YoshiP No more Region Exclusive Items, Please.

The 12 knights of Archbishop Thordan

Big (but bad for us) news, new exclusive attire for China!
There are no images in the game at the moment, as soon as I have them, I will show them if someone else does not yet.

Hopefully this will indicate that we will soon be given the Sun Wukong outfits and also those of Angel and Demon :)

Man, we don't take them down faster then we put them up! Ho hum.

Getting it added to the list!

At this point I would get excited for china exclusive outfits rather than angry, as the devs seem to be realising that we want them too. I'm treating that outfit as a timed exclusive (which is actually the fairest compromise for the chinese and korean versions), as we do seem to being drip fed these outfits over time.

I'm leaning towards the same thing myself.

We're an afterthought. That alone should upset you. We were funding this game before China and Korea were. Is our patronage worth less?

You all do realize the Chinese and Korean servers are owned and ran by different companies and NOT SE, right? And version exclusive things were commissioned by those companies and whether they come to our servers or not is up to that company and/or whatever agreement they come up with with SE.

So SE isn't really in control of their own game in those countries. Interesting.

SE still has the ability to do things for us like this, regardless of whatever agreements they have with them. They choose not to though.

These versions are more limited by design. They have less content/modified content due to the laws of the country, and a much more expansive cash shop due to gaming culture there (I believe their sub model is different as well because of this - i.e. much more expensive). It is no different than Germany getting exclusive counterstrike weapons in Left 4 Dead because they had to remove the graphic giblet effects from zombies due to censorship law.

We seem to be getting these items, and while exclusives are something I don't agree with, it is a fair compromise for these regions to get them first (as that is their intended purpose), and we get them later.

SE are in control of their game, and they are adapting it to suit the gaming market of the region.
