I want an official response.

People complaining are silly.

Why the hell should a Collector's Edition exist? There is content locked up there in the form of mounts and minions (coeurl/fat chocobo/ behemoth minion) I see no complaints about this. I see no complaints about the fact you can upgrade to these on mogstation. But the first thing we'll complain about is a mount in cash shop, a minion in cash shop.

Get over yourselves people, you are NOT entitled to every single pixel in the game even if you pay for it monthly even if you feel it should be that way. Do you feel just because you pay monthly you should have every single exclusive item?

If so please elaborate on what the hell is the point of a collectors edition? or the Moogle bonus from stream? or any other bonuses in time? What company would seriously NOT do this and be competent in a business environment? Even the most successful of MMOs have a cash shop so where exactly is your comparison coming from? This is the new normal for MMOs in general.

If it truly bothered you, stfu and take your money and gtfo. You don't need a damn answer from SE to tell you what you will get. They said cash shop will be vanity only and that's all I see. A bunch of minions that don't do crap but follow you, a mount that looks like he got a rod shoved up his ass when it moves and some dyes that more then likely look like eye cancer on cloth armor.

Like someone posted before, if it was based on GIL? TOO MUCH MONEY,
if it was cheap gil/ None , NOT EXCLUSIVE
Cost IRL Money? CASH GRAB

Im a collector of minions and mounts and will get all I can when possible eventually (only upgraded to collectors edition to get the ones from that) and even so, I don't give a crap about spending money if I want it.
