Seven Eleven Japan Event - Exclusive items White Fat Chocobo and Maid/Butler Attires.

I'm HOPING it'll be anything that Squeenix has published...but it'll probably be specifically FF related...is my guess.

Yes... it's not like the 7-11 campaign was super convenient for everyone, LUCKILY my city got its first 7-11 right before the campaign started, otherwise I would have had to drive 40 minutes just to buy like 28 bottles of water, to get 28 separate codes on a receipt, which then had to be input individually, on an account made on a website specifically for that purpose!!

Getting it from amazon is W A Y more convenient. And cheaper! 2800 yen vs $20......

Well... yes. That's kind of the point of a promotion. To get consumers to purchase products that they otherwise would not purchase.

If it's enough to get you, someone who would otherwise never give 7-11 the time of day, to buy stuff from 7-11, then it's worked splendidly. And if not - well, there's plenty of other fish in the sea. No promotion expects EVERYONE to take the bait.

My understanding is that this promotion in Japan was such an overwhelming success that 7-11s were regularly selling out of the promoted products. Sounds like they were doin' it right.

Im just hoping u need to spend 19.99 and up and I hope they announce something on lodestone bc I really wanna get the maid dress lol

You say NA but will this promotion include Canada? We can't always ship stuff from Amazon.com to Canada so have to use Amazon.ca and it wouldn't surprise me if this promotion went live and Amazon.ca wasn't part of it.

Why not do a 'Mogstation promotion' for NA/EU :confused:

For the original Japanese promotion, it was soda and bottled water, so I very much doubt it would have to be SE related merchandise this time around. We don't really know yet, though. The brief mention in the article just referred to "qualifying purchase".

Ah, it seems the article has been updated again: "those who make a qualifying purchase (Update: a purchase from the Videogames Department) of $19.99 or more"

So, it looks like any videogame purchase from Amazon works.

Anyway, a promotion like this isn't actually about promoting SE's products directly. It's about using SE's products to promote 7-11 or Amazon or whoever they make a deal with in Europe. Then SE undoubtedly gets a kickback from that company for driving customers to their stores.

So the Amazon US codes will work across the 'NA' region (Canada, USA etc.) but those of us in Europe and Australia (and other territories which pay S-E Europe rather than Japan or America) will have to wait for codes compatible with our region to be released, or we'll have wasted twenty bucks.

Thanks for the info, really appreciate it man.

I have a request: SE can you update the housing maid/butler npc with the promotion clothes instead of the fake maid/butler ones ? :confused:

Please! ;)

Confirmed on Twitter that the code we receive will reward us with ALL of the items, not randomly selected items from the pool like some people have been writing.
