M'naago is also the only custom delivery NPC that can't have her appearance altered, so you might be on to something.

I doubt it's a copyright thing, the haircut is from the character Sice in Final Fantasy: Type 0 if I'm remembering right.
As for the dress up thing I think they just started implementing that after M'naago's was added, but maybe M'naago just doesn't want you deciding how she dresses especially given her role in the resistance.
Thing is intellectual property law is constantly changing and all it takes is someone to say "that's mine!" and get a lawyer to tie things up for a few years while they wait for a judge to throw it out.
What you say adds to the possibility that it might just be an artist, who works (or worked) at or with SE, who doesn't like the idea of everyone walking around with their creation and SE is respecting their wishes.
I'm just spitballing hoping somebody in authority will actually speak up.
Hi everyone,
Thank you for all your feedback!
We are currently considering the possibility of making Modern Aesthetics – Rainmaker available as an optional item.
Please keep an eye out for further updates!
cash shop lol
Well, at least it's a decision. Thanks for the update.
people said they wanted it, guess they'll get it after all
Mogstation at least puts it in line with around 95% of all other items that were in previous events. Originally, I wanted it for my alt, but I'll be damned if my character doesn't look half cute in it on my main
I get that it's not great it might be going to the Mogstation rather than added to the event vendor, but you just know there's gonna be someone who's gonna miss the event this year as well for some reason or another and we'll be having threads pop up asking about it until the end of time.
This at least makes it consistent with most other missed event rewards.
