THIS MAID OUTFIT THATS REGION LOCKED TO JP ACCOUNTS

[Felis]

So is that the male version?

Only the butler suit

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.

Sadly it is not just a 'you had to be there' reward, but a 'you had to be there and have a japanese account' reward

"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.

I agree with you. We should show our love for maid outfits. But not spamming the foruns and spreading misinformation about SE actions (btw, I'm not talking about you, the community is doing that). There is a context behind these prizes, and people are ignoring it. It's not like SE is making this region-locked because she's mean and only care about japanese players. It's not like SE do not recognize that we want the maid outfit.
I just think that people need to CALM DOWN. Anyway, I hope that the promotion is a success and I can grab my maid outfit soon.

At first, SE didn't show any interest in adding the Lightning Strikes items to the cash shop. Apparently they wanted cross-over and special event items to be exclusive. They changed their stance due to overwhelming demand. (Not to mention it was a gray area considering their own precedent) Now we have two things happening at once. The first is that the english community showed an overwhelming demand for items that were locked to other regions. The second is that we're showing an overwhelming interest in a special promotion being held in Japan. See the common link here? Region locked exclusives isn't the best thing for the community as a whole. Not for SE, our region, or the others. Everyone should have some way to participate in these things even if the items are one time only.


(Unrelated but... I only care about this stuff because I buy the items for my significant other. )

Why isn't it in game yet or in our cash shop? Come on...

They should know better then to release something for somewhere else first when the game is available to more then one region -_-

I'd imagine they'll wait a while (months .... longer?) until these items will be in the cash shop.

A bit disappointing since I did want the Ifrit mask.

I think one of the (fan) reasonings why we could get the Korean/Chinese stuff was due to those items being made by the chinese devs there + the game being locked to those countries.

However, unlike Korea/China, EU/USA and JP can play with each other, so they specifically blocked the western players from this.

stuff

Kay, then where is our NA/EU/ETC region locked outfits?

I think that is a silly way to handle it. Everyone should have the chance to get everything that pays the game when it comes to glamour items. And BTW...the titan guy on twitter said they are coming, they are just figuring out how. So they are eventually coming.

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.

It did indeed go over my head, and I acknowledged the same when Ashkendor pointed it out on page two.

That's good to know. It's probably still good to have the conversation across all of the regions though. SE needs the feedback either way. xD

inb4 the maid is gender locked and the butler isn't

Funny thing actually. The Lodestone database lists the butler set as male characters only.

Sweet. Bout freakin' time we get some more good looking male-only glamours. Maybe SE is finally waking up!

Now to settle in and wait till I can get this for my dragon husbando. :3
