About the EU campaign for maid outfit and fat chocobo

Honestly, I'm genuinely curious as to why they chose a print magazine for this.

Were any other avenues even explored? Here in the UK at least, there's GAME, which is still a high street name and still commands a fair amount of footfall daily. Was a campaign similar to the Amazon deal for those just not viable?

What about UK-based sites such as Zavvi or Green Man Gaming? Or hell, even a Humble Bundle promotion? I don't know, I'm just spitballing; it's just really odd to me - even now - that the best they could possibly come up with was a dying medium.

I suppose we'll never know since companies rarely admit to their mistakes and if they do it's laced with honeyed words for the sake of PR. As a collector I really want the items to add to my collection - but I fear I'll be forced to miss out on them unless the other EU promotions are more easily accessible. Splitting it into three parts is just such an utterly baffling thing to do. Neither NA or Japanese players had to endure that. I just hope this issue is acknowledged in the next Live Letter because if it isn't then that will simply give the impression that EU players are a low priority.

Aren't we second rate gamers in their eyes? Just look at how they treat the promotion here as a botch job where they try to slap things together and don't really care about it. Soon I will loose interested in the itesm all together and might spend my money on some other game instead.
