Will there be more attire of Story NPC via Mog Station?

Guess you can say we are just buying the NPC's left over clothing they kept in their Magic Gear Box. Se got to get their Supply from somewhere

On another topic:
I think the reason why Biggs, Wedge, and Urianger did not get new outfits is due to no real need for them to change their looks.

The only real guess I have is that SE may only release NPC outfits once a certain amount of time has passed enough so their outfit no longer needs to be considered unique to NPCs only or their old outfits get replaced so they have keep the NPC's old outfits relevent some how.

We pay a sub, we shouldn't have a cash shop....Please stop trying to justify this.

Would you rather have the items or no extra items? I bet if there was no cash shop most those items available would not have been made available to us.

Pure conjecture with no evidence to back it up where as on the other hand content is continually created for the subscription model and the lack of "Extra" content was never very apparant in other games that didn't feature the cash shop.

What's wrong with selling gear and extra items that do not affect your gameplay in any way for cash? Sorry for having a different opinion on this :/

By that same chain of thought, let's put every casual glamour, barding, dyes, minions and housing items in the mogstation, since they doesn't affect the gameplay.
To be honest I have no problems if SE follows the pattern for mogstation items such as NPC clothing. But I do have problems with the mindset "oh, it's just visual, so there's no problem with it".

Can't SE just introduce a NPC friendship system into the game so players can unlock the NPC's clothing once they reach Max Friendship.

That way people can have a means to obtain NPC Unique outfits while still requiring them to play the game along with the chance to interact with the NPC more directly so players can have a better understanding of their personality and life when they are not meeting each other under "business" tasks.

If the NPC is destined to die then the Friendship system would instead give the WoL a story covering their past to have a better understanding about them.

Can we do friendship with Ascians?

I understand your sentiment and I don't disagree with you, however, there comes a point where we have to make a pragmatic assessment of things. The cash shop and optional items are always going to be present in this game, it's never going to go away especially because it's a Square Enix game and that's how they roll. But honestly, so far Square Enix has shown a fair amount of restraint with their cash shop. Consider how easily they could have thrown everything so far (the region exclusive stuff such as the chinese version outfits/mount, the quest based cosmetic items, the minions, the Amazon DLC stuff, etc.) in to the cash shop and surprisingly they haven't. No one is surprised by that more than me since this is the same Square Enix that has been incredibly out of touch with it's audience, the same Square Enix that made Final Fantasy All the Bravest, and the same Square Enix that was shocked Bravely Default did as well as it did.

So this whole "get rid of the cash shop" and "stop asking for things to go in to it" sentiment is pointless since it's too late at this point and it's never going away. I don't rush to defend SE in anything, I never hesitate to condemn them for the stuff they pull, but in this particular instance they've actually shown a great deal of restraint by keeping a good portion of costumes/minions out of the cash shop and letting people earn them by completing content. Since we are never going to get rid of the cash shop and they will always be putting more items in there (seriously, stop posting about how they shouldn't, it's tiresome), I at least want it to have items people like/request and getting identical costumes to the various NPC's is definitely something I'm not surprised to see in a cash shop.

To clarify again, I strongly disagree with microtransactions in pay to play games, but as long as it's purely cosmetic and unobtrusive then I tolerate it. If you don't like it, speak with your wallet and don't buy things from it as I have. I have not spent any money in the cash shop as there is absolutely nothing in it that I want enough to actually drop some cash on it. I'm not so strapped for disposable income that if I wanted something I wouldn't be able to get it, there's nothing in it I could see myself spending money. But if they did by chance add Aymeric's outfit for example, I'd consider it, that might be something I'd buy, hard to say unless it's released.

I'd much rather have a quest involving crafting and farming drops and such then swipe my card and be done. I love working together with my friends and fc to do stuff that would be fun.

Ohhh forgive me for wanting content in a mmorg instead of buying it lol

Also apparently wanting a quest means farming for mgp. Have no idea how it went that direction lol

Asking for a quest is now the same as a "huge grind"..well, that's rad. I guess it's not possible to be innovative, such faith we have in our dev team here..

That's because a lot of stuff in the game is a grind. You said you'd prefer the costumes through crafting and farming drops which is a grind.

I think they could be innovative, and that it would be way better to get the NPCs whose costumes we want involved in a fun story line of quests.

Would love for them to be earned through in game quests rather than Mog Station

Seconding the in game quests. What's up with wanting everything in the cash shop?

Why does it always has to be through Mogstation with some people... Instead start asking to get those through quests in game instead of always wanting to pay more for stuff that would be better as rewards for side quests...

Because I would rather quest rewards be reserved for new items in lieu of cosplay gear. Not to mention, this isn't really something worth devoting resources towards.

It's because people believe SE will see people saying "i will pay money if you add this!" and then add it.

Also this. If we're being completely honest. You are far more likely to garner a company's attention if you're willing to pay for the content you want.
