Can I still get the Dalamud minion?

[ExquisiteCorpse]

Bleh. Getting permanently locked out of stuff like that is rubbish... The inability to complete a collection winds up killing my interest in a game pretty harshly. :-/
Granted, they've already crossed that bridge by introducing out-of-game acquisition, one-off-events, and exclusive 1.Ø crap in the first place, but still...

I wanted the minion, but I wasn't going to throw $5Ø at it... That's just a rip-off and sets a bad precedent... :-\

Um... if this is what's killing your interest in the game then you have some serious issues. Get a grip already.

You have PLENTY of time and opportunity to get the minion if you chose so.

This is nothing new from SE, there are items in XI that you can no longer obtain as well. As the old saying goes... you snooze, you lose.

Be it a weapon, a minion, a dungeon or whatever, losing access to any part of the game sucks. I strongly believe everyone should have the ability to access 100% of the game, whenever they buy the game, just for buying it.

Simply because they did something I consider stupid before doesn't mean I should be satisfied with them doing it again.
Granted at this point, they've already been locking content, so attempting to collect anything has been rather pointless from the start.

Adding these types of things on to external purchases though has been something that annoyed me from the onset (In my eyes, you may as well just add a cash-shop at that point); time-limiting them just makes it worse.

Agreed.

I'm kinda of collector, so those OSTs r welcome to my collection. (with 100 musics each, and with mp3 already on disc, its awesome)
Buuuuut....I have to agree, for most of comunity that dun care bout OST albuns....to have a key on something like that sounds like the worst kind of cash shop..

This remember about 3 Dissidia DLCs...where u had to buy other games go get them (one of them wasnt even from Final Fantasy series)....yeah SE isnt new on that >.>
----------------------
However I disagree about event items, I know it sux when u miss something from an event u want but.....somehow thats what makes the event stuff special, they r unique.
I just wanted that Armoirie Chest worked better on that >.>
