We don't need them anymore.

Part of the reason I grinded S20 is so I can brag about the Dreadnaught. I enjoyed people asking me where it's from. Actually happened quite a few times. Two even said I was a beast for getting it. Was a good ego boost.

Then all things come to an end, and this is no different. Was good while it lasted and honestly - treasure that instead.

I'm the exact opposite. I liked that feeling. I liked people feeling jealous over what I had. Ha!

It's a deep, primal, human desire. I don't think there's a problem with that. When I'm on the other end it motivates me. Sure I couldn't obtain rewards that were already gone, but I could start getting my own bragging rights.

I feel like the game has none of that these days. Limsa is filled with paypal ultimates since like 5.x. Lone Hero used to be a badass title; now it's everywhere.

I moved onto other ventures long ago to chase that high, so I don't really care that it's gone from FF14. But it was good while it lasted.

I really don't get why people get this attached to pixels. The game has barely half a decade left before it burns out, does it really matter?

Honestly this.

I used to care about Feast exclusivity. Now I'm like - I didn't even log on my main for DT. So why do I care anymore. My first reaction to this thread wasn't even about the exclusivity, but just how bored I am seeing the same debates again and again on these forums. I barely even check here anymore. Oh well.

We don't need FOMO anymore
FFXIV has been pretty good about most things being achievable at any point, and I'm glad that there will be less limited items in the game

Just accept that there are things you can't get anymore.

I see you are still going on about this, but my friend, everything in this game is a mode of something. EX, savage, dungeons, maps. As long as you have to interact with the piece of content, this qualifies. PvP in this game is laughable at best, and it's just for fun.

Forced scarcity is just a dumb concept. Look at how the housing system works, and you know what I mean.

on the other hand people's time and investment should be respected.

Sure, then why exactly should you own a mount, because I invested time and energy to learn and clear the EX fight when it was current? Why should you be afforded now to skip mechanics and farm mounts?

Because there was never a point in time where those rewards were regarded as "limited-time only." The PvP rewards were. Simple concept.

I missed the cut-off to get into 1.x by three days because my PC upgrade was delayed in the mail after months of saving for it. Three days! I never got a character with the Legacy tattoo or the chocobo as a result, despite being extremely hooked into FFXIV's status when the production change up occurred. I was very not happy about this.

I actually forgot it was even a thing until a few months ago when I saw a character in a swimsuit that actually still had it. It had been so many years since I had seen one in the wild and he was still trying to get through that Sylph leap of faith nightmare just the same.

It's so silly in hindsight that I was so salty.

Now, if you're instead trying to ask how I'd feel if they took the legacy discount away as a sort of "gotcha", I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you, that doesn't work as a comparison to the topic being discussed. People with these rewards aren't having the items taken from them, the items are being offered to everyone else (with a little asterisk, cause you know, "replica"), so my answer to your hypothetical is irrelevant because it's not a valid comparison. That comparison would only work if SE was like "nobody can have these items anymore," and then deleted the items from the game and out of people's inventories completely, but that's very clearly not what's happening here.

Your answer wasn't clear and extremely defensive. Thanks for clarifying. The question wasn't a gotcha but genuine curiosity. You announced you were ready to share on some of the legacy advantages like the tattoo, I just asked if you'd also be ready to see the subscription benefit extended to more players.

If this can assuage the hostile tone, I have stated myself multiple times that I wouldn't care at all if my exclusive feast rewards were accessible for more people to enjoy them. I'd rather have the devs spend resources on things that can be obtained in the game.

They'll learn, you'll get over it.

And if they don't, they won't get the rewards easily anyway.

I've said it once and I'll say it again.

It’s giving:

You cannot earn something if you weren't playing back then. That's why the current system that works for everything else in the game is vastly superior.
I don't think they should give it out for free, but let people earn them if they put in the time and energy. Nobody cares that you got it 14 years ago.
