I can see spending $15 on it...if the boobs came with it. I'd be the most popular lalafell then :D

I'm happy with my purchase. I'm mad Minfilia has a dagger on the side and not once she ever decided to use it.

I believe it does some with the boobs but you also forced to wear the entire outfit instead of just the top piece if person wanted to.

Then they had to do the same with the hair. That alone I believe justifies the higher price than the other Scion outfits. The one part I do think they should have done when charging 15 dollars for it was to make it dye-able but its kind of a minor thing IMO considering that it was likely a fully unique model.

Nothing justifies SE putting an already in game item into the CashGrab Shop. We shouldnt even have a cash shop... but blind people will continue to blindly support it.

Lala's don't get any "enhancements" to that area while wearing the outfit. >w>

Pointing it out feels like justification, and thats off the table here.

Seriously, I feel more and more like in a F2P Mobile game...

Y'know, if it was unisex, obeyed the boob slider, divided into chest, hands, legs and feet slots and dyeable, I could sort of see why it costs a whopping $15, if only to cover development, even in a triple-dipping game such as this (or perhaps because of it). As it is? I don't really see it. As it is, it feels like a cheap t-shirt being sold at a bridal gown price.

Wow. So..... SE simply took an outfit, that was already in the game clearly, and allowed players to wear it, for $15 each? lol Who buys this stuff?

This has to be the biggest slap in the face to an MMO community I've seen yet. I'm guessing this took all of 10 minutes for some intern to "code". What a colossal joke.

If you think even slapping an existing code onto a game takes 10 minutes, you are horribly wrong.

because SE knows how much the fanboy - fangirl base would buy it regardless of price, good on them for taking advantage of it to make more money.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you are aware that I was clearly exaggerating. I will give you that.

Not even close. I take it you haven't played many MMO's if you actually believe this.

Well, overlooking the fact that they'd have to make an entirely new model for Lalafell because of the previously-mentioned lack in the chest department, they also had to rig the mesh for every other race aside from Midlander. This one and Yda's are the only ones that are full body; I sorta follow the logic with Yda (she wears the Midlander underwear as shorts) but with Minfilia not so much.
