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

[Gyson]

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 they can thank their government for that. That's their government's fault.. it's not SE choosing to do so. Without SE's compliance to their government's demands they would have no FFXIV at all.

I'm not sure what that has to do with SE spending development time on exclusive content just for them - my government doesn't prevent me from receiving those outfits. Instead, that's SE choosing to favor one batch of consumers over the other with a particular set of items.

It's how localization works. Just deal with it.

I am. Telling the developers that you're not fond with how something is working is one of many ways of dealing with it.

You can choose to do nothing and just accept whatever is handed to you if that's how you prefer to deal with it. As I don't pay for your subscription, I'm not going to insist you do otherwise; hopefully you can do the same.
