As someone who couldn't care less about the maid outfit (though I do want that Ifrit mask), there's definitely more to it than just items for me. It's the fact that they were willing to put aside 50%+ of the playerbase entirely, and then toss them aside as an afterthought to make some extra money (or promotion for their game in Japan). There are already people going around saying that the thoughts of the English playerbase don't matter as much as the Japanese, we're already second grade customers getting hastily done translations with Live Letters, lots of official developer posts never make it here without the help of our brilliant fan translators on Blue Gartr or Reddit, and so on. It just sucks that they're treating players outside of Japan as 2nd grade customers, but hey, that's no surprise from Japanese developers.

It's good to know that they're in the works of planning something out though, hopefully it's through the Mogstation, I'd even pay $10 for the two masks if they were bundled (or $5 each)! I don't get a bottle of water with it, but hey, it is what it is. Let's just hope they don't pull this stunt again, or if they did, announce worldwide plans at the same time instead of turning a Live Letter into a promotion for merchandise and items we can't even purchase.
