Seven Eleven Japan Event - Exclusive items White Fat Chocobo and Maid/Butler Attires.

[Laerune]

WTF Been waiting for a butler outfit for a long time and now they are going to make this Japan only? WTF

If EU and NA wont get this item, then this will be the start of Japan only items, I fear for what is going to come.

[Skivvy]

Yeah, I totally agree with that. It bugs me to no end that all the time, everywhere you read: "I hope this comes to the Mog station." :/

And this is why SE will never give it up. :/ People are so quick to want to pay additional money for things.

I see it like event items. Maybe during the like anniversary they may pop up on the mog station. FFXI had alot of items that were only sold in JP so I'm not concerned about it really because I currently am coming in with no expectations of NA/EU getting them

What about the PSO2 Event?

why are you people all for mog station items? how about we get them free from an event? stop throwing money at your computer...we pay a sub!

But then people would have to wait for their items, an we can't have that now shall we

What about the PSO2 Event?

Q: A collaboration event with Phantasy Star Online 2 has been announced in Japan, but are there any information for collaboration on FFXIV side?

A: We haven’t decided on this yet. In order to maintain FFXIV’s graphic quality, we’re required to decide on the overall dev. schedule for the long term, and for this reason plans for collaboration needs to be made after this.

The quality for Phantasy Star Online 2s version of Odin was pretty great, so we want to return with something great on our side as well.

it a Collaboration so far for now PSO2 get Odin boss fight yoshida haven't decide what he what form PSO2 yet

Care to elaborate? I'm genuinely curious even if I'm a sarcastic jerkface. All I can think of is the forums going up in arms about butt sliders.

Well, the biggest one that I can think of is that the personal housing was going to be "Separate and cheaper" than FC housing. Instead, it was exactly like FC housing...
There's also the SMN glamours. They hyped them to the point of frenzied SMN, and only now are we hearing about them other than "Please look forward to it."
There's the promises to work on their system, to make it so we could actually have Addons and ways to alleviate the inventory issue, which became "Buy more retainers for real money."

And that's just off the top of my head.

Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but most of those seem like quality of life changes that take time and resources to work on and have no impact on the game whatsoever. Housing isn't really that expensive or very hard at all to obtain the gil required to buy a house. Simply play the markets or sell popular items for a quick profit and wait for the inevitable Ishgardian housing.

You don't need summoner glamours to get by in the game just like you don't need Sleipnir or Minfillia's costume; they are creating content to add more customization. The fact that we get items in the mog station is giving the consumer the option to buy what they need and know their limits. I don't care about buying metallic dye or those Magitek mounts which is why I haven't bought them, however, I did buy the Odin horse because it's cool and I had extra funds to get it. I got a cool Cait Sith minion for being one of the nilla 2.0 preorders as a bonus, but you don't see other people freaking out about owning a timed exclusive like that. Except if I just opened a new can of worms. That would really suck. I don't go crazy about owning every single thing that's FFXIV related.

As far as inventory space goes, they actually responded to that today. I present a quote in a quote since I'm not hardcore enough to know how to link to official dev responses.

Q: My Armoury Chest and inventory are always full. Do you have plans to expand the amount of items we can hold?

A: We require more time for this, but we are looking into making it happen.

As far as this event is concerned, the JP players are getting a recolored Fat Chocobo, the same Chocobo collector's edition players and commendation achievers already have. They are getting a chance at getting MGP. They are getting a maid/butler outfit. This event is far more blown out over its importance than it needs to be, and impacts current players in no way.
