04-01-2017, 07:28 PMLaeruneI assume its going to be like the last event. So I think it will only work with JP accounts.Quote:

For the maid/butler/fat chocobo campaign I had all three of the magazines shipped to Japan so I could get everything (though that was a nightmare). If they did something like Amazon purchases you could just buy something to be delivered to a friend/family member (I wish I had done that for the magazines as it would have been a hell of a lot cheaper/easier).Quote:

I made a similar post here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...7-11-promotion
I, too, live in Japan, and I am stuck with using an EU account that I made over 10 years ago to play FFXI, while living in Australia at the time. I have tried (even though I knew it was futile) to have my account changed (getting paid from my job in yen, but paying for this game in euros sucks....), and to no surprise I was flat out refused.
I'm ok with having these kinds of cross-company promotions.. just STOP region locking them, and punishing people who move to another country/region for family/work/personal/etc reasons. If I live in Japan, I should be able to have the same rights as anyone with a JP account to participate in the promotion being held in my country of residence -

I have a similar problem; I could easily obtain the Japanese codes but have been unable to use Japanese codes several times now, so I know it would be a waste of my money. I wish I'd never switched from my JP FFXI account to this new EU FFXIV account. It's already forced me to use a different PSN account to my normal one (which is also JP) and now I feel like the only person on my server without a cloud :(
The mess of the previous EU campaign really punished people who travel. -

Hey Seferex, it's been a while. Moon here! I ran into the same problem the last time they collaborated with 7-11. I also live in Japan now but was stuck with an Australian account. After researching various methods of transferring into the JP region, I realized there was no way to do it. A flat out transfer refusal from the SE team solidified my decision to start a JP account afresh.
So yes, I get the joy of leveling up all my classes to 60 again. *groan*
On a positive note I got to start the game afresh with my wife. I'm sure Yoshida plans to have more campaigns and collaboration that are either exclusive to Japan or arrive earlier than the rest of the world. Looking back, I'm glad I made the switch early. -

Sadly, this is the one thing I'm worried will happen with this 7-11 thing. -
04-03-2017, 08:05 PMGlenfiddichAnd you think that's ok?Quote:

And it's not cool to see players with exclusive Items just because they are japanese, that others are getting 1 year later, or they even are getting nothing.
It's interesting to see how some of the japan players are ticking. -

They can get away with exclusive content for CN or KR (obnoxious as it is) because they're separate versions of the game.
As long as we're on the same servers - and I hope that's forever given my circumstances - the JP/EU/NA global version of the game needs to be truly global. That means no special treatment for people in another region. Imagine if the seasonal events were always staggered by time zone so they activated for people on Japanese accounts first; they already get a lot more community activity than us because the team is based there and running local events is much easier.
Having in-game items locked by region is just a bad way to run things. They can announce Japan first if they like, but forcing the rest of us to sit around watching everyone else enjoying their new rewards while we don't even know whether they're coming breeds a great deal of resentment. -
04-03-2017, 08:24 PMSakuralunaThis, because it's pretty much the way I'm beginning to feel over this campaign the longer they go without giving us any word. They haven't announced anything yet, except a lodestone page entirely in Japanese as if the rest of the world won't pick up that something is going on. I keep hoping that an English forum mod will clarify things, at least, but nothing.Quote:

Even worse for EU (some countries got it, but others didnt) players, we dont know if we are going to get it or if its going to be the like the last time. SE told us in October that our events is comming, then in December we get told that its not comming, they waited till just before codes are going to expire, to announce that the other countries would not get any. The items could have been placed in the Mog Station, tied to a purchase of an subscription etc. Still no responds and the thread about the EU Maid/Butler event has alot of pages, but no response.
I knew something was wrong when my country did not receive any events in November, so I got mine event items via Amazon.fr. This time if there is another EU event, I wont wait for the one in my country and just buy a game from one of the other countries asap, I cant realy trust SE on their word, after the event last year. -

04-04-2017, 05:58 PMCelefPlus on the last french campaign some offered to players that could no go to the Meltdown to do it for them for free (no charge for the action of going to the Meltdown so no RMT)Quote:

04-04-2017, 06:26 PMKinazuI'm on the same boat as you. I didn't buy the magazines. I didn't buy anything from Amazon FR, and I didn't participate in the German one either. As in the announcements of the whole campaign they said they were looking for something for my country. Thus I waited patiently only to get a response, almost at the end of the entire campaign, that it got canceled for the other countries that didn't get a campaign. So much for waiting patiently.Quote:

But I doubt they'd do it. I mean why putting something into the cash shop, getting all the profit yourself than going through the hassle of setting up campaigns and ignoring more than 50% of Europe?
Effort well spend /s -
04-04-2017, 08:09 PMSakuralunaPersonally would rather not see it happen like this as that only gives the JP a timed exclusive and everyone else a slap in the face. What they should have done is put the original items on the mog station once the codes expired, then put the cloud mount in the CS like every other Chinese item that's released over here, and not done another promotion at all, in japan or otherwise unless they could find a way to stage every promotion promised at the same time. I get what you're saying though. Either way at this point, one region is going to be given special treatment over another and there's really no way around that.Quote:

An example, buy something that is worth 20 euro on the Mog Station or SE Store and receive the codes for free. This way we wont get slapped in the face, since we are getting the codes for free with our purchases, its an event only within SE.Quote:

04-04-2017, 08:23 PMSakuralunaOh, I gotcha. I initially read it as just being ok with the JP region being given these things then the items themselves being slapped up on the CS once the JP players started to get tired of them. Which is something that would allow all of us to get the items, but I just can't bring myself to feel okay with the idea. XDQuote:

Square Enix should not divide the community into two different communities, Japanese players with cool things and the rest staring at them.
We are not second-class human and we shouldn't be treated as such.
