Devs, could all of us please get these outfits that the China region is getting?

I would kill allllllllll the lalafells for it. But, I believe thats meant to be the Korean/Chinese version of the Thavnarian buster (Aren't the Countries mentioned above a bit picky about revealing clothing?) Course I could be wrong. It'd be a bit unfair if EU/NA got both of the unique costumes while Korea and China got one.

China is one patch behind EU/NA in the patch cycle. They don't even have 3.1 until the 15th of January I think.

Ugh super jealous, I so want a amazing gorg outfit that isn't stuck behind me spending 1mil plus!!!

Why do we get all the rubbish prizes from events!!

Why can't we have nice things :(:(:(

This too please!

I would love the dress and also the panda minion. It wouldn't cost SE anything to open it up to us. They should add it as another drop in some content they want us to go back to rather than cash shop.

Outfit looks great, but can we please stop asking for them to add MORE stuff to the Mogstation?? :| Maybe just have a Chinese New Year event and have it as a seasonal reward

Yes!! Please we so need more glamours, especially less armor/robes...being an adventurer is great but I don't always want to be the hero, sometimes I just want to be fancy :3

I''m just hoping for some authentic Chinese styled Monk/Pug gear.

Some more sexy/classy outfit like that would be cool. Bikinis and midriff baring dresses are fine and all but sometimes it can be sexier to show a bit less skin...

Japan uses the same 12 year animal zodiac as China, but they celebrate new year's day based on the Gregorian calendar along with the West. It's kind of a mixture of Chinese, Japanese, and Western traditions.

Chinese New Year is based on an older Chinese lunar calendar, so they celebrate New Years at different times each year, usually late January or early February.

Either SE is being generous to Chinese players by crafting an alternate New Year event for them, or they might actually be required to honor Chinese holidays by government censors. I'm not sure which.

Also interesting, "Little Ladies Day" in FFXIV is a reference to the real Japanese Girl's Day holiday on March 3rd. "The Rising", which celebrates the anniversary of the game while commemorating the "lives lost in the calamity" is also roughly around the time of Japanese Obon, a time for remembering the deceased while celebrating with family.

So the game has a common mixture of holidays that are normally observed in Japan, including western Christmas, Valentines, and Halloween.

They got an exclusive panda minion too months (a year?) ago!

I don't know how China version works, all I know is they get a cutted version with old patches :S

Guess it depends really. If China is exclusively getting something then I think it'd be only fair if other regions gets something exclusively too.

Like America can get some hoodies or something, maybe something edgy (i wouldn't want any leather jackets to be honest.

The development of Content in the Chinese version is unlikely handled by SE. Most games that go over to China are handled by developers over there, this is why they never have recent patches and get content often out of order to how it was implemented in the worldwide version.

SE hands the assets and code over to the Chinese dev team and let's them handle putting it together. SE doesn't even design the new outfits you see in this thread it's all handled by the outsourced devs in all likelyhood. They do it this way so they don't have to deal with the bureaucracy of the Chinese government.

It'd beat the ugly Thav gear, goodness.

Please no NA/EU exclusive...it will just be some stupid slut-wear like the Thav outfit....

They could give us Renaissance outfits, or maybe something from the olden times? 30s maybe :p

I like the one on the left :o

But I'm steering away from the topic a bit. I'll make another post, but to add I'd still love to have that chinese dress for my character.......as long as I can dye it >_>

I wouldn't mind getting their things, but I refuse to pay for it a second time, since I am already paying for it through my subscription fee.

Im none too interested in old timey coats, unfortunately. For all the talk against the thav gear, its quite popular. Maybe there can be more lower class, basic items though to mix and match? Ishgard's got to have their own version of the everyday wear.

*liked first post* and yes, I would like this dress too. And the Korean one too!!!

If they did NA/EU gear it should be maybe Colonial era or Regency fashion. It would fit in with some of the period inspired clothes already in-game. And as much as I would like to have the Korean and Chinese clothes I understand why we most likely will never get them. My hope is maybe for similar styled glamours. :o And I regret in my previous post as an act of desperation asking for items to be placed in the Mog-shop.

Why are they getting different stuff anyways?

Please explain that to me I can understand different monsters because of maybe rules but clothing and other stuff that might not wouldn't be fair to everyone else because everyone pays a sub fee.

