SE Lies Again

[Vespar]

I actually just read the updates to the OP. OP, if you're so upset about SE supposedly lying to you, then quit the game and go play another company's MMO... Everything in an MMO is subject to change. If they made it so that items that were exclusive months or years ago in FFXI or FFXIV are now accessible again it was probably the company's way to back to their loyal players. But if you can't see that then that's kind of sad.

Your inability to read has led you to believe that SE lied to you?

Nowhere does it say that this is exclusive. All this says is that you must buy the ticket and attend to get the item (to avoid people just buying tickets for the item then scalping it later most likely). Moreover, I like that they offer this, since a trip to Vegas for me would empty my pockets (also I couldn't go due to my job, so I like there's another option to check this thing out). Remember how butthurt people got over the minion you got with the game's OST?

Seriously, this "SE Truth Brigade" nonsense is idiotic. The -principle- (as opposed to the head of a school mind you) of the thing is that SE wants to give other players a chance at an item. Man, the sky is falling. WE MUST DEMAND THE HEAD OF YOSHI!!!!! It may have been different in other games, but guess what? We aren't playing that game, and things have changed.

Seriously OP, there's much bigger travesties for you to latch onto. Moogle pajamas aren't one of them.

On the one hand, I still take issue with the moogle set, because it remains a limited-duration, exclusive item, and I'll never support those.
Especially when they're tied to an external event and/or have a cost (I'll agree this is [at best] barely skirting the cash-shop design)

But on the other hand, this at least somewhat diminishes the exclusivity, which is a good thing.


And I'm not deluded enough to believe there weren't people that would throw down the money just for this item (both before and after the decision to add it to the Premium Stream). This discussion keeps coming up (Soundtracks, Recruit-a-Friend campaign, etc.), but these 'promo' items are never just added for the sake of being something you just happen to get 'on-the-side'. They know full well that people will actively pay the price just for them due to the perceived exclusivity. I've seen games where people would regularly throw down hundreds for standard cash-shop items to qualify for ladder 'prizes' (Tiered-Spender promos and the like) which were officially 'intended' to be 'bonuses' that you happen to get for blowing an excessive amount of money. The people that did this (essentially) would never just happen to get the 'bonus'; it was a conscious decision to basically buy it outright. And the companies that set this up weren't stupid; that's always the goal all along.

This thread is hilarious. You're upset that more people are going to get access to an item? Why? Because you want to be elitist by having what you want to be a rare item? Grow up.

The real reward for attending the fan fest was never an in-game item. It's getting to meet the producers of the game, trying out that Odin trial, meeting fellow fans, having a good time, getting to say "I was there". The digital reward is a little thank you. If that is the reason you are attending then you don't deserve your ticket.

Pretty much this.

on a side note...didnt SE require folks put their character name/world on their ticket info?
If so, SE (and maybe other fans) will have a chance to tell you in person how they really feel :P

Still not sure what this post is about... nowhere in the first quote does it say "Exclusive for Fan Fest attendee's" So I'm not sure what you are getting at.

The point of fan fest is to go and get the latest and greatest on the game, upcoming updates, content, meet the producer and developers etc. and the events they have planned.

Honestly with how little trust I have in SE as a company I'm not surprised they did this.
The only fantasy left at this point in the game is the fantasy the company dreams up and promises players, then does the opposite.

Precisely - If you're going to an event like FanFest go for the experience and the great atmosphere, don't go just because of an in game item...

I'll be staring at you from my legacy exclusive gobbue mount... oh wait...

Good leaping lizard calm to down. It is a in game item that probably can't even be vanitied because it will be like odin suit. More people can get it now so you rage? If I gave you my scarf of wonderous wit would you get a grip on reality? Probably not. I wonder how much time you have spent raging over this.

Don't see where it says the Moogle suit is exclusive to this event and they wouldn't offer it through other avenues down the road.
