Chinese/Korean servers : New exclusive mount

[ErikMynhier]

I'd like for them to add it in a quest. Say... where you collect 300 cloud fragments from various FATEs. With atma-like drop rates. Then turn them all in to an NPC so he can shove them together to make one giant cloud to ride.

Because these are third-party SE does not have the rights to these items in international and US/EU/JP law to just give it away in a quest. They cannot buy say the Cloud item and the rights outright. They have to buy it per generation so all a quest would do is cost them a fortune as SE still has to pay the Chinese group per cloud. The only way to open it up to us is if we as the players pay the fee, which we do by buying it from the mogstation. This is why in an earlier interview it was mentioned that non-XIV music like Crono Triggers would come in the mogstation if anywhere. Even though SE holds general rights, the various sub rights such as distribution, music, media rights and all may belong to individuals unwilling to share or that are no longer with SE

In instances such as the Youkai event the third-party was giving away the items, which the Chinese company has no desire to do. A basic understanding of copy right law goes a long way in explaining these things. Its not all "flip a switch" and "SE is greedy don't put it in the cash shop". Seriously you may want to look into things with a simple bit of google-fu before making arguments like that. Not necessarily the one I'm quoting but people in general. Several of the items in the mogstation have to be given in there as its illegal to hand them out and our only other free route (given as a bonus from a third-party company like Amazon) we proved we can't be trusted.
