YoshiP No more Region Exclusive Items, Please.

[KaitlanKela]

My major problem with this whole thread is this.

I don't need them to spend more dev time on glamour. And I like glamour! But there are PLENTY of glamour choices and as more gear is added we'll get even more. There's already exponentially many combinations of glamour.

But we get two dungeons a patch.

How much dev time would it take to localize glamour? The data for it already exists, so I'd think the only complications would be licensing and making it available.

We get two dungeons a patch because they decided to phase one dungeon out to make way for new content like Diadem, Aquapolis and Palace of the Dead. If you've an issue with how Devs are spending their time, consider the fact that these items already exist. Developers have already spent time making them, and they are being given to only a handful of players on one verison of the game.

Come on! Don't fool me this Butler Chocobo Barding is part of Chinese culture, this is 100% the Blue Blood of European. How dare you SE locked it away from our EU/NA players!

Its not really time and money to localize as mucg as time and money to negotiate the rights to the content which through their current agreement allows the Chinese and Korean companies to create this exclusive content and own said content.


That said SE should have had the forsight to see this situation and insisted that they have joint-usage rights of content developed by a 3rd party on their platform. I don't blame YP for this. I blame SE's legal department.

Indeed, I don't blame any of this on YoshiP for sure, in fact my intention is hopefully bring this to his attention since I believe it was YoshiP whom asked us, during a live letter, to provide feedback regarding region exclusive items and our stances on them.

However, there is one thing I would like to point out. The Chinese and Korean companies do not create these items. All of these items are created by the JP Development and Art team, of which only one exists, unlike the various service and localization teams.

The only thing wrong with the thread is, I found out there is a nimbus cloud I'm not flying on everyday

[Mugiawara]

Because perception dictates companies will be more willing to give you want you want if you offer what they want (i.e. your money).

I was being rhetorical but thanks for the insight.
What I really meant was, stop doing it.
The shxt's already IN the game anyways.
It makes no sense? O_o
PS. Glamour is true end game. How they gonna lock us from that!? Lol.

Sorry, you're not going to convince me because I'm not of the opinion that everyone automatically has a right to everything. They choose to license exclusive stuff to one region and I'm confident it's for a business-oriented reason. You choose to play they game, you are subject to the business decisions SE makes. They wouldn't do it if it didn't make them money, and unless they charged for it giving it to you is not going to make them more money either. What I pay for when I play is content: real content, not excess glamour when we already have plenty. And I'd never pay for glamour either so there's that.

and even 1.0 items are all obtainable either through their Cash Shop or via daily quests.

Omg, my jealousy increases. AND THEY GET DQ10.
