Chinese Exclusive Outfits (Or: Look At This Awesome Stuff You're NEVER Getting)

[Lukha]

Your comment seems worded in a way that makes it sound like players in China are owed something because their government places restrictions on what FFXIV can display to them.

they are owed something, because they're getting a product which is objectively inferior to the product the rest of the world is getting, and therefore SE gives them exclusive (albeit very superficial) goodies in order to make that product more enticing for them, as well as to make up for the cut content. It's good business; if you want to sell a dented dryer, you have to offer the customer a discount and throw in the hoses and cords for free, because the customer needs an incentive to purchase an imperfect product. But if the next customer in line demands the same deal on a brand-new dryer, you'd laugh in their faces.

Again, I'm not saying I wouldn't like the outfits (Though looking at them closely, they look kind of poorly textured and as if they're resuing assets from the Thavnarian stuff), and it's perfectly possible that we will get something similar (But hopefully better made) in the future, but this is a little like demanding that the pre-order exclusive items be made available to everyone for free.
