What do we think about the new Belt-leather attire?

All that money and you couldn't include the hats and gloves? Im sorry that Square Enix doesnt feed the ffxiv devs but this is shameless daylight robbery. I would be willing to give them more money (on top of that nice sub we pay monthly) if it went to the game devs instead of SE pockets to give to other projects

The team doing this on the cusp of revealing they don't have the ability/funds to make Forked Tower (Normal) is laughable. Like "Hey if you guys buy this stuff maybe we can afford it! Teehee".

Obviously not as the cost is clearly also manpower, time and all that stupidity that they like to use. What an absolute joke. I've seen some people say that Yoshi-P has no control over what the prices are for the Cash Shop but I won't be buying that kind of PR Excuse from them after all these years. Go ahead and exploit us, team, that's cool. I'm going to assume all the funds from these are used to buy outfits for the Live Letters or another custom outfit for YoshiP.

They could have imported game devs from overseas and fund them japanese language courses at this point. It's a billion dollar company. There is absolutely no reason why Furk Tower Normal doesn't exist. Especially if cash grabs get more and more expensive.

You guys with low impulse control keep buying I wanna see the prices go up even more tbth.
SE, Yoshida and team can't fund FF16, FF tactics and FF7R without your help.

Cropped: open-back harness top, slops, loafers
Trousers: harness top, trousers, boots

Like I get that we like to rage on SE for this kind of stuff, I don't disagree with it, but providing misinformation just makes the outrage look like a bunch of misguided and uninformed customers.

---

It's not misinformation, this is disgusting and predatory when both the Street and Leisurewear come with alternate versions of their tops/bottoms and they still cost $22 total, this is SE ripping us off.

Coming here for my rare forum appearance to add my voice to this thread, as apparently sometimes the official forums are the only feedback that is ever even considered.


I rarely ever buy items off the Mogstation, the occasional outfit or emote ver the years, but most of the newer 'streetwear' designs, clunky mounts, and overblown emotes didn't appeal to me. I was actually very much looking forward to a more sleek, minimalist outfit like this ever since it was revealed on the KR stream. Imagine my utter dissapointment when I saw this chopped up piecemeal into not two but THREE separate purchases at a whopping total of $42 for the entire collection.

Someone else mentioned this somewhere, but Dawntrail, the entire EXPANSION is only $39.99. These 8 pieces with a 3 piece variation are more expensive than an entire game expansion. Let that sink in for perspective.

Not even the the more 'premium' sets have any consistency at this point either:

The streetwear set has 6 items for $22, The Azeyma set has 6 items for $18, some are even only 5 items for $22 (Leisurewear, Fat Cat).

I'm a legacy player, I supported the team by subbing during 1.0 and giving them my goodwill, and I have not let my sub lapse once in almost 15 years now in total. As excited as I was for the first mogstation set in a long while, I will not be buying any part of this until they get the message and something changes.

You can do better, Square.

As someone said it, this the perfect image of the game itself today. Bland, uninspiring, dragging itself in the mud for a couple bucks.

What a sad end for what was once (a long time ago) amazing

I don't think it's uninspiring, people already came up with a bunch of good glams. It's good stuff you can combine in different ways. If it just wasn't for the price tag.

This is what bothers me the most. It's not necessarily even the price itself but how it looks to release these new mogstation items, at these prices, right after telling us in a liveletter that they had budget issues.

Now, I don't think the actual dev team had anything to do with this, as far as I know they are not responsible for the mogstation and have little if any control over how it is run.
But what this shows is concerningly poor communication between different departments which is probably not exclusive to XIV's store.

It's honestly ridiculous. That and the fact that the cash shop changed in-game mount rewards to single character only. They're really trying to make up for all the lost subs at this point I feel since DT has been incredibly divisive. I know I won't be using the cash shop anytime soon.

But anyways, we pay for a monthly sub, cash shop shouldn't exist. Focus on listening to the community and making the game fun instead of pulling stunts like this, please and thank you.

My understanding is that the MogStation team more or less operates independently and its money stays within CS3 with Yoshida deciding how the pie is split, but I could very easily be wrong or their statements on it could be lies/outdated/mistranslated.

What do you mean? Cash shop mounts are account wide.

This is mostly made for whales and those who don't have self-control. Specially the ones that buy every single item the store has to offer so this will be like a fomo thing for them or: "I need this for my full collection". People already buy and novice chat is already full of mentors who speak about buying it and "omg it looks good!". Meanwhile those same mentors are afk-ing the whole time and never helping sprouts who beg for unsync content because they cannot find parties for hours. Then come into a conversation that will last more than the whole trial / dungeon would. Because it's easier to throw pointless arguments with sprouts and make them quit. Yep shame on you.

