New furniture only accessible via Mogstation :(

Cant blame SE for adding these items, they know that there is a demand for good looking items and they know that these items sell. Look at the mounts, the outfits the minions, they are selling like hotcakes. SE would be a fool to not taking advantage of. This does not mean I agree with SE, but majority have voted with their wallets and they are oke with it.

Right now FF main characters are from veteren rewards only, but I would not be suprised if we get secondary main characters or viillan outfits in the Mog Station.

I mean; it's nice to have items that anyone can get in game, but at the same time it is just furniture, and not detrimental towards the game's health. I think it could be a nice gift for someone if they really like it, but don't have the money for it. (These should have methods that prevent their permanent loss, especially if they're for real $$$)

They keep adding more and more stuff directly to the mog station and not obtainable in-game. The more accepted this is the more they will expand it and we don't know if it'll stay as "cosmetic/optional" forever (also don't forget extra retainers, which are actually involved in gameplay, are already a thing. It's just a matter of time before they add something else along those lines).

Veteran rewards aren't much different tho - you get them the second you pay for enough months. Mog items might actually be better (cheaper) when a new player wants something for 2 years etc.

They're gonna keep getting away with it since a lot of people don't seem to care.

Just in time for the housing wards/apartments they are adding in the coming months I guess.

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.

WildStar, and I believe Rift as well, both have housing stuff in their cash shops. In fact, I'm guessing most games that have personal housing and a cash shop sell furnishings in their shops.

Yep but they are free to play

[hobostew]

Cash shops aren't new and they probably aren't going anywhere unless people stop buying from them which is really unlikely to happen.

Sorta related to the topic but I think those items look really tacky. I wouldn't use em even if they were free.

Checks wallet yep still nice and fat

This stuff could have been put in the game and be acquired from new content...:/

How do you know that the game's budget was used to develop these items? If it wasn't then they obviously don't go in the game for free.
