Bonus item codes

Why do these codes for in game items have expiration dates? How can we get yoshi-p to change this stupid practice and maybe get these items to get second runs or at the very least put on the mog station.

Exclusivity drives sales.

Not everyone has 50 plus dollars to throw on a soundtrack or book and in my case when i had some extra cash the codes are dead so i just saved my money.

At least for earlier ARR era codes, my theory is that they didnt know wether or not the game would e able to hold up even after their massive overhaul and didnt at the time forsee the massive success it would become. Call it a cautionary optimism.

With that narrative; I believe that codes with merchandise at that time were primarily to provide further momentum on their hopeful success and at the time wasn't seen as an extra to the product being sold, but as a topping to better cement their foothold on the comeback of their recent failure. In that sense, to me, I don't think they had the foresight to have codes that would last year's after those products released, because even though yet had the story planned for it, they couldn't be sure the game would survive for it.

That's what I believe anyways since I think more recent released material have codes that do not expire.

Though.... they did release some codes for the wrong game I think last month. So it could be incompetence too

Keep an eye on the products you want that have a code then, they've reintroduced codes to some items after the initial codes have expired.

I really hope they do this. I'm sure it's not all that hard to make new codes.

I'd imagine its to prevent 3rd part companies selling the exclusive item codes as seperate content.A lot of sites hoard up game keys and sell them over a long period of time.

Then hopefully they get mog station releases, i mean isnt that what the store should be about? lol

I'd go with it's probably to make them less desirable for re-sellers as well
Why would you buy out a ton of the supply and just sit on it until it's rare if the reason to do that goes away.

A lot of the earlier ones were promoted as 1st print exclusives as well. So they were meant to be something of a rarity to begin with

Thankyou for reminding me that I need to redeem the code I got with my lorebook! (Volume 1 - code expires this week!)

Where do I actually redeem codes though? I got a Japanese-published book with English text, but the minion voucher is entirely in Japanese.

It has the URL "http://sqex.to/300" on it, but that just takes me to a "page not found" message.
