New Optional Items avaible on Mogstation!

[Felis]

Is bomb dance a new emote? I don't recall it.

It was part of last summer event. Everyone who did it last year already have it.
It was also part of the summer event 2012, but it got removed after summer event 2012 ended.

So, the emote is 3 years old.
And everyone who joined after summer event 2012 have not paid a single $ into the creation of the emote with their sub.

But aren't those minions obtainable by.. simply doing the story of the game?
Why would you buy them when inevitably you will get them anyway, since you need to finish the story to do anything in end game.

No, it is from last year anniversary event

That's not true. After the start of the 2.0 version, and prior to the cash shop, you could buy the items from previous years' event during said event with gil.

To give those who have not played 1.x the chance to get it also for free. SE understand that they can't expect players to have played 1.x
