More Veterans Reward

Keep in mind that this is my personal list so anything pretty much goes.

I just thought we can have some more Veteran Rewards considering we stopped at Leonheart at day 330. So here what I was thinking...

Starting from 5 to....11 I guess?
Should I give my reasons? I guess I should...

5) Sephiroth
Cause he's motherfreaking Sephiroth

6) Onion Knight
Cause we just got to have the REAL Onion knight outfit

7) Shantotto
Cause I like her outfit, in truth it won't look so well for other races, but it is ideal for Lalafell players, especially for those who like to cosplay. And this snarky, sadistic lil thing

8) Cecil Harvey
I just like his outfit and it reminds me of the "Wild Rose" Veteran Reward

9) Hope Esthiem
Because I was a huge fan of him when I saw him...he was relatable for me.

10) Yuffie Kisaragi
I really liked her design it was very unique for its time. However I would like the up to date design, not the past one. Or you know the KH version is okay too. Actually...I don't know which I like more... SE do whatever ya want with Yuffie!

11) Noctis Lucis Caelum
Because he is the most recent protagonist of the Final Fantasy series.

Now I know some of you have different opinions as to what you think should be some good Veteran Reward (Past FF Character Sets), so please feel free to leave a comment! I'd like to hear and Google about them or leave a Picture!

Weren't they phasing out veteran rewards?

Considering it took around 4 years or whatever it was to reach the final veteran reward, yes. The length of time to get all of them was a bit much, so they moved all but the character gear sets to the achievement point system and cut down the time for the gear sets tremendously. They did add the magitek death claw mount and the komainu minion to the achievement shop, but that's pretty much been in as far as new things. Can't remember if there's been anything else added.

It would be nice to have some way of rewarding players for sticking with the game long term, doesn’t have to be specific in-game items, even an accumulation of tokens that can be used to buy from a list of items would be nice.

They moved the veteran rewards to the achievement certificate system so new players will also have access to those items.

If the OP's request is to add more items to that, I'm all for it. I've got plenty of achievement certificates and nothing to buy because I've already got it all. I suspect even newer players would like more to choose from since the achievement points build up fairly quickly.

As others have already mentioned, SE cleared out most of the Veteran Rewards when Stormblood launched, reducing it from fourteen levels to just four, and moving the gear and items that the Veteran Rewards formerly granted to the Achievement Certificate system. So they're not going to add anything new to Veteran Rewards now.

As for your own ideas for gear Trixie, several of them are already in the game in certain forms, but not as Veteran Rewards:

There are several different versions of 'Onion' attire already in the game, and no less than 3 different versions of the iconic helm! The original 'Onion' set was a palette swap of the generic 'doublet' set usually found as crafter/gatherer gear that was originally gained in Version 1.0 through certain special levequests, but now in ARR has a very low chance of being brought back by Retainer Quick Ventures... except the helm, which is only attainable by registering a special code that came with the Collector's Edition of FFXIV version 1.0 (now extremely hard to find).

There were also two other versions of the Onion Helm, the Red Onion Helm and Peregrine Onion Helm also from 1.0, but as far as I'm aware only the Red Onion Helm can be gained in ARR - it too can be gained through Retainer Quick Ventures.

The second Onion set is specifically LNC/DRG's set from Labyrinth of the Ancients (although it's head wear is not a helm but headgear, the actual Onion Helm goes really good with this set). ;)

An Onion Shield is also available for GLA/PLD from a vendor in Revenant's Toll.

Technically Cecil's PLD sprite serves as the basis for the PLD AF1/AF1.5 sets (note the coronet especially).

Also the Amano design for his DRK helm and PLD headgear are (or were) available by as the 'Baron Helm' and 'Baron Circlet' respectively by registering the Collector's Edition of Heavensward and pre-ordering Heavensward for each (naturally, this is no longer available).

It would be nice to get the rest of both sets to go with them though, but I think it's unlikely by this point sadly.

That helps actually thank you

Nah, can't you see? The lack of veteran rewards has coincided with more cash shop items.

Don't exactly know what you mean, considering I never prompted a question, I just made a list

IMO with that new achievement token system they moved most of the old veteran rewards over to I feel like they should use that as a distribution system for glamour sets based on characters from not just previous FF games but just other games from franchises created or owned by SE.

Yes, please. It kind of bothers me that we're no longer getting vet rewards after 350 (or something days). Been subscribed for like... 800+ days. >> Why reward us to start with and not continue on with it? I actually used to look forward to the Veteran's day rewards. XD But then, I don't know if we continue to get those "veteran tokens," and if they even bother to add new items to that NPC dude (because I either have everything from when I had subscribed, or everything I want at this time).

Also, Trixie, I think Lambda is just giving a conspiracy theory.

I feel the need to correct this. Since the veteran rewards were restructured 240 days ago, two more rewards (the Komainu minion and Magitek Death Claw mount) have been added as achievement certificate rewards. Considering that the last reward tier was 360 days after the previous one, they don't appear to have slowed down the rate of these rewards at all. (The tiers just before that were 120 days each, and even by that standard they're keeping up.)

Criticizing the cash shop works better when you use facts.

EDIT: Actually, I totally forgot that the Falcon Mount campaign was also set up as a sort of alternate path veteran reward. So there's that too.

