Request: Polls To Add Certain Limited Items To The Mog Station

I’d like to see a system that polls players who have certain limited items, like Pre-Order Bonuses and the statue emotes on whether or not they/we want them added to the Mog Station as optional items. I personally have the Zantetsuken emote along with a bunch of other in game bonuses from merchandise but I would love for them to be available in the Optional Item Store. However, after the White Raven earrings issue, I’m not sure how other people who have said in game bonuses feel about the issue. If a majority of the players with the particular items (whether it be statue emotes, pre-order bonuses, soundtrack minions, or other items of the sort) are ok with the items going on the Mog Station after being exclusive for however long deemed appropriate, I would love to see them added.

im not ok with statue emotes being added to the mogstation.

If there was ever any premise of an item being exclusive it should remain exclusive. If it is tied to content it should remain tied to that content.

I agree dosent make any sense, Tbh i would prefer if SE stop producing those limited item after a while otherwise it loses all the meaning.

I think they should sell the Dated 1.0 Armor on the mog station. Think they would sell well if players were able to buy tank glamour armor for all classes.

I think dyes should be removed from the mogstation.

Redesign all the seasonal housing food as "Fake food". Which can't be deleted or eaten for stats.
Price reduction for everything that isn't already 5 years old and isn't a mount.

Think their purchases would be better. Most people aren't going to buy a minion $5 dollars. If they dropped it to a $1 they would. Better to get some money then no money square.

Look into putting some of the free minions and limited time code items tied to Art Books & CDs. Mostly all the stuff that can't be earned anymore even if you could buy the merchandise right now. Like the Dalamud Minion, Caitsith doll minion and free preorder stuff. Take some of that cash and invest it into rewards in game.

Edit:

Also tie in Square Enix Store point rewards for game codes. Should't matter what Square Enix merchandise or games we buy from the store. Should be able to use those Store points to buy stuff in any Square Enix game. Like buy glamour in Dragon Quest XI or XIV or XV or Nier.

I can't help but feel that the reason people don't want the emote(s) sold is because people actually bought those statues for the emote and not the statue with the emote being a bonus. Otherwise, they wouldn't care about the emote being sold separately at a probably cheaper price. However, I do agree it should not be sold separately.

I would agree with this but ONLY if they can keep a supply of said item on the store. The Shiva statue has has a waiting list forever now. I want the statue and the emote is a bonus however if SE can't get more of the status in a timely manor then put the emote on the cash shop.

Most of us know, Square Enix knows, too many people buy the statues for the emote and don't see it as a bonus, I jokingly call it the $140 (now $230) emote that comes with a free statue. The flashy emote is a big drive for them, and judging by marketplaces like Ebay a lot of people also resell their statue once they get the emote.

They will never add them to the Mog Station because these statues are not permanently out of stock, just yesterday the Odin statue went back in stock for like an hour.

emotions/dyes both need to be removed from mog station unless it was from past holiday events .. I'm cool with everything else

A problem with this idea is that in regards to limited items, the people who don’t own them outnumber the people that do. This is the intended outcome.
But as people go “me too” we end up with heavily skewed results.

Limited or exclusive items should remain as such. For many, that was their selling point. ‘Gotta buy now before it’s too late!’

I dont mind them putting that stuff on there.

My Namingway from EE1 was unable to be redeemed, squenix cant seem to figure out what promo items should be permanently valid and which just expire.

If people want to spend nonsense amounts of $ on emotes, they might as well let them.

I would love to see the old pre-order items made available. Make the earrings "replicas" that don't give EXP if they don't want to make that bonus purchaseable.

Obviously there needs to be a long exclusive period - whether that should be one expansion or two - but it's a shame for things to be lost forever.

Physical pre-order bonuses would continue to exist, and be available second-hand for new people discovering the series if the original owners no longer want them, but the digital items are lost forever.

The Baron earrings are beautiful and I've only ever seen one person wearing them.


(Also there is a very limited choice of nice level 1 earrings - as I discovered when that fancy new aetheryte earring wouldn't take any of the ones I'd placed on my glamour plates. Thee are the plain gold weathered earrings (not even a choice of silver) and all those novelty mascot ones, but nothing nice unless I want to pay for the old seasonal items.)

Don't think it matters really. Think if you bought the merchandise you should get it free & have it for long period of time before any option be sold on the mog station. Since most of the early codes have limited time run there is a huge less incentive to buy any old merchandise now from them. As for those statues and anything $100+ really should have no limit on the code for the emote.

