Korean New Year Exclusive Gear

[Xairos]

Why should you "ask" for it? It should not have been exclusive in the first place. Why should I request a fix to something that should not have been a problem in the first place?

Honestly, I don't reward stupidity. When you restrict content you just waste development time. That time could of been made spent making a new outfit for EVERYONE.

That is why I'm complaining. Even though I want the item, this thread isn't about asking for it. It never was. The thread is about exclusive content being a bad thing.

If you can't discuss the topic, then why are you in the thread?

We don't know if it is 100%, forever until the end of time exclusive. When I said it might come, you said "dont know if it will come and I dont care, NEED NAO for Everyone!!11!" You are jumping the gun and hopping all the way to "I need to Demand" (which is kind of a form of stupidity in any discourse). The OP title is about the Gear. It, rather hurriedly, asked for the ability to own said items. This thread turned into the White Knighting of "the greater good" that could be right around the corner for us all for all we know.

People tend to ask for things they want badly, I agree though that being jealous is probably not the best claim though. Though I don't think that makes them entitled, most people don't even know what constitutes as jealousy (resentment, etc) and throw it around willy-nilly.

I don't believe that people resent Korean players for getting these, they just want them as well.

I agree with you. I don't perceive any resentment here. Just maybe at the idea that this will be exclusive forever. But that hatred is being lobbied at a baseless idea. So far, but correct me if im wrong, the only exclusive items have been the 1.0 stuff. The plush minions are cash and maybe the Twitch/Livestream MogSuits?

Those are probably exclusive. And I wouldn't fault anyone for being angry at that, mostly because it has come and gone and remained exclusive. This hasn't even arrived in the bloody game yet.

I didn't read through the whole thread, so oops if this was already mentioned, but will the Korean servers be part of the JP/NA/EU servers? If it were to share the servers, then I would also be worried about the introduction of exclusive things.

Example: Running a raid/dungeon and in comes a player wearing the hanbok = potential positive/negative target that the others will focus, knowing it's an exclusive item.

If the Korean servers are separate, like how the Chinese servers have their own, then it would deem understandable and acceptable. The rest of the world is full aware of Korean culture and are fans of their entertainment media, I don't see why they would exclude this from the JP/NA/EU if Korean servers and the rest would be playing together.

Fair enough, if it isn't forever exclusive there is no problem. But I still think people should voice their interest, it doesn't hurt to let SE know that there is an audience for these items elsewhere. As for the Moogle Outfit, I'd think the promotion would roll around again during the next fanfest, which was the event it was attached to.

No, just like the Chinese the Koreans will have their own servers seperate from the rest of the world due to the Korean gov't strict rule(s) regarding games. SE not only had to localize it, but also had to make sure the Korean version follows the gov't law. You should look up Korean gov't stance on gaming, especially mmorpg it's quite interesting.

On the top of my head you need to use your Korean-issued SSN# to register to play an mmorpg and if you're underage you get a "curfew" meaning the game shuts down at a certain time. Period. Unless you're an adult. There's actually a (black) market for adult SSN# ...

I don't think they're using SE servers (like China), so probably not.

If this is their exclusive, I want an exclusive for just American Players...

Ah I see. Good to know and thanks for the follow-ups. As much as I like the hanboks, I'm can accept not having it, since the Korean servers will be separate.

China got an exclusive mount for their launch.

Was it a mount? I thought it was a panda minion, which they 'kind of' gave us remodeled as the Nana Bear.
