THIS MAID OUTFIT THATS REGION LOCKED TO JP ACCOUNTS

[Ashkendor]

wait really?

Did you seriously not read the "inb4" in that quote?

This request is right up there with wanting the moogle costume. It's a 'you had to be there' reward used as a promotion, in this case promoting a collaboration between Square and 7-11 (in Japan). You had to be there, shopping at a 7-11, in Japan. The only way that could get any more exclusive is if you had to have a birthday in either July or November to qualify. While I personally think the outfits would be cool to have, I'm fine with their exclusivity, just like I'm fine with the moogle costume's exclusivity (mind, I don't have the costume, I never bought the stream nor visited Fan Fest). I mean, if you're going to request this then why stop at just the outfit. Lets have the primal lottery earrings be available forever, too!...

Except you didn't have to be there for the Moogle costume...

It's not really a "you had to be there" when people literally don't have the option. Even if someone bought a plane ticket to Japan, they need a Japanese version of the game anyway. The fact is that this is limited to one section of the player base only. I'd agree with you if it was a case of "there was an event on at this month available to all players but I couldn't log in" but this completely blocks out anyone who isn't a Japanese player.

Technically you did. You just didn't have to physically be there. You DID have to, at the very least, buy into their streams making your attendance virtual instead of literal. You had to be there all the same.

This is a prime example of how much easier it is to run collaborations in Japan as opposed to the US. This also another example of Japanese exclusives in a multi-national game. Pokemon regularly, if not seasonally, runs special events where you can only get pokemon with certain moves/are shiny in locales that have no connection at all to games, much less pokemon. Like the train station pokemon event. Yes, they had pokemon being released through visits to specific train stations. Had to be there as these specific pokemon have never been released anywhere else since. I'm fine with this. It's not my game, I have no say in how they promote it. If that includes exclusive items from local collaborations then more power to them. I'm not going to flip tables over not getting a shot at it, that's just being selfish.

Look, I love maid outfits. I feel like part of my soul dies whenever I look at japanese-players screenshots with maid outfits. But guys, CHILL. We're going to get it. They already said that.

Again, completely different levels of severity. Having to buy into a stream while sitting at home and having to own a Japanese copy of FFXIV and also be physically located in Japan or have access to a 7/11 are completely different ball games.

"Looking into" something and saying we can definitely have it are also two different things. There's nothing wrong with letting SE know what we want as a player base.

[Grimmel]

In the live letter there was mention of SE looking into making the outfits available in other regions, but as far as I know no specifics have been announced.

That being said, I'm so willing to pay someone in Japan to go to 7-Eleven 14 times just to get that glorious maid outfit. I mean, I'd rather not have to, but MAID OUTFIT.

I think the fact that it's region locked went over your head. You wouldn't be able to use the codes on an NA/EU account.

You're sugarcoating the situation. It's a lot more entertaining to not portray our ravenous peers as though they're actually civilized. Let the vast majority of people froth at the mouth because they don't understand how things work. Others that actually do end it at letting them simply know that we want those goods are doing just that. Better to not include the foam into the party. It's obvious they want it, but it's also obvious no one likes them.

@Gilraen, I already stated I'm perfectly fine if they run some EU/NA exclusive events too. Even if it's virtual. The point is that we have no chance of getting something we really want right now, and I personally don't think that's fair. I respect your opinion of being fine with it but please respect ours and the fact some people really want this outfit.

@Welsper59 I'm just expressing my opinion here, I'll leave it as I want the outfit and that's that
