Better integration of the Mog Station (cash shop) and the game (mainly Gold Saucer)
This is something I've been thinking for a while, and for this discussion I'm gonna focus only in the Gold Saucer, since it's 100% side vanity content with vanity rewards, just like the cash shop.
We have players who would like to obtain certain things in the gold saucer, but don't have the time to invest in it because, being honest, the GS does take away from your regular battle playtime, that with the timers for gates and queues for races/minion battles. On the other hand we have players who want the exclusives in the cash shop, but perhaps due to their current economic situation they can't obtain them, and there's no alternative for them.
So, why not integrate both systems? By that I mean, why not let people buy the gold saucer glamours, dances, minions and mounts with crysta? Or why not let people earn the cash shop rewards through in game play in the gold saucer?
I believe this would boost participation in the Gold Saucer for those people who prefer to earn items through gameplay, and those without enough time but extra money could pay with real money and support the game, which I believe would also boost sales.
This would not apply to every item in the gold saucer or every cash shop item, fantasia for example is better off staying in the cash shop, same with previous year event items, and TT cards should stay MGP only.
tl;dr obtain gold saucer rewards with crysta as an alternative method, obtain cash shop items with mgp as alternative method.
This proposal/idea is open for feedback.
