Seven Eleven Japan Event - Exclusive items White Fat Chocobo and Maid/Butler Attires.

[Niqote]

Just an edit for the front page:

As time has passed, some comments and some questions have been answered and as such I would like to redirect this thread (That still gains replies even to today) to focus on the unanswered questions only.

Namely:

As a person not living in JP, NA or EU, that I am worried that those of us who are not in the 3 above mentioned Countries will not be able to obtain them at all.

But also draw focus to a request to not have region exclusives at all (See: Nimbus/Powerpole Chinese exclusive).
Yes we can wait for them to be distributed to all regions, but perhaps in the future; they could do a better job of communicating with us and assure us that everyone will have access, including the ever nervous pacific who still dont even know if we will be able to participate in the UK promotion for the Maid sets!

There are things with high duty fees and things with low duty fees. You just have to find something with low duty fees or something digital.
At this point, I'm happy we can even USE amazon.com to buy stuff, a few years back we couldn't at all.

Oh? Digital items are eligible for this promotion? Don't have an NA account myself, so I haven't kept myself too up-to-date, but last thing I heard was that you had to buy something that they'd actually ship to you. (And pre-orders, but I assume those are due to the "we will ship this to you. eventually" premise.) If digital items are eligible, then that's awesome and makes it a little bit better at least =)

Agreed. And while half of NA is served fine by amazon.com, the other half (Canada) have problems with it. Ideally, they should have made their NA campaign available from both amazon.com and amazon.ca.
For Europe? I assume it'll once more be an online shop the promotion will end up in, but... will it be a .uk shop? Or a .de? Or a .fr? (Those three being the languages/countries represented by the game client.) What about all the other countries? What about European countries not part of the EU, who thus aren't eligible to the relaxed import laws between European Union countries. What about non-European countries who aren't represented with separate account origins (Oceania, Africa, parts of Asia, etc) but use EU accounts because it's the best option they have?
I understand that it would be difficult for SE to accommodate all of them -- they couldn't even accommodate both of the NA countries, let alone all the South American countries -- but isn't that a clear reason why adding them to the Mogstation would be the best idea? ^^;

I'm not impossible. I can accept that it's difficult to change the method of distribution for these items, not only because their contract with JP 7-11 might have included some clause about that promotion being the only way for JP players to get those items.
But I would like to request from SE that they, in future promotion deals, make reservations when they sign promotion contracts that after X amount of time after the promotion's end, the promotion items will be made available via the Mogstation for all players. And, of course, that they rotate the initial region of the promotion (so, for example, next time the NA players will benefit from the initial promotion while other players will have to wait, and the time after that it's the EU players who'll get first dibs on the items) to avoid favoritism.
I'd also like to request that the time of "global release" be made known once the inital promotion is over. I.e. if Promotion Y was available between first and last of September, and the contract had specified that 4 months after the promotion end the items would be released for purchase on Mogstation, they would announce on October 1st that the items would be made available some time during February the next year. Sure, it'd be a long wait, but at least we'd know. It'd be better than sitting around, hoping they'd get around to it Soon(tm).

It started out as Physical only items, they have since added in digital items to the promotion.

Ah ^^ Thank you

The code only works for NA SqEn Accounts or for anyone playing in NA servers?
20$ is kinda expensive for me to pay so... I need to be sure and I don't want to waste my money ;_;

Only works for players with a NA account, the server does not matter.

Anyone with a NA service account, server does not matter, it goes by the account.

I would like to know when Canada was voted off the North American continent.

The code should work for all NA accounts, regardless where the player live. So long he play FF XIV with a NA account.
And I think Amazon.com also deliver outside of USA?

Issue being could end up paying more for import fees than item costs.

Well... It would've been way easier to share that campaign with both NA / EU accounts (wherever you live) at the same time (or not) with JP, with the same way to obtain the items. Now it's a real mess, we dont have any informations and we are getting impatient / uncertain :/
I hope that they will learn from this...
We all play FF XIV from different countries, and no one should be left behind :<

This promotion was not meant to go past the JP region. When the NA people saw the items they started petitioning Square Enix to bring the items to other regions. They are working on a EU promotion for the items.
