YoshiP No more Region Exclusive Items, Please.

[Taban]

What?

A majority of mounts and glamour are locked behind raids or otherwise not quite casual friendly means. Unsynced pony farms and farming material for Allagan gear is still too hard for the casual gamer or something.

pony farms are pretty easily doable for casuals at this point, by far my coolest mount imo is fenrir and that doesn't require stepping foot into a raid. There's plenty to do as a casual if you're just looking for fun glamour stuff, but locking it to specific regions just discourages those who see something they really like from playing when it's impossible for them to get.

You're right, they should make samurai a japan only class since that fits in with their lore much better than it does with the NA lore. I've seen the light /s

No taban we have alittle respect for other people culture and they region and realize that Chinese player-base maybe different for are. so they desire different. I think are player-base has gone to far demand other player-base special items. should I demand they remove emote Huzzah because it has historical base for my religious of christian Hosanna mean god saved. early English was gutter language mind you

I feel like pointing out two things

• That Cloud Mount came from a Chinese legend. NOT Dragonball Z. It is perfectly appropriate for it be in the Chinese version
• If what other people are saying is true then there are certain events that would not fly in China because of Draconian censorship laws going as far back as the Cold War. (I'm gonna say at the most extreme case, everything but the Heavensturn event, The Rising and Make it Rain, an at best? likely just All Saint's Wake, Moonfire Faire and possibly crossover events) It is likely that those events in turn would be exclusive to the non-Chinese versions.

If SE wants to make them available to players in all regions, great. But remember that they didn't come about just to spite players in other regions. Same goes for Korea.


Now that that is outta the way. I am curious as to see what does China's cash shop have besides the P2W junk.

I mean your argument is that China should only get the chinese items because of culture...so why shouldn't we lock huzzah using that same logic? You're kind of making my point for me, it would be dumb for them to lock huzzah and its dumb for them to lock the other content. I'm all for them spending dev time to make content that appeals to specific regions, I just want those things to be available for everyone.

Finally, a better point of logical opposition. I think sometimes we fail to realize that a lot of the things we have in the Western version of this game are region-exclusive compared to places like China, whose censorship policies go to the point of having to completely rework multiple storylines just to get it sold over there.

As for Korea, they're actually fairly lax when it comes to gaming censorship standards. Even Korean-made games such as Blade and Soul have elements censored in their Western versions. That being said, my guess is any Korean censorship in FFXIV would be more toward any Japanese-originated concepts (like Ninja), which probably got reworked with name swaps or something along those lines.

In the end, I think these region-exclusives are a means of ensuring every region gets an equal amount of stuff, which brings about the possibility that some regions like ours are potentially getting punished for the censorship policies of other regions, and it's because of that thought that is why I approve of the OP's request.