Also whatever outfits they add in the future as veteran rewards ideally need to be unisex, and work on all genders/races. Some of the ideas such as Shantotto and Yuffie wouldn't look exactly great on male characters, and neither would Sephiroth on female. Of course that's not to say a certain gender doesn't deserve a trademark outfit, but something a bit more neutral will be more welcome I think, so Noctis definitely would work quite well or Bartz and Vayne to name a few.

8T Sorry, but I MUST dress my female Miqo'te as Sephiroth! I'm A DRK and SAM so I MUST feel totally awesome wearing his freakin outfit! I dressed up as Cloud for so long with my Au'ri alt...I might just do it again. *Heavy Breathing*

That aside, yes please for Barret clothes and hair! It'd be super nice to have braids for once, plus I would DEFINETELY make a Roegydan just so I can look as close to him as possible. 83 Either that, or dress up my new Hyur in his outfit. She'd looks awesomesauce in it with the right hairstyle! ^^

Oh, oh! Also, I've been considering making a Lalafell for awhile and would LOVE to dress up as Shanttoto as a Black Mage! She's one of my all time favorite FF characters and if I could get a laughing emote based off her iconic one I would play my Lalafell FOREVER!!!! 8'3

Edit: Also, we need THIS type of Onion Knight outfit added next:

https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/...20101219074028

Onion Knight's outfit from Dissidia stands out enough to where it could be added as a new veteran reward~ :3

PLUS! If a Noctis outfit is being considered for a veteran reward item, may I suggest also adding Ignis, Areana, Lunafreya, Arydn, or Cindy to the list, too? I'm A big fan of all these characters and would also love to dress up as any of them, too! ^^

Some females would rock Sephiroth's outfit, just like not every dude will rock Sephiroth's outfit. Though, some FFXV outfits would be cool, too

Possibly, though I just see it as being a masculine outfit more than anything but it's purely my own opinion and I'm sure others like yourself would think differently about it. Though also I wouldn't want an outfit to only rock on a certain gender or race, because then you'd spend money on a Fantasia to make it work (i know you get one from the MSQ). I'd prefer something something more neutral that means i don't have to spend outside of my subscription, otherwise I could just go to Mogstation for something (gender) specific if you get what I mean.

Also a lack of glam rewards from side quests and other various quests like Hildebrand :(

https://rpgvaliant.com/wp-content/up...tz-Klauser.jpg

rank 5 reward should be this Bartz outfit
6 should be a ff6 related character id be up for terras outfit even for guys to wear
7 Nocits
8 both cecil sets to go with the helm they had with HW

*Smashes through a brick wall to get up in here*
I NEEEEEEED TERRA'S OUTFIT!!!! I would LOVE to have her entire outfit to wear for my caster characters, plus her gorgeous hairstyle, too! Plus her top being strapless I'd finally have a top where I can make more unique glams with! ^^

I don't think vet rewards should come back, achievement certificates already intend to award long term players, except by actually playing the game instead of just letting their sub run. I do think achievement certificate items should receive a bump in cost, atm someone could buy everything with very few certificates.

Shantotto's outfit would work just as well on male characters though as it's a unisex outfit attainable by players in FFXI called the 'Tactician's Magician' set (as long as they were Windurstian - kind of like FFXI's version of Grand Company gear). Even her staff was a FFXI staff that players could get (the level 51 Fire Staff). The only piece of the set she didn't wear was the hat.

And as we already have some armour from FFXI here in FFXIV (in the form of the 'Wootz' tank and LNC/DRG armour that has the exact same design as FFXI's Koenig and Ares armour), it's definitely possible to bring that particular armour set into the game (goddess knows mages need some love as far as glamour gear goes ;)).

I'd love more stuff to spend my achievement certificates on. it'd be nice if we could at least get ventures or something with them.

I'd LOVE to get the full onion Knight stuff. But instead of 'just' the Onion Knight version, there's also the ninja/sage versions of the outfit that you get to see in Final Fantasy Dissidia/Duodecim.

I could have SWORN up and down and all around I got my Red Onion helm from Dzmael Darkhold. It was in one of those random chests. Must have changed the drop I guess.

I can see Shantotto on males, it's pretty simplistic design...you're right about my Yuffie suggestion though.

Hope they add female characters outfits since all the rest was from guy characters. For new veteran rewards. I would love to see a Rydia outfit.

I disagree, I think we just need far more things to spend them on. Put aetheryte tokens in there and I'll be spent lol.

Yeah, it would be counter-intuitive to add more veteran rewards when they already had enough to span 4 years previously but got too many newer players complaining that they would have to wait several years to access them and so they decided to rework it to only 330 days to get all rewards.

It was kind of a nice little tip of the hat for long time subscribers who had been supporting them since the start but it was inevitable that it would need to change since the long time rewards were too great (favorite final fantasy character cosplays? Everyone is going to want those, SE....) and the lifespan of an mmo is always uncertain anyway. Sad, but true. Many people argued that the game may not even last another 4 or 5 years to get all the rewards.

I agree they should start adding more items that we can get with the achievement certificates i'd say 13-2 lightning's knight of etro armor and weapons and lighting returns her outfit and weaposn there at least the crimson blade and lotus shield for pld then other weapons for the other jobs plus stuff from ff15 as the lastest game from the final fantasy universe i'm sure there's other stuff they could add to it as well from other games that fans would love.