Would not be right to leave everyone out like that.

That's like saying oh you all get this BMW but they get a Lamborghini Huracan
And you both paid same price.

From what I hear, the Chinese version of the game is vastly different with them paying for playtime versus a monthly-subscription, normal areas are instanced and they have to choose an instance whenever they change areas, and there being delays with their patches. Plus, I hear it isn't going as good over there (with mobile games being vastly more popular over there and P2P not) and they might implement a server that boost the player to level 50. The also don't have a Cash Shop (yet).

As I stated in a earlier post the chinese version of the game is a seperated game with a seperated development team.

Well then our dev team who creates our gear best step it up.

Cause that team is putting some very creativity beat down on them.

All I'm reading here is "Waahh why don't we have it? I want it now!"
A basic Chinese dress for the Chinese version of the game is hardly a "creativity beat down".

Isn't that dress just bits and pieces of the Thavnarian and MNK's gear? :B
I want the dress too but I'm not going to go as far and say that one dress is a "creativity beat down". >w>()

While I certainly wouldn't call it a "creative beat down," it's not to have a little salt when our past two seasonal events awarded reindeer hoofs and monkey helms-- essentially joke equipment.

Exactly, they didn't get the Thavnairian Bustier due to decency laws and this is their alternative.

Whenever something new comes out elsewhere, or us hinted at somewhere the cry is GIVE ME NOW FOR MONEY! Nobody steps back and thinks "Hmm, maybe we'll get this in the future as part of the game". The result was the Cash Shop & a lack of incentive to come up with better in-game content.

The reason we get pretty crap gear for events nowadays is because SE know they can charge for "better" gear & that there's no point trying to keep people waiting, excited about the new items they've seen, because the result is endless demands that planned future content is introduced NOW! The only way to do that for something originally planned as event gear is to put it in the Cash Shop. For all we know, these items could be future event items or veteran rewards; getting them now means something will have to be rushed in to take their place. Less time means less innovation.

it's nice to make national costume, but why can't we get one too? if they want to make exclusive content at least offer the same for all...

We did get one - The Thavnarian gear is our version. They did not get that.

Despite people constantly bemoaning this evil conspiracy narrative, Square has yet to actually do it. The Cash Shop has primarily been a dumping ground for old seasonal events. The only exception is non-canon cosplay outfits and Sleipnir. Mayhaps we should wait to see if they ever actually exploit the Cash Shop before presuming they will? It's been over a year with no evil plans underway.

^ Agree with this.

It baffles me that so many people are troubled by cash shop items. How does it really affect your personal game play? Is it envy, or do people enjoy lording unattainable items over others? I'm betting its the latter.

Considering, in the past, we got the option to buy old seasonal event gear in game when the next season's event occurred it's quite clear they are exploiting it. Same with new mounts (there's at least 3 I know of), it would have been normal to get Sleipnir from the Odin Primal fight, like the other primal fights, except they made the fight easier & gave out glamour gear only, no rare drop. Specialist dyes, which were always rare drops from ventures became pay-only. Minion sets, that were being distributed via in-game events stopped half way through & transferred to cash shop.

Stop being blinkered by the game heritage, SE know fine well that they can make money from the cash shop & are doing so.

I am troubled by the way people want things to be cash shop only & not available without paying extra for something that already exists. I see no reason why all old season gear, or dyed versions of existing items, should not be available to *everyone* from a vendor. It's the exact OPPOSITE to the reasons you give, I believe everyone has the right to play with everything they've paid for.

Why should someone who spent Halloween in hospital not have the items without paying extra? Or why someone just joining now shouldn't have Christmas items? They paid for the game & the content therein. Veteran rewards were supposed to be the only "rare because you were there" rewards in ARR+.

The dress is way too similar to the Thavnarian gear, which is just meh at best, so Im not bothered we don't have it..but for those that do like it, it never hurts to ask!

Really? Then what are they calling us giving us dancer outfits? Give us actual gear that shows our nationality! X(

Actually the Metallic dyes in cash shop were originally cash shop only - THEN they made it possible to get a tradeable version in game from ventures. The non-tradeable versions are Cash shop only still.

I concur with this. I really want a chinese dress. I was actually wondering if there was one when I was new to the game, didn't see any and was disappointed. Please don't disappoint me again!