Regardless of that, first meaning when people buy this hot garbage is that they don't care about the quality of the game and they will take even pile of crap if it was served to them for 20 bucks. These are the main people that make this game work like this. We all want a better quality and devs to treat us better, but obviously some of them just don't care and enjoy being a fool.

Devs know this will sell for good so it's a quick buck.

I will have it as well don't worry... with glamourer which is free.

Not every mount though, some when you scroll all the way down say: ''single character only''.

That was also my last info on how it functioned. But my point still stands, if those are two separate departments they have terrible communication between departments, because this is simply not good optics.

Just a simple Question: Who asked for this Glamour? We asked for Glamour like Gaius, Zenos, Emet Selch or Venats Hair or for Nophica's Glamour + Hair.... even a Zenos Minion and Zenos Portrait .... but nay we get a Glamour that exsists already in Game in a tiny different Version. Same Trousers, same Shoes, same Shirt since a while now ( since Endwalker). Just some small changes here or there but still the same. No Dress, no Skirt. All made for Men with the lazy exuse called Unisex.

That are the ones you got from seasonal events. And no mount you get ingame is account wide.

Every purchased item should be account-wide. The only exception should be consumables such as dyes, fantasia, and jumps.

Finally looked at it. And it seems like both fits are like a mal female version. Yeah the tops are slightly different but the pants and shoes are different styles. I'm not a fan of the way the belt, around the waist, is rigged for male characters. If you look at the roe in the ad you'll see what I mean. I expect the belts to be form fitting and not floating. A flaw in design imo.

It seems like an insult to the sub money we spend, plus we have to buy every expansion.
I've seen f2p games more generous than this.
Why do we even have a cash shop to begin with?
Why not make "old event items" be available through seasonal events.
Why not implement these glams into the game as a reward for achivements.

But yet here we are still getting recolors of gear from 4 expansions ago,
it's not hard to go into the photoshop file and change the color with a multiply layer.
Takes literally seconds for a single texture.

I fully agree on this. For a game that already has a paid sub, any optional paid items like outfits, mounts, minions, etc, should at least be account wide, including outfits.

This is not at all what was meant when people talked about splitting outfit pieces. It feels like a malicious attempt to go and claim "players are never happy" later. These prices are absurd.

They are, I feel that SE are slowly creeping up outfit prices to try and see what they can squeeze out of the player base, how little content, how many bugs, how high a store price.

SE Min/Maxing their players without thought for the quality of their product.

Im honest i said it previous here but i need to say it again : if i like something i usually buy it, even if it costs a bit more but now square starts to go in a direction which literally is greed nothing more i mean lets take another look at it

The Streetwear Set had 2 Tops too and did cost 17,50€

Now the new set which has 2 different pants and the shirt looks the same (i dont take color in consideration because you can dye it) and instead to put it in a bundle for 17.50€ like the streatwear they deceided to split it up now we have :

13.50€ x 2 = 27€ + 5€ (Hat and Gloves) 32€

If you now deceided to buy only one set it still would cost 13.50€ + 5€ = 18,50€ which is MORE then the streetwear and we get LESS from it because the streetwear was 2 tops, and glams which has 2 tops or 2 pants are usually around 17,50 while glams with only 1 of each costs around 13.50€ so in other words for the price a "normal glam" usually costs we get a glam which doesnt even involve the hat and gloves anymore


are u really kidding us right now square?

The prices of these items are insane! $60 AUD!

It should have been one bundle with both shirts, pants, shoes AND the hat and gloves.

This is beyond greedy and honestly if it were one bundle I would have brought it because I like the set but this is where I draw the line. I want the open back and the boots but I don't $60 want them!

Square Enix has become so greedy and squandered any good will that was left this expansion. Even if every single player brought this set and it made bank for SE none of that money is going back into FFXIV. It will fund FF mobile flops that will shut down in a year, or AAA flops like forespoken that didnt make half its budget back.

FFXIV pays SE's rent and electricity bill and they need to wake up and start pouring love into it again before it stops printing money

Right. Now that you mention that, they've also increased the price from 8,40€ to 10,43€ in the EU shop for seasonal mounts.

I can only say l am glad modders exist... So l can have free Stuff that's miles better than this slop

I don't mind the look of the outfits per se. But, selling the sets individually for $18 each and then forcing people to spend $6 more just to buy the gloves and hat is absolutely absurd.

bruh, l just saw someone with that pants. Imagine paying the price of a full outfit for just a pants... The only conclusion l can draw is that some people like to get stepped on...

Some people have money to throw. I doubt it's the majority, but they exist.
