In game mog kiosk?

I was watching a comparative video between Gw2, WoW and FFXIV, and I do realised both Gw2 and WoW have an easy access to the shop through the game, while we FFXIV player have to open a browser and log on the mogstation. Would actually be nice to be able to access the kiosk in game to get insta ship in the mailbox and without having to identify ourselves since we're already connected.

Ah, yes. I remember the horrific outrage when WoW put that shop button on the character screen. Good times.

I'd rather they worried about in game stuff. I'd much rather have something like more inventory space than a mog station button. Or a zillion other things.

Yeah! There should be a mog kiosk! Also it should use in game currency and the cash shop should be deleted entirely!

i wish they would put all the stuff into the PSN store for us PS4 players. and making it able to purchase game time through the PSN store would be nice too.

The upside about the in-game shop in ESO is you can try on the clothes on your current character, so you actually know what they'll look like on your race.

Honestly with how greedy they've been with their glamour prices I really don't want them having an ingame variation. The last thing I want is for them to start developing /more/ stuff exclusively for that shop and charging an arm and a leg for it.

That's a good reason why I'd support it.

Even if they didn't add this, I'd be happy as long as someone made a dressing room feature like WOWHead has on their website. It might not be ingame but it's still pretty handy.

You go to sites like Eorzea Collection to look at glamour ideas and it's mostly full of people trying to make cool poses in the images so you can't even see the full costume or they are shot in horrible lighting conditions :\ it's really frustrating when trying to look for glamour ideas outside of game.

So yeah I'd really like to see an ingame glamour dressing room system or one set up externally online like WOWhead or even some type of dressing room linked up with the Eorzea database.

Great Idea and props for sharing it OP.

My thought is, we don't need instant in-game access to a cash shop when most all of the items we have available right now could be argued to not be outright pay-to-win. I would see an in-game button as a potential tool to coax players into, say, buying something rather than farming it, and I'd hate to see this game get to the point that players are able to hit a cash shop button and bypass relevant gameplay. The leveling/story-skipping potions are bad enough as it is.

This^ i think i love a lot of clothes but not sure how it'd look on my actual character :s

Honestly a little NPC that lets you see Mogstation items would be fine by me. Not just to try on gear, but seeing other account details could be rather useful.

Eh? Unless you're talking about jump potions, everything else in there is either exclusive glamour-only items or past seasonal events that will not be available in the future.

There is literally nothing remotely close to pay-to-win items in the cash shop excluding jump potions, which aren't the case because they only catch you up to the most recent expansion - they don't put you ahead.
Regarding jump potions themselves, it's a pretty huge journey from lvl 1 to 70 and the story that goes along with it. I am totally not surprised that people use jump potions to skip a bunch of that.
I wouldn't personally, but they are there for a reason and they haven't destroyed the game or anything . . .

No thanks, the lack of any actual presence in game is probably the best thing about the mogstation.

Ewww. The only thing remaining that makes this feel like a sub only game is no in game shop.

This is probably the only game I would pay a sub for when I can afford it. I turn off recomendations because it feels like an ad. Can I turn off this in game shop?

You will still have to visit mog station to buy the crystas.
And if you are on mogstation to buy crystas, you can also visit the shop on mog station at the same time.
So, no need for it to be payable ingame.
But maybe let Rowena wear the newest glamour?


Another thing, I wish we can just buy a coupon on mogstation, give the coupon to a NPC ingame to unlock the glamour in his shop and he let us buy the glamour for gil everytime we want.
So we don't have to save up the glamour gear all the time, because it would be a waste of money to throw them away.

The amount of time needed to code something like an NPC opening up a browser window to the MogStation would be less than an hour, but if it's something built into the game interface, it'd probably at most take a week.

Gotta give SE an easier way to milk our wallets even further ;)

I don't see a reason against it, as a menu point at system, nothing obnoxious. Especially if there's the fitting room optionf or those things.

(Also hey, I just saw that very same video!)

They really need to get paypal at some point. Tho personnally I use my credit card and not crysta on the kiosk.

I would love a in game mog station button or npc to buy from the mog station in game. I purchase quit a bit from the mog station and it would make it a lot easier and more convinent to get the items I need if I could do it in game.

Buying from a over priced and not needed cash shop should be annoying to access. So no not needed at all, leave out of the game!


(PS: I'm kidding, having it in game or as it is now doesn't really make a difference to me. All the more power to you guys if you can get them to add it in.)

Playguide option already does something similar. Having a link to it is not a big deal I guess. A nag screen (something that pops up in your face every time you login advertising the latest sales) would be lame.

Well, like I said, it's arguable. You've just supplied the argument. As to whether or not those potions approach pay to win, that's up to personal perspective. They do help newer players catch up to their friends and whatnot, but I feel that there are changes that could have been made to the same effect without pushing those players toward the cash shop. For instance, we didn't have to be fully leveled to 60 and finished with both ARR and HW questlines in order to access SB - that was a choice made by SE. FFXI never required that level of completion for any of its expansions. I remember reading in an interview somewhere that the devs weren't initially planning to gate SB so severely.

I'd expect an in-game cash shop button to be accompanied by ads pointing to it, but also by game content designed to make it more appealing in the same way that the jump potions were accompanied by an insane level/story grind. And if anything, I wouldn't want to be pestered by all of that each time I log in.

I just wish you didn't have to re-enter your CC info for EVERY individual purchase like it's 1998.

Meh, I usually just stack in a bunch of Crysta and burn that off.

Nah doesn't need ad. What I'm thinking about is just a kiosk mog menu in game that wouldn't be seen except if you want to open it, just like Gw2 has an icon on top of the screen between all the other menus and that's all.

Maybe wants see some NPC vendors with stuff priced with Crysta?
Having the item viewable in the npc shop makes possible things as "try it" and that will be a great addon.

I will never miss any occasion to add we need have "character only" and "account wide" pricing for everything. If stuff continue being sent with moogle mail that's fine to me.

I wouldn't mind so long as it had some kind of built-in protection to keep other people who might play on your account for whatever reason from making purchases on it. Like if you have a sibling or a kid that plays sometimes. That'd never be a issue for me personally but I have friends that will let their nephews and such toy around in the game occasionally.

You know that according to FFXIV's chart you are not supposed to share your account.

I know that and I've never done it. I am a hermit.

That rule is largely in place to remove SE's liability in case someone logs on as your personal character and does stuff like deleting your gear and account selling though. Adding password confirmation to in-game real money purchases would still be a prudent thing to do just to really confirm its you and not your kid who picked up your controller while you were cooking dinner or whatever though.

I welcome the ingame kiosk.
