New furniture only accessible via Mogstation :(

The new moogle item.

Wow, that is just a stretched texture (without the weird wood-like filter the small one has). That's really unfortunate and disappointing, even beyond the ridiculous price of $15 to resize a model and resize the texture without even resampling it with a decent filter to keep it from blurring so much and looking terrible.

Edit: Realized there are other close pictures on the Mog station.

Slowly they keep pushing slowly.

As usual, the thread will end with a community divided pro/against it and nothing happens, then in a couple months when everything calms down they silently add a few more items, people argue again, divided opinions, nothing happens, they add more.... The never ending cycle where the only one who benefits is SE, in the end one side is giving them free money and the other considers it too small of an issue to quit over it.

Sad but true and while I have nothing against people having their own opinion, the only thing that speaks right now is money: if people buy these new items they'll add more, if they don't they might add less or never again.

But considering that the cash shop is getting more silly things that could be released in-game with ease, I think we all know the answer...

PS: expect the worst in the future, such as wards and even unique weapon skins.

They're just testing how much they can get away with at this point. Furniture, seasonal items, npc only gear that already exists in game? Well it's only for glamour purposes but when will they decide to draw the line in the sand?

I predict that one day they will begin selling reskinned raid gear but only at lvl 1 for glamours. We'll finally have that dyeable high-allagan or (insert future raid here) accessories that already exist in-game but you'll need to buy the full, slightly customizable set for $15! Meanwhile I can only envision the comments; "Well it's an outdated raid anyway it's only for glamour now" or "now crafters won't be able to take advantage of the market yay!"

For a playerbase that complains so much about there being not enough incentives to run content, there sure are a lot of people who like to pay to get their rewards instantly. Not having any of this being reward for content is just slowly killing incentives to run anything at all.

I once made a thread for premium wards, not because I'm in favor of it, but just because I wanted to see all these people who now speak in favor of the cash shop suddenly go against premium wards http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...you-pay-for-it but hey, premium wards aren't p2w, it's just vanity content!

The double standard is fun.

@Darsho The testing part already happened with the previous exclusives, now they are just going all out.

Did you miss the last major crafting update or something? ._.

It is mind blowing that people still defend the cash shop saying that the money goes back into the game when it clearly doesn't. We have been getting less and less content with each patch. Down to two dungeons instead of three. Main story has been getting shorter (last patch wasn't so bad but..), a massive grand total of TWO hildy quests (really???), and the formula for content is copy paste (dungeons, tomes, 8 man raid, 24 man raid, blah blah blah). Here is to hoping the palace of the dead thing isn't a total flop (looking at you vermillion and diadem)

even Yoshi said something about the lack of man power on the FFXIV team , that doesnt mean that FFXIV team lacks $$$ , but sometimes it feels that we are paying FFXV and FFVII remake :/ and not getting what we deserve back fully
