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

[Tsuga]

I need the maid and butler outfits in my life. SE, please bring those to every other region!

[Cupcakesu]

For just 'wanting to know' something, you're being very accusatory and irritable...

There was no accusation. Irritable, maybe, but I haven't accused anyone of anything. Thanks for caring, though?

That it's even a question and that they can't confirm these sorts of details is what's frustrating. I don't want to hear "Maaaaaybe we'll bring this over. We're talking about it". I want to hear "It WILL be available in NA/EU. We're just discussing how."

Same here. I feel like the "we're working on it" isn't a very concrete answer at all, we need something a little more definite and we're not getting so much as a "please look forward to it," just a "maybe." I'm not picky, I would even be perfectly fine with these items being region-locked to japan if it was understood that both NA and EU would be getting exclusives for our respective regions. I'm not really a big fan of the maid look and I already have the original fat choco, but it's the principle of it. Favoritism isn't nice, equality is.

Everyone, just remember that when Squeenix released these items as part of their campaign with 7-11, they may have signed some sort of exclusivity deal with 7-11. Considering that the 7-11 corporation in Japan is big enough to have ITS OWN BANKS and department stores, Squeenix's hands may be tied. They may WANT to give it to us (after all they can't say no to the Siren song of Mogstation purchases), but commercial legalise may be preventing them from doing so.

Give them some time. I'd be happy knowing that we'll get it *eventually*, and treating myself to the rare in-game appearances as and when we see them.

I'd honestly be happy to pay for it via the Mogstation, should they decide to release it that way outside of Japan. But I have a feeling it will take a while for that to happen so I'll just save my pennies and hope. Both the male and female attire looks amazingly pretty. Especially since the dress looks so lolita'esque from the back.

All we can do is wait and hope... ;-;

They have to choose their words wisely in cases like these (which isn't different than other occasions really). This isn't a simple internal matter for SE alone. This is a promotional partnership with another separate corporate entity where the intention is to draw attention to that other companies sales. The last thing you want to do is make it seem like its going to be significantly better for everyone but the people the campaign is for. You effectively make the other company into the bad guys by doing so. That would be one of the absolute dumbest things any business partnership in history could do.

WoW had a similar promotion, exclusive to the US, with Mountain Dew. Years later, everyone could access the item, likely due to the contract being long over with. The fact it was mentioned, for this game, that the other regions are being looked in to for the goods means they'll get it to us, but it's a matter of how and when, where the "when" is the most prominent part. If they can't arrange for some sort of similar deal in other regions, then it'll be a while until we get it... but the point is we WILL get it. Mog Station is the most likely source, but again, they can't just put it on there immediately. Contracts tend to be interesting like that, and cases like this are potential examples of whether or not someone truly understands what that means.

I understand the fear of not getting something that others can, I really do. But I also work among auditors and learn of many aspects in the corporate world because of that. Trust me, it's not as clear cut and simple as many people want to believe. At least, it's not if you're trying to actually be fair to everyone, be a good business partner, and/or avoid breach of contract.

Please make this outfit available in NA!!! OMG I will die if we don't get the outfit in a similar timeframe as our lovely Japanese counterparts!

Really...? Now mounts are jp only? Way too screw minion and mount collectors that go the extra mile to be 100%... so tired of promotional bs. And you know NA/EU or other regions won't get exclusive mounts that jp doesn't get... which shouldn't even be a thing anyway. Why separate any video game item by region? Seems like there is no common sense to this. If it is promotional for cash and greed reasons, why not present it to everyone in the online world in some form or another. More consumers means more cash. Keep region exclusive junk to accessories if you must do it. Unless they just want to piss off all non jp players? I just don't get it...

Because they are trying to (Key word: Trying) but 7-11 is a case of Germans Love David Hasselhoff in Japan. They can't pull the same event here with estern locations becuase they are the kind of pit stops you'd find at Gas Stations, they might try this for GameStop (a bit closer to the playerbase) or Walmart/Target or maybe Starbucks (If they are going for a similar method to Japan) or if they fail to secure the rights to do this type of promotion in the west they might just put it in the Mog Station for the same price they price their usual stuff, to they might decide not to do it at all because of entitled paranoiacs thinking that just because Japan gets it first it means that everyone else won't get it at all (But of a self fulfilling prophecy there). It could go many ways

Well if they had better communication with all the regions as they released it in japan and told us they will release it in the future in our regions or timed releases at the same time fairly. This wouldn't be a problem and I wouldn't feel the need to voice so strongly against SE promotional bs but they didn't, so yeah.
