5/7 Name: Seven - Eleven Limited FFXIV Campaign in JP

It's hard to get excited about these events when the items from the previous one (maid and butler outfits, masks) are STILL cluttering my inventory. Now they want me to add a pole to the mess? Please, SE, make these storable in the armoire!

At least the mount doesn't take up space...

Oh my god, I can't imagine how much people will sell the codes on Ebay and Redit when SE will, again, screw the campaign xD

I can't say I had any issue myself.
That being said though, don't you feel it's a bit unfair to the Japanese that would need to buy a bunch of conbini to get this stuff and we can just drop money into the mogstation?

Ooooooh. I really hope they do go with Amazon for NA again, and do it before June, because I haven't gotten around to preordering Stormblood yet, so this would be perfect timing for me.

I'd say it would be unfair to charge us directly for the items when the Japanese players get them for free with stuff they might have been buying anyway.

I hope for Amazon again. Persona 5 and Zodiac Age are right around the corner.

So it definitely doesn't work for everyone because I'm not going on a 16 hour overnight trip just to get FFXIV stuff from a 7/11 lol

I don't think keeping it a 7/11 promo is a good idea because Amazon reaches more people in NA I think.

I am aware that this was based on pure selfishness lol and I would agree with you, if you could chose the items you like to purchase from any category. Having it limited to their gaming section for example, is nothing I look forward too. I don't want to purchase some $20/25 game I never gonna play just because I wanted some add on items for ffxiv. And yes I am aware that you could just purchase it, cancel it, redeem the code etc. But I wasn't going or willing to go through all that hassle. I also didn't think about that some states might not have 7-11's everywhere and I would like to apologize for that, for me personally all that came to my mind was, oh yea 7-11 promo we got that all over the place, it's easy for people to get their stuff that way.

It's funny because before I was aware of the restrictions I was super excited to get the items with the ant bait I so badly needed! Upon seeing the restrictions I went with FF Explorers which turned out to be less than fun on a normal 3ds. There was much more selection to choose from after that first day when I jumped on the promo. It would be nice if you could just enter a promo code on Amazon and meet the target purchase total instead.

I thought they had to buy drinks? If Square really wanted to do a good promo they could make a toy drive for children's hospitals or something. Make $20-ish versions of the moogle/carbuncle plushes available, but you're purchasing them to get sent out to children's hospitals. In return for your donation you get a code pack. :)

OK, I saw this, looked up the link and images and all I could see in my mind's eye is this wonderfully cheesy TV show from the Seventies...Monkey (Saiyûki).

Monkey Cloud magic in action

More Monkey cloud magic

Man, I used to love watching this show, they really, really don't make them like this any more.

Like Miste, the closest 7/11 to me is in another Province entirely. I don't there are more than a handful in Canada period come to think of it. So if they insist on these silly "go buy something" promotions, then make it Amazon and please include Amazon.ca this time. And the EU equivalent. They got screwed last time.

If they go with Amazon again, they might make it a monthly game loot for having Twitch Prime. Twitch Prime is something new that they started since the last FFXIV Amazon promo and they will probably like to promote it.
