New furniture only accessible via Mogstation :(

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.

Those games also have the ability for ALL players to have a real house. In fact Rift GIVES you a free starter home and a few items for it just for reaching level 6 and doing a small quest. I mean look at the hoops we have to jump through just to get a room with a free company house.

And this is from a free to play game...honestly, I expected better from SE and a pay to play game.

Moogle Plush can be crafted

True but last I knew, it wasn't the size of a Roegadyn

Yeah, I'm not saying I agree with it. I was just pointing out that where there's personal housing and cash shops there are things in the shops for said housing.

Also, WildStar gives you a free plot as well, at level 14, with some initial stuff to put in it

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.

until one day you wake up and the whole world has changed.
*looks at DLC* GDI people!

I'm not too concerned that its cash shop exclusive because it's pure vanity.

But I take issue with the prices. They are at least twice as high as they should be ><.

Normally I don't bat an eye at Mogstation stuff, because it's all vanity and old event items I don't care about. Sleipnir for $25? whatever - similar prices to WoW's stuff, if not a little cheaper (cash shop minions in WoW are usually $10). Event items were always priced kind of silly. I really wonder how many sales of zodiac helmets they've had.

Furnishings for $15 though without any guarantee that you keep ownership of the furnishing? The cost is too high imo but the latter is ridiculous. That anyone with permissions can just walk away with $15 of yours if you place it in shared space is sinfully short-sighted. Even your personal FC room isn't safe since they still haven't fixed FC leadership being able to lock people out of the house.

"B-b-but...it's not final fantasy!" or something like that. Frankly I did say this to several people and the response was "This housing system is far better and works as intended". Of course if they mean "constant lack of plots and 45 days reclaim" as "Working as intended" then I'm sure they're right.

I mean I quit SWTOR a year ago and when I went back to my old house it was still there, with everything I left from last time. If i leave here for barely 2 months I lose everything I worked so hard for. Sure at least I get a refund but come on, way to ruin your time by coming back and seeing your house gone! I'm sure they knew that the lack of content would've made people leave so here I am, unable to unsub for more than 1 month without risking to lose my house.

And I also played Wildstar and that housing was such a good thing there. And yes, if I quit for a long time I can still come back and find everything I left just there untouched. Way to go!

So yeah, on top of having badly implemented housing, lack of plots and a housing reclaim that essentially forces you to stay subbed, now we have items that we must pay with real money AND they can be easily lost by just removing them...I wouldn't complain if they were a buck or two but come on, 10 euros?

Shame that none of the stuff off the MogStation actually goes towards making FFXIV better, but at least I'll see Kingdom Hearts 3 within my lifetime now.

I guess I can thank all the Bennu owners for having the money go towards a better game. Maybe with some hope Y'shtola shows up in Kingdom Hearts III

I don't like cash shop exclusivity for one. I recall Yoshi-P once saying it would only have the fantasias and my sister and I saw even back in 1.0 during that live letter that it would progress into more and more items.
Another thing I don't like is Cid's gear is gender specific so if you're not a guy you can't use it.

The only thing you bought with extra money during 1.0 were character slots (3$/month each, even the first character slot)

And yes, Cid is a guy, too ^^
