While I have never complained about the Cash Shop and have supported this in the past, this addition to the Mogstation has me worried.

Preface: I own a house, btw, so this is coming from someone who wishes to have those items.

To me, this is a really slippery slope they've decided to test out. The problem I have here is that for the longest of times, everything craftable for housing has been done ingame. This is the first time that furniture has been added to the Mogstation. And we're not talking about any items: These are upgraded items that you cannot get ingame.

Every time we've had the ability to get a 'fancier' model, it was through the game by drops from either Extremes or other avenues to do so. Or, you saved your Gil and bought it on the AH. The fact that this isn't an option is a 180 change of direction for S-E and it makes me wonder if this is not them trying to 'delve' into what exactly they can put in the Mogstation that people will buy, in addition to paying a sub. Furthermore, these items are non removable once it's placed in the home. So if, say, someone who only has a room in an FC decides to plop this in, and the FC disbands? They just lost an item that cost them 15 bucks (more if you aren't in the US). Is that fair, really? Losing a month's worth of a sub because of a decision someone else has? While I can say that everything in this game has a risk of not panning out for you, we're talking about someone dropping money that might be hard earned for some people for the looks.

Then, if this goes well, do they consider going elsewhere? Skins for weapons? They already have clothing: it's not a far stone throw to design weapons and armors next to sell. Iconic items such as Cecil's full armor or Terra's attire would be great sellers, and compound that with iconic weapons such as, say, The Ultima Weapon for Cloud...

I have no issues with Fantasia. I have no issues with the whole marriage thing (I shelled out 40 bucks for the best for me and my wife.) I am, however, starting to have an issue when they are putting things in the Mogstation that may lead to other, more desirable items to be put up.

TL;DR: This is a very slippery slope S-E is on and I'm not too thrilled about it.
