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.

They can't do that for PR reasons. At least, they can't if they don't have something planned that involves a similar means, as far as going out of your way to get it and cost is concerned. I think it's safe to assume that they don't have a partnership with other region businesses for this, but who knows... could just be in talks, if anything. An eventual Mog Station release is the likely outcome a long time from now.

If the campaign is targeted at one demographic, would you really think it be a good idea to let them know that everyone else across the world is going to get the same thing but likely in an easier (and probably cheaper) way? Even if that ease ends up being the case, you DON'T want to tell the target audience they're going to have it worse than everyone else before it even happens.

I'd imagine that in the west, it's a little harder since it's not considered the norm for just any game to tie itself to something unrelated. I mean, look at what co-promotions we do get in the US. It's all AAA games or extremely popular ones (like WoW). There's no way SE would fork over that kind of money for a game like XIV, as it's pretty obvious no one is approaching them for it. I'd imagine peripheral related companies might be good with it, like Logitech, Razer, or NVIDIA, but that'd be a far more expensive campaign to us and a bigger risk to them, compared to something as simple as spending a couple bucks to get some points (though in total, you'd be looking at maybe $30 or more to get all the things you want).

SE please bring these items over to NA/EU qq .. I would be happy to pay them via mogstation

[StaticX27]

Personally, my salt is that I live in Japan, and have for the past 6 years, but because I can't get approved for a credit card in Japan, I have to use an American service account...

Completely miss out on both promotions if they do a buy type thing like they're doing here when they NA release it.

I was really pissed when they announced you had to have a JP service account, and while I understand their reasoning, it completely screws over foreigners living here long term.

[Discordia]

They should do a cross promotion with Blizzard and World of Warcraft. Because I know the JP players won't get squat ... lol. /sarcasm

(JP players routinely get screwed with many Blizzard games, the latest being Hearthstone, and I'm sure there's instances of these things happening a lot with other titles, and other players in different regions as well)

I've been living in Japan since 2010, been playing since 1.0, and I never needed a credit card to pay for my JP service account. I just use crysta from the konbini...

[Sakuraluna]

They can't do that for PR reasons. Snip.

Thing is, I get what you've been saying, but if they can't at least settle our concerns then they actively put themselves in this position. They would have had to do their research before signing anything. They knew how much of the player base this would effect and they still went through with it despite the restrictions it would put on them, and knowingly without having any concrete plans for the non-Japanese side of things outside of releasing the statement, "We're working on it." You can argue that they've got all these restrictions now, but contractual agreements don't just pop up at random. It's a two-sided relationship.

Yup. Or you can get those webmoney cards as well. But, every 7-11, Lawson, Family Mart... all carry XIV time cards for 30 and I think 60 days too.
I have a Japanese credit card, but I've been in Japan since around 2007. It took a couple of tries to get one... after 2 years of living here. =.=

I just realized today that I get one code for each bottle, time go buy 26 more bottles of water, lol! I bought 2 at first because I misread the point per bottle thingy. :/ It's 108 yen per bottle or $0.96. (~121 Yen for the flavored water stuff)

EDIT... oh they also are now stocking Orange Coke. http://imgur.com/a/hIM2b << FFXIV stuff and Orange Coke!
