I was running around the mist wanting to send a letter, when I realised....
where are the delivery moggles!
Shouldn't be too hard to add them. It would be nice to not have to port to town just to send a piece of mail. IDK if anyone else would like this too? Maybe it's just me..
Can we get Delivery Mog in our housing areas please

Considering houses can have a mailbox, I guess that's why they haven't added them.

It'd be nice to have a delivery Moogle floating around somewhere in the housing Wards.
But, as Crimen said, you can get mailboxes, which is probably the reason for the missing Moogles. -

Are you really saying that ~400 soldiery and 500-750 Allied Seals are easier to get than a mailbox, which you can buy from a crafter pretty cheaply? Also, in theory, your FC has more than just you in it. Split the cost of a mailbox (which is what, 100k?) between 10 people, and suddenly it's extremely cheap.Quote:

I concur. Having a moogle mail in lavender beds would be nice.

I would love it if they would just put more than one moogle mail box in the towns. Seeing as each town has 2 to 3 zones in it. I guess they limit the availability of these precious jewels because of RMT. Always inconvenience to players over rmt but it feels like that.

You people will complain about anything lol.

I wasn't trying to complain, My FC doesn't have a mailbox. Barely scraped together the cash for the house and other stuff (actually had to borrow money for it).
I just thought it would be a nice convenience to have a mail moogle in the housing areas.
Also you can put material sellers in your house, but they still have a material seller in the housing area.
Same with junkmonger.
Why not a lil Mog.
I know a lot of well established FC have all the bell's and whistles already, but newer FC houses do cost a bit.
I just thought it would be nice to have around. -

Stuff that relates directly to progress in the game (ie: i90 equips) should be relatively easy to obtain so your progress isn't artificially gated behind features you may not be able to partake in. That's why all of the story primal fights are so much easier than the extreme primal fights. That's why the endgame story dungeons are the easiest level 50 content by far, instead of being as hard as Coil. Stuff that affects ability to get through the game (story quests, myth gear, story primals)? Relatively easy. Stuff to look unique (mounts, vanity) or have special convenience or minor benefit features (choco stables, mailboxes, chocotreats)? Relatively hard.Quote:

But, any crafter can make Spring Dresses and swimsuits with just cotton cloth at level 1, and houses (which cost 1gil) came with all furnishings unlocked for free. Is that the kind of game you're looking for? Because that's not this game... -
09-13-2014, 05:02 AMNalienBecause that is clearly the alternative I'd rather see.Quote:

Back on topic, this;
Is exactly what they should do.Quote:

They inserted Summoning bells in there, and that too you can make your own.
So yeah, I would vouch for having a Delivery Mog in the center of each hometowns.
Thank you. -

How about a wandering Moogle like Nonoroon the Qiqirn, except that instead of randomly walking around, it floats between each house along the paths (and the letter icon on the map updates accordingly) like a real mailma-er-moogle? I think it would be cute and a nice way to live up the housing wards a little bit.

That's a cool idea too.

On a somewhat related note, it would be nice if the zones respective Grand Company had a presence in the zones; Hunt Board and Allied Seals NPC, Company Seals NPC and a NPC to turn in Supply/Provisioning Missions would be nice. People would probably complain that they're Maelstrom and their House is in Lavender Beds, though. I always see people in the Grand Company HQs, would be nice to move them to Housing Wards to make the zones feel more alive. Oh, and a Weather NPC.
