I am not trying to create a “hate the cash shop” type of thread because I actually buy most things that are from the Mogstation. But something is wrong with the price of the Alisaie/Alphinaud fashion at $18.00*. It only includes the one piece fashion and is single character and is not dyeable. No hairstyle.
This is way more than any of the other NPC sets. Ones like Minfilia’s original set is also single character (I think they all are) and cannot be dyed, but it does include her hairstyle. It is only $15.00. The same is true for Ayermic’s and a couple of the ‘modish’ attires.
Other NPC sets are $12.00 and while they cannot be dyed, you can break up the pieces. These include Krile, Alma, Hien, Gosetsu and a few more. You can get from 2 - 5 separate pieces in these sets to mix & match with other items. But no hairstyles...at least not in the ones I have purchased.
The are finally $8.00 NPC fashions that are single piece, non-dyeable and no hairstyles included. JUST LIKE THE TWINS’ SET! So why is this one ten dollars more??? I think it HAS to be a pricing error. (Actually there are a couple of $8.00 sets that have separate pieces ;).)
I REEEAAAALLLYYYY wanted this outfit because I adore he twins. This fashion is the iconic first thing you see them in during the opening scene. I was hoping we would at least get the hairstyle for the price, but no. I do not understand. Yes, I get inflation and all but it is just not in line with the other outfits. I have bought some of the most expensive things from the Mogstation, so that is not the issue. It is about VALUE and there is no value in a single piece set for a single character that has no hairstyle and cannot be dyed.
PLEASE DEVS, YOSHI P. ANYONE AT S.E. - check into this price error and change it ASAP.
Thank you kindly and take care,
Hina

It's likely not, because they know there's been a good deal of demand for the item and that people will buy it at that price.

Can be used by both genders. Probably why is more expensive than similar products.

Both good points, though some of the other outfits like the Garlond Ironworks set could be used by both genders I think. It just seems too much for what it is. But I guess that it my opinion and I will vote with my pocketbook.
Now bring my Yotsuyu’s fashion AND hair and they can set their price. I do not care! Hahaha. -

I know right, it's not worth more than 5 euro.

Did anyone even buy it? I haven't seen it ingame, unlike the last outfits we got not long ago.
I guessed that this wouldn't be the most popular item, being undyeable and a single piece you can't combine with anything else. -
10-23-2020, 10:54 PMYencatI've seen exactly one person with it, looked nice enough I suppose? Not €13,50 nice though.Quote:

Sometimes the newest stuff is at a high price for awhile, and then gets reduced after a few months?
I dunno. Otherwise, I got no explanation. -

The prices of on the Mogstation have slowly been going up over the last few years with no increase in quality. SE knows whales will pay for it and the rest of us he damned.

Why is it ONE piece? That is so irritating.
-

Its probably not an error. Its just SE knowing that people will buy them anyways, so why should they lower the prices. (Not that I agree with that of course)
-

Eh even on sale I wouldn't buy it. Can't dye it (naturally) and it's a one piece glam so rip to customization.
-

I think all the ARR NPC outfits are 1 piece glams if released. Their custom HW updates will probably be multiple pieces - similar to Y'shtola and Lyse
-
10-24-2020, 02:54 AMTheodricI haven't seen anybody with it, either.Quote:

I also noticed that the price seems wrong for their usual pricing scheme. Hopefully it's just a mistake and not trying to creep the prices up.
It's from an older era of the game and it seems like they didn't consider the need for it to be broken up into equippable pieces when it was a unique NPC costume. There isn't a clear divide between pants and boots, and the gloves might not be a standard length for interacting with sleeves.Quote:

Two outfits posted to Eorzea Collection currently, both coordinating with hats.Quote:

10-24-2020, 03:18 AMUltimatecaliburIt was a custom NPC outfit created for 2.0. Both Antecedent's Attire (Minfilla's 2.0 outfit) and Head Engineer's Attire (Cid's outfit) were similar one piece custom outfits. So it is a result of time of creation.Quote:

I stupidly bought it thinking that the pieces would be able to be seperated. I wanted to create a nice glam with only the top. When it came in the mail and I realized it was a one piece I was livid. I will never wear it. A complete waste of money.

There's a few functional differences I can see compared to other comparable sets:
- it can have the FC seal applied.
- it has higher stats than glamour sets usually have. It's roughly equivalent to the standard racial starting gear that would be equipped in the spots it covers.
- can be worn by both genders so no worries that you'll lose access to it when using fantasia -
10-25-2020, 01:17 AMAbsurdityYou should ALWAYS check what items are included in the purchase, each mogstation page shows the separate pieces if there are any.Quote:
