    yes I know we can get it from somewhere else but still you ashamed to be Australian??? SE is robbing us blind here AUS & NZ
    ff type 0 AUS $199
    ff 14 heavensward collector's edition AUS $299
    FF14 monthly fee 30 day $19
    That has nothing to do with SE and everything to do with our federal government and all their inane taxes, charges and tarrifs they levy on everything - from customs imports to warehousing to the point of sale. SE has no control over that. And although I cannot give any explanation as to why the European SE site does not allow Australians to purchase merchandise and only games (although I suspect again taxes, Australian import laws, licensing and censorship classification has something to do with it), as others have said, there are plenty of other places to get the soundtracks online instead of using the SE store - in fact, here's an online store where I have purchased my own copies of the FFXIV soundtracks from (along with the artbook), and they even automatically adjust prices into Australian dollars for you.

    But then I guess it's much easier to sit and whine and attack SE *rolls eyes*.

    It has everything to do with them. It doesn't take a highly educated marketing team to consider, hey let's make a marketing promotion that alienates a large population(guessing over 60% outside JP) of our player database, that doesn't sound like a great plan!

    Marketing 101 is considering your customers and who uses your product. Unless there's some financial backlog that suggests Japanese customers definitely will fork out enough money more than the receptive excluded focus groups after promotions said and done, I don't see how it's logical to even have this promotion exclusion when they could've just slapped the items on the Mogstation and only suffer the usual banter.
