    There is one big difference between all the exclusive items from before and this exclusive fanfest item. Anyone could get those exclusive items if they played the actual game from pre-order to now and did all in game events. Fanfest is not online accessible and has nothing to do with playing the game. Exclusive items should be able to be got in game by the gamers who play the game, not by going to Las Vegas or London or Tokyo. It's Final Fantasy Online. Just because they can do it doesn't mean they should. If they changed the locations to the south pole or the moon, would you try to feed me the same BS about getting to them if we really want it? Do I think they should sell in game exclusive items on the mog station? No but they shouldn't be doing this either. They should keep it to in game events and pre-orders only.

    Once again:

    Anyone can go to Vegas, London or Tokyo unless you can show documents from the government forbidding you from visiting those cities. The only thing that will prevent you from getting it is if you can't purchase the ticket and go to the festival.

    Know what prevents you from getting pre-order item? If you couldn't afford the $100+ it cost, and now that the deadline has passed, even if you got codes on ebay they will not work meaning people lost out on those items if they didn't act on it before, yet there's no topics about that.

    Same. Concept. You either can afford to get it or you cannot. The logic used here: SE should give everyone Cait Sith Minions and Moogle Caps, but they haven't...why? It was exclusive perks for pre-ordering. Therefore, answer this question: Why haven't SE mailed everyone who plays FFXIV the Cait Sith Minion and Moogle Cap regardless if you pre-ordered or not? It's an In-game item.

    It has nothing to do with "affording" or "being able to go"... Pre-ordering FFXIV online (the game we are playing right now...) on amazon or at a local gamestop is not the same thing as going on an extravagant vacation in real life for over a week to get an exclusive "in game" item for a video game. End of story.

    There is nothing wrong with having Cait Sith Minion and Moogle Cap as pre-orders for buying the game early. There is nothing wrong with having limited time to be able to get exclusive "in game" items and after that if you didn't get it by either pre-ordering the actual game or doing the quest/event "in game" then you missed it. But is was accessible to everyone by either buying the game early or playing the game and not by going on an extravagant vacation in real life which has nothing to do with playing the game online directly.

    This is a common flaw I see in people's reasoning. They feel that because certain things, outside the hands of the people organizing the event, prevent themselves from going, therefore the event itself is unfair. And this is false.

    The event is not unfair but locking in game items to a real life event is unfair. If that is fair then just open up the cash shop, because it all boils down to money.
