I think it is great they come out with new optional outfits to buy. It supports FFXIV.

Fixed that for you. We gave no idea if cash shop purchases go into ffxiv or into whatever they feel like.

Just food for thought if you think your purchase is going directly to ffxiv.

if it supports square enix it supports ff14, it's the same thing, no game has all the money going back to making the game/more sequels.

in any business money is always going directly to people pockets.

Why can't they give out the non dyeable item for the event and place dyable items in the Mog Station for those who really want to dye them.

You're not objectively wrong, but I doubt I'm alone in feeling like this game is not given nearly a large enough budget relative to all of the income that it generates.

Well normally when game such as this does well it will be given a bigger budget to work with but apparently does not seem to be the case, so people can pour all the money they want into the cash support it not really supporting the game unless SE decides to give the game a bigger budget for all the money it making from said cash shop sales.

For once i'm actually conflicted I do want that outfit but don't wanna pay a month sub to get it lol (or "technically" a 3 month sub for the moogle mount).. But the fact the the outfit isn't dyeable kills it for me.. I don't understand why every item in the game isn't dyeable on day 1 (if at all). It just feels like they keep doing things that frustrate the community. *sigh*

Pretty much this.. Because our 15$ a month just to be able to log into the game isn't enough anymore, that much seems to be apparent at this point. and to be honest if the money was going to the dev team, I wouldn't mind supporting it but its not or at least a small portion of it. Content would be much better if was but there forced to make due with what they got..

this is not some undeniable proof cash shop money isn't going into the game, content being good or bad solely depends on the persons view of the content.

no one here knows if the game is or isn't being given more or less money, it's just being stated like its true to be used against the cash shop.

Going a bit off topic, since SE just released Thancred and Y'shtola's latest attire in the Mogstation, it makes me wonder on what's going to happen to the characters in the story..o3o

Don't get me wrong, I'm not mad about those outfits being in the cash shop. I'm mad those outfits are available for players at all.
Although ofc, since they are in the cs, it was a decision based on "what can we make the most money with", at the price of breaking the last bit of suspension of disbelief I had left.

Tbh, I hope the characters die. At least it won't matter anymore then what players around them wear ;(
What's not there anymore can't get trivialized, you know?^^


Well, and to answer in a less salty way: I still hope they die.
For Thancred, because all of his involvement since the beginning of Minfilia's arc back in 1.0 in Ul'dah came to a close so his purpose is kind of..over.
For Y'shtola just because her always having an idea and the answer and a way out is getting kind of old and if we ever want to see the story go full despair again, she needs to go.