Also consider adding some kind Square Enix point rewards for XIV. When you buy merchandise from Square Enix you're given tons of Sqaure Enix points. They would tie in some kinda XIV reward with that. This also includes buy games from Square Enixs store.

I’m pretty sure Square Enix can check who has the code registered on their account or who bought the merchandise through their store. I’m suggesting only people who have the stuff already on their account vote.

I don't mind exclusives remaining exclusives as long as there is a reasonable alternative that is available to everyone (either through in-game activities or the cash shop). However some items are just too unique to stay exclusive forever. The one I personally have pined for is the flying cumulus mount. For a long time it was the only mount which is unobtrusive, works well with long skirts (i.e. doesn't have anything between the rider's legs) and displays the character in a natural pose. However it was only available on Amazon for a two-week period which occurred before I even started playing, and it was only available in the US, so I never even had the chance to get it. The recently added Ozma mount available in the Baldesion Arsenal shares these qualities, so now I can try to get that instead.

What is it that such exclusives are supposed to accomplish anyway? If I see a cool mount or piece of armor on someone, I might be excited at the prospect of getting one for myself. It can act as motivation to do the content where that item drops, or drive sales in the cash shop. This is good. But if I discover that the item was an exclusive and is forever unavailable to me, the excitement turns into jealousy, resentment and frustration. I do not think those are emotions a video game publisher should seek to enkindle in their audience.

I am because I don't want to have to pay $200 for a access to an emote.

While I don't care for pricing of most items on there, I don't care if the 'limited' items show up on there either. I have a negative disposition towards limited availability items because they eat up space on everyone's devices, even if the person storing the info for those items does not have access to use them on their own characters. It's just a game and if people are storing it, let their characters have access to it via one method or another. Instead of permanent merchandise tie-in s, just give the first couple runs of merchandise have a 3-ish month buffer before releasing the digital only direct purchase code. Less waste if someone doesn't have a desire for the physical item that way.

I've said it before, I'll say it again:

I don't mind things like the emotes tied to the statues, items tied to CDs or plushies, etc., being separated and sold as a separate item in the MogStation. I've bought the statues, CDs, books and plushies. The emotes, furniture, scrolls and minions are a BONUS - you got them for free with another item you bought.

Why not? A quick currency conversion places $200 at £151. Given that you're primarily paying for the statue, it isn't a bad deal at all.

I think he re-sells items if you got them during the original event - it probably checks against achievements to see what items are made available to you.

I've gone to that npc multiple times and I never see anything being sold, even for events I've done and items I've received in the past. Maybe there is some specific conditions that have to be met. Anyways, this is a new character, so none of that applies to me any more as I've deleted my previous character.

As an owner of several "exclusive" DLCs (all DLC minions save the Wind-up Cait Sith, Bahamut, and Dalamud, and owner of the Diamond Dust emote), I don't care if they were offered on the Mogstation at a later date - probably a year or two after their release with physical merchandise to grant that period of "exclusivity" (but it could be shorter and I wouldn't really care). They're digital goods for a video game; I don't tie any sort of prestige or exclusivity to them.

As a fellow owner of the same “exclusive” items, I would like to cancel out your vote to make them available with my own vote to keep them exclusive. I know multiple people who run in my social circles who play this game, and have personally witnessed the envy and astonishment in their voices when they comment on my legacy chocobo, or Wind-up Dalamud, or my complete Onion doublet set from 1.0. If these items were as easily available as talking to an NPC or buying it off the mog station, nobody would care about these things at all beyond the minimal effort to acquire them. Scarcity DOES make some things more special.

(That last post was tongue-in-cheek, btw. It’d actually be kinda nice if they stopped releasing items with the nebulous threat of “Get these before they’re gone forever!” because then, like with this year’s Fanfest items, there’s absolutely no pressure to get them. If they want to adopt that system of timed exclusivity going forward, I have zero problem with it, but it does seem kinda deceptive to retroactively walk back that promise of exclusivity for old items.

If the Statue Emotes were promised to stay exclusive then they should stay as such. Same thing with the White Raven earrings.

The issue here is that we now have a prededent set by Yoshida and SE to not expect any of the promises to be upheld given the broken 1.0 promise with the White Ravens. Chances are further down the line they might bring them back to cash shop to correspond with their nature of being actual bought items.

I didnt even buy a statue and I dont want it in the Mog Station.

It would greatly be a slap in the face to those who bought the statues.

Don't understand why people don't want dyes in the Mog Station? They're just dyes...

As far as I'm concerned items should only be made available through in game content. However, SE should not go back their word. However, however, they should make clear their intentions.
