Correction of prices for optional items

They said they wont be available ever again in game from the events? plz send quote from fan fest i didn't hear that part

Go into the game and look. The past event items are not available. Those NPCs are not in game because they're in the cash shop. That's why there's a petition and so much fussing over this particular topic lol.

Basically, yes. I don't think they directly said they wouldn't, but it was heavily implied. As you can see, the event vendor isn't in game for the Halloween event. If this event is any indication, there's no reason to believe they'll be back for future seasonal events. The thing is, some people aren't going to buy from a cash shop on principle, and some might not have the means to buy from the cash shop, so they'll never see these items.

yea if they aren't available from seasonal events ever again which id like a quote for then i would totally understand why people wouldn't want them in the store, but i still see no harm in it i could care less. when they start selling end game gear that's when it will actually matter to me this little bit of items idk why any1 would seriously care about them. like honestly are you really goona use it u know dmn well they will sit in ur retainer inventory or in ur hotel room one.

the seasonal vendor for the halloween one isnt in game anymore? il havr to go on and do the quest again and see if i can find the vendor

[Sakuraluna]

Nope, the vendor isn't there. There's a miqo'te vendor in Ul'dah that sells the earrings and barding from this year's event for the fate cookies, but that's pretty much it. :/

I wonder if this cash shop will come with an overpriced monocle ?

More seriously, i'l wait and see but if you put the focus on it or the nicest item are in it i'm out. I didn't stop playing a mmo with a stupid cash shop policy to find myself with another.

More seriously, i'l wait and see

And that's the mature response to this situation.

I still can't find a source that says there will be exclusive items in the cash shop.

Because they stated last year it was to allow people who didn't play 1.0 to get the items, it wasn't going to stay that way, this year it's a different set of quests and item rewards that's actually exclusive to ARR. That's why this past summer event they let you get the 1.0 yukatas and the last summer event all of the swimsuits, which were from 1.0.

You know, it really makes me wonder what makes you doubt. The reason it wasn't stated and doesn't have a source is because it's common sense for them to make everything in the shop exclusive to the shop or else the shop won't have any purpose for them (to milk money lol). That, and from a marketing point of view they rather say "oh btw here's our cash shop feel free to buy" instead of "here's our cash shop of exclusive items you won't be able to buy in game ever!"... Trust me that if it was obtainable in game, seeing all this rage, it'd be stated long time ago.

And also, what cash shop in any game had the same vanity displayed in the cash shop also sold by in game currency? I don't remember such.

Wondering if the cash shop items will be obtainable in game is just wishful thinking.

To be honest, I am curious. I find the avenue of having, lets say the mount, as a rare drop from the Odin trial (like the other primals) as well as a cash shop item a plausible route. It may be my lack of exposure to actual cash shops as I admittedly have little experience with MMOs prior to FFXIV that makes me doubt it a little.
