Regarding the new merch

Still genuinely cant believe after all this time we've yet to get any merch for Elidibus,Zodiark, or even Lahabrea. Bit ironic to me Venat gets it which, sure makes sense considering this 10 year arc involves her, But Zodiark/Elidibus are just as integral to the plot yet get nothing? Still no minion, no statue, nothing. The bias is insane at this point.

LOL who cares about with which method SE is going to exploit and milk its customers? How about they don't make merch at all and focus on making a video game

Zodiark is on some of the items that utilize the Amano Endwalker art. Emet-Selch gets his own statue alongside Hythlodeus and Venat. All 3 together are the 3 most popular FFXIV characters.

Didn’t we get almost this exact thread last week? I guess the next one’s going to be about how there’s no cackling laugh emote or Lahabrella in the game or that they need to make an alternate version of the Endwalker jigsaw puzzle where Zodiark is right side up and Hydaelyn is upside down.

Because the people making the merch are of course the same people who work on games.

By some of the items do you mean the shirt where he’s getting sundered? Also no, i made one specifically about the minions. This is regarding merch. Please learn to read before entering a thread to be snarky thanks.

I am talking about the merch…

The page is right on the lodestone with a link to the new fan fest merch. There’s an Endwalker Amano art jigsaw puzzle and acrilic thing that both have Zodiark on it. Is this not the thing that you’re talking about? Did you open a thread about Zodiark missing on merch without looking at the merch?

I did look at the merch. My point is compare it to the amount of Venat or Hydaelyn or scion themed stuff. And then compare that to the amount of things Elidibus or Lahabrea have. Elidibus who has been a character since 2.0 lol has less merch than Emet and Venat. Make that make sense.

Light good, dark bad. They probably only made the Zodiark puzzle with the same intention of making the Variant/Criterion dungeons: to shut people up. And like the latter, it didn't work, we still demand and deserve but never expect to actually get better.

Essentially yeah. It’s pretty sad to see though how they try and claim neutrality but…it’s pretty clear where the bias lies lol. Just annoyed at seeing people pretend it doesn’t exist.

Absolutely. It couldn't be that the design is emblematic of the entire Endwalker Series, appearing as the collector's edition box art nearly two years ago or anything. It couldn't be that the official Elder Primals T-shirt for the Shadowbringers Series came out nearly four years ago or anything.

It couldn't be that the messaging themes of the game are "light good, dark ... meh" or anything.

Well they tried to say that both light and dark can be good or bad, but with their inability of proper writing it ends up just being light good 90% of the time and dark bad 90% of the time lol.

Love how that whole conversation about the quality of these figurines was just wiped out of the thread. Bravo modteam, really killing it where it counts!
