable in the actual game. I understand having disposable income (or just being a kid who has no concept of the value of a dollar), but surely... surely if you had the option you'd rather have it accessible in the game, right?
They spent at least $108 on the same 6 digital dresses RECENTLY and already want more clothing added to the cash shop that they can just buy, while also requesting it be made account wide so that they don't have to buy it for all their characters again. This issue is just like politics in general though. Everyone has their side and the few that cross over do so on their own accord.
What spookyghost said is the point I'm trying to bring across.
This. So? I have alts, I have 4 houses 2L,2M(I can show the ss after school) could buy more ifi wanted lol, I love glamouring(I spent 18m on the full poncho set) too but I do not come to the forum and say stuff like " I wouldn't mind paying 120$ or 50$ for it just give it to me!" I was born with a silverspoon but I was taught the value of money too. And I disagree, while gears are obsolete you lose the chance to improve, to understand not only your roles but the others as well, Yes you can pay gil to have people run you through content and get gears, but you can't buy skills.
I do not like the idea of things that could've been in-game rewards to be locked away by DLC. Yes I can afford it, but if you have read the pleas of the sincere community you would've been tactful with this thread, learn to empathize, I've seen F2P games crash and burn because of people like you. Anyways I'm done here this is getting nowhere.
When I was playing WOW few years ago, I was the best warrior tank in my server and one of the best tank in my region ,
I got some "first down" with my raid team during WOW's golden years (3.0)
the rotation, gear stats in XIV are too simple & boring,
if I want to raid, I will play WOW, not XIV
Have you considered playing a F2P game with a focus on glamour? TERA is F2P, focused on glamour, has housing, and is actually a pretty fun game (has faults, but every MMO does). That's just an example, but what I mean is instead of paying a subscription monthly to then pay extra for outfits on multiple characters you could be doing the same thing but without the monthly sub. If you're not interested in the battle content in this game, why go through these hoops to do the same thing you could do for free?
Why should the way he plays the game impact yours? if he chooses to play the way he does then leave him be. He just like everyone else that plays this game is a paying member, just like yourself, so whatever he decides to do with his sub and with the cash shop is all up to him.
truth be told im sick of these kind of threads and comments.
The way he plays doesn't impact me. In fact, I agree that glamour is a huge focus for most of the community. I'm just making a suggestion that would potentially benefit the OP, as they seem to not enjoy XIV outside of the glamour aspects, and there are other games you can get those same glamour aspects (and more!) for free. Am I wrong for making a suggestion so that the OP could potentially save money?
Wow just wow! You clearly need to get off your high horse regarding your above comment. I'm upto date with all the current content i can be bothered to be with for someone who plays casually. You seem like the type of guy who would stand /afk in Limsa with your Alex weapon out hoping for some ooohs and aaaahs. If that's the case you clearly have no right to judge others the way they play this game.
Lol I was the top in other games too, you aren't the only one. http://dn.cherrycredits.com/greendragonresult, http://dn.cherrycredits.com/exspeedition/.
That game I was from is now a so cash heavy game because people asked the developers for more. I'm fine with the cashshop in a subscription game don't get me wrong, but don't think instead of asking it to be in the mog station it can be given as a in-game reward? Why does all the request here have to always be somehow related to the mog-station, hasn't it been too rampant lately? It wasn't even this bad in FFXI. Its funny how prices of items are increasing when FFXV,KH3 & KH2.8 is around the corner.. isn't it? Lmao.
Point is.. don't dig your grave so deep that you can't even climb out.
No offence but as if the OP who is flaunting his house and characters w/ the same outfit here is any better lol. Stating that he doesn't mind yugiri's outfit for 50$ since he can pay 108$ for 6characters, Right. I'm being rational and logical in my reasoning here, OP on the other hand is using money to determine is reasoning.
Anyway, to each their own. Either way he is the kind of person who would get burned alive by the people talking about others hogging plots for the fun of it.
Anyways I got nothing against anyone, it is just that OP made something like this http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...in-mog-station. And if you read his history he made some rather contradicting statement on other threads.
To OP: Either way housing in Aegis is cheap, I got my large for 50m (pre-adjustment) back then in masamune instead of 75m. Good luck OP, doing that in tonberry,balmung or gilgamesh.
Anyways I'm out, byeeee.
If people dislike the game, why do they still play? I always get confused here on the forums.
The thing is that those items wouldn't have been in-game. Or if they had, then other things we already have wouldn't have been made. Cash shop items are an extra, apart from the main content we're getting regardless, made so that the company can get extra revenues and have more money to do more things.
Now, if we think about the main content we have, we have more outfits, hairstyles, and basically more of everything in nowadays' patches than we did back in the beginning. That's because the game was able to gain extra money, which translates in more things for all of us, and I guess that's thanks to the merchandise and the cash shop.
However, people not only want extra things (that cost extra money) to be added in-game, without sacrificing any of the other stuff we have, but they also want to make sure that SE won't get that necessary extra money in any way. I think anti cash shop people should take a moment to think about what they're truly asking for; we can't simply follow the rule of "I, I, me, me" without knowing that the less we support a company, the less things we'll get.
(Edit: NPC outfits cost 10,50€ if I remember well, not 50 *falls over*)
XIV 2.0/3.0 has a lot more outfits than XIV1.x/FFXI,
& you got beautiful CG movies, a lot more cutscenes, upgraded graphic engine, while paying same sub fees
we are just asking for few sets to be add in cash shop, you still have many choices in-game
and because we cash shop buyers, you got Europe servers & 3x budget for next expansion
Aren't you thankful?.......
No, I'm not, because its really not clear if the money from the cash shop went back into this game or into other games or paid for an all-diamond-suit for some CEO who isnt even sure what that FFXIV is and only knows it brings in money.
And I'm not thankful because pushing the cash shop means the devs wont ask "Whats something cool to put into the game? How can we make the best game possible?" but also "...and how can we make people pay extra for it?" Why should I be thankful for supporting an idea like this?
I'm not so sure about that - by that logic patches wouldnt have been possible before the cash shop. New content was always released and I remember them saying that the issue wasnt so much money but rather that they couldnt find new devs?
Yes, we got more stuff - and yeah, cash shop might have played a role in it - but I'd like to remind you that we got new hairstyles etc. etc. before that too.
Of course patches were possible, but we do get much more content now. Since you mention hairstyles, we used to get 1 new hairstyle for most races, except the patch's chosen race that would get two. Lately, we've been getting 4 hairstyles per patch, among tons of other things. We are getting more ingame stuff now per patch because the game is getting more income, and I don't know about you, but I'd rather have 4 hairstyles per patch than 1.
Also, Yoshida did state (as far as I remember) that maintaining and improving a game wasn't very possible with merely the monthly fee. Knowing this, I guess if FFXIV is getting more money it's because of the merchandise, and that includes exclusives made for the cash shop. So, whether or not you use the cs, you are STILL enjoying the benefits of the extra money SE is getting. Yet people complain about that which is giving them MORE content.
The problem is that nothing is ever good enough for people; they want much more, they want it much faster, yet they want it all without having to pay more themselves, and they'll never acknowledge all the nice things they're getting. It's quite absurd.
That is actually reasonable, as i can see that, it's the same issues with Movie theaters, they can't sustain it on move ticket sales alone so they overprice the snacks and popcorn, to keep up, however. in this games case it's starting to get to many exclusives, like i predicted would happen like a year ago...
and people like my self are questioning why they can't just add them both ingame as a reward as well, instead of cash shop only. people will buy them either way because it does not require any work. but they are slowly going down this path of only in cash shop.
Cash shop...
i prefer to pay a higher sub than using my money in cash shops.
Many things on the cash shop could be added to content in the game.
Even glamour dresses could be drop from primals or last boss of dungeons even if you get no stats.
All those mounts,clothes could be goals in game to obtain by farming content.
Oh well, I bought almost every OST and plushies/figurines from the FFXIV and most of the FF series CE since I'm a collector, shipment costs is almost the cost of the plushie, meaning the odin figurine costs 270$ after shipment, my carbuncle costs 78-85$ after shipment, and FF XV UCE which costs 500$ here(sure some of ffxiv funds went into FFXV) since the japanese currency is very strong now.
Surely I am entitled to my opinion too? Maybe I should make a thread " SE PLEASE IMPLEMENT GACHA WINGS IN CS". In-fact everyone should be extremely thankful to me and no one should have an opinion of me because I'm helping the game. Yes I am guilty of purchasing from the cash shop for both my partner and myself, but it doesn't mean I should be tactless and be like " I DON'T MIND YUGIRI OUTFIT FOR 50$ IF IT'S ACCOUNT WIDE, BECAUSE I PAID 108$ FOR 6 CHARACTERS - MORE OUTFIT IN MOG STATION". Since I'm paying 500$ for the FFXV UCE why don't I ask that the KH3 UCE should be priced higher because, why not? You see my point?
You're the kind of player who plays too much P2W games where you think because you spend you have the right of entitlement. Sorry truth is you don't, I'm currently subbing for my partner and I brought about 20 people with me to this game, You honestly think SE would give me VIP treatment?
Do you know what I used to tell my friends when I brought them here? This " I'm glad this is so much better than our P2W game, No regional locked items by shanda(if you didn't know CN FFXIV is published by shanda the same as our previous P2W game), developers who listens, better community and a fairly reasonable cashshop where items are between 5-12$, you can mostly work for the things you want in-game" Right now I'm eating my words.
Well obviously this is nothing compared to the game we came from where you'd need maybe 5000-6000 USD to gear for raids and 600-700 on gacha boxes for EQ with stats.
Earlier when I mention I was hoping to not hear a half-baked answer I meant something like this lol.
pls dont mention gachapon you will start giving them ideas ; _ ;
I am with @LiaShan even when I didn't spent $18 x 6 on same dress. I have a lot of the cash shop Items ingame (with only 1 char since it's my only one) I may not have the amount of money others have but I find that I really enjoy this game and I enjoy a lot to see my character in different outfits and even when I almost never take minions outside i have purchase some also. It's a way to support the game and I think it is not like if we spent $20 - $25 usd extra on the game it's gonna go to someone else's pocket. It is not like government. The money spent here comes back here as content and quality one. So as long as I play this game and I still enjoy it I'll be on the cash shop buyers side.
On the - we don't want to have to spent another X sum of usd on top of our sub. If the items on the cash shop are not unique or exclusive 1 of 2 things will happen.
Option 1 - No one will care about purchasing them. Why would anyone would? Convenience? Not enough reason for me.
Option 2 - Those that won't buy it anyways will start crying because they are not super easy to obtain (or what's the point on getting them as convenience?).
At the end I think it is like everything in life. You can't get it all. And if you want it all you have to be ready to pay the price. Now we need more people complaining about not having access to the collector edition items via game play.
