About the EU campaign for maid outfit and fat chocobo

All you've told me is you live in an isolate location that is "prone" to lost postage. I wasn't being rude or ignorant, I was understating the situation...

They could of done a promo for one of there mobile games. Brave exvius came out recently and it has a cash shop, would of made more sense to link it to that than a magazine nobody wants or will struggle to get.

I'd love to participate in the promo if I could.

I guess it's weighing the cost & effort to participate against the reward.

I'm hoping the other countries' promos can have:

1) Broader range of products to purchase (instead of a single physical magazine title)
- Caters to different player needs better

2) Accessibility
- Enables more players to participate

3) Sufficient stock availability for demand (with regards to the player-base with EU accounts)
- Minimises disappointment for players able to participate


I think we all can (should?) recognise it's certainly not simple to meet all those ideally. It needs finding a partner with that kind of reach, product-range, supply and distribution platform.

In the end, it is what it is (for JP, NA and UK); and it'll be what it'll be (for upcoming countries). Nothing apocalyptic one way or the other. Just a sad or happy panda (i.e. me).


On a related note, it might be worth considering that Mogstation-ing the items directly may still not be on par with the JP and NA promos. It's buying items directly vs as a bonus for purchasing products. I understand it's ok for some and it won't be for others. But that's like describing practically every decision that impacts a not small population isn't it?

kinda curious if anyone knows how a "provider" gets the rights to the promotion? Clearly its not the same outlets by region so i am curious how they are chosen region by region? Guess what i mean is, did any other source within the UK just say "we don't want it"? >.> Guess im mostly curious cuz of the no man sky incident and that one company that wouldn't let them use the word "sky" lol, seems like a tough place to do business with.

The reality is you are being given an OPTION. Not mandatory, OPTIONAL. The value is exactly the same, the method is not. Otherwise no one in EU would have had the opportunity to get the rewards.

3 groups got this option, and these hoops the 3rd group have to jump through for it are drastically different and overall terrible. So yeah people are going to complain about it.

You have to remember it is PART of the third group as well... people act as if it's the only set of hoops they have to jump through, yet it's not, it's been stated it's not.

I agree with the point that the Promotion is a huge screw up. The wait time as well as the company are just horrendrous and nobody wants to go through all of this. Hell, I live in Austria and never even heard of the Magazine or the company before. Researching their stuff brings up some really shady things.

That note aside, can people please learn the difference between EU as in Europe and EU as in European Union? The amounts of "lol UK doesn't even belong to EU hurr durr" in this thread is ridiculous

Added a summary of the complaints regarding the campaign. Please tell me if I have missed anything.

Much appreciated! Thanks for starting the thread and keeping track of it.

Think at this point best SE can try to do is "stop" the UK promotion and wait till there is a better "option", idk what that would mean legally though and would prolly make the UK the last place to get the items since i am guessing other regions are already in the works.
