EU Promotional Rewards?

First Japan, now North American, us poor EU account holders are still waiting, I want my white chocobo dammat. Gimme!

I think... promotion stuff should be on hold for now..


There's kinda like, fraud going on right now in the NA

I have said this before (probably alot of times), just put those items on the Mog Station, every player can buy it and there is no option to *steal* the items like with some players will do with the Amazon promotion. The EU promotion will probably happen a month or two after the NA promotion. It took them almost two months after the JP event to hold the NA, so expect the EU to happen around August, that is if we are going to get them....

Lets hope EU and AUS gets those promotions fast, I think these region promotions where some places dont get it after weeks/months/years is very 90s and I had hoped that SE had changed its ways.

One can only hope, and here is hoping that us poor Aussies dont get shafted having to try and obtain the items through a european fast food chain or something of the like

I just hope that this is a practice run and that the next time all the promotions will happen at the same time.

The items kinda lose their value over time, not to mention it is a little bit annoying when players can play on other data centres flexing the items you can't have due to some crappy region locked offers.

Putting it on the Mogstation, even if for slightly higher price, would be much better. Promotions don't have to be exclusive items, it should be good enough that the players get them for free ftw

Indeed: I was pretty excited about it but the more time it's delayed, the more I just feel like giving up. It's just some freaking costumes and mount how hard can it be to be given to all accounts? Apparently a lot since that EU players are once again last. That won't backfire at all!

And one thing is for sure: I'm NOT gonna bother with some kind of crappy promotion like Amazon or stuff. I simply want an outfit: it shouldn't be as difficult as to buy a fantasia or anything else, especially when it's in-game. If not, then I'll simply wait or move on.

Lost a customer, and lost my dosh.

I really hope that the behavior of the NA playerbase doesn't ruin it for you guys.. I really really hope not. :c -hugs-

In the german Forum a moderator did answer, that they are currently working to bring it to the EU.

The issue with putting them on the mogstation is you're forcing one region to now pay for something that was essentially "free" elsewhere. In this instance, it wouldn't be fair EU players have to pay $12 for a mount and $15 for a maid outfit.

They were working on it 2 months ago aswell and look where we are right now? They could have waited and released both promotions at the same time, instead NA got their items and we are still waiting. Personaly, I dont mind and can understand that arranging these type of promotions can take time, but when you give one region something and the other nothing, that is when I get angry and disappointed at SE. They did this when they released the items for the JP accounts only, leaving NA/EU/AUS out of this promotion and they do this once again, only leaving EU and AUS out of it.

I fear that when they release the EU version of the promotion, they will shaft AUS players and make them wait alot longer.

Some people didn't really get it "free".

Personally I live in Canada and amazon.ca for some reason is NOT participating in the promotion so I had to order from amazon.com to get my items. I don't know why they just didn't do the promotion for both.

In the end after shipping, import fees, and the CAN to USD exchange rate I paid an extra $15 just because I couldn't buy it from my own country's online store.

So...free not really because I could have gotten that same item or any item for much cheaper on amazon.ca

I see why and understand why you are frustrated. Me on other hand isn't that fussed about it, however I'm glad they held back on EU release a bit. Look at how NA players deal with it, it's getting a bit stupid.

I might missunderstand, but you don't feel like playing because you didn't get your outfit? You sure this is the right game for you then?`If I'm wrong, I'm deeply sorry.

Welcome to the EU, the second class citizens of the video game purchasing world.
