i half feel you there, i bought the newest FF14 cd because, 1 i love the music and 2 because i wanted the in game music notes.
so while i didnt throw away the cd cause i listen to it, i also would have been alittle peeved if my code didn't work.

Previously emotes were $2 (Bomb Dance) or ported over from another version of the game (Bow). These are the first Mogstation exclusive emotes and they are more expensive than housing or glamour items. Another factor is Playing Dead/Lying Down has been a frequently requested emote and was originally turned down because it could be obscene. Now it's being sold to use for a bloated price. I have generally been okay with the cash shop, but this one does feel like a blatant cash grab.
The cash grab stuff is stuff to be used outside the game, fanfests, physical merch all that stuff.
In game stuff should be obtainable in game, especially if its in the games files already.

I guess I've played too much Korean MMO in the past but I am happy with whatever that isn't pay2win tbh. FFXIV isn't as cash grab as other MMO seriously.

Step 2: Fight morbols in Dravanian Hinterlands
