Chinese costumes are out on Mogstation

[SessionZero]

The outrageous part is charging people for it, when we already pay a sub

It's extraneous content. You already get a game and shit to do with your sub. Items like the dress in no way affect your gaming experience, besides adding another glamour to your wardrobe. That's why it's extra.

Inb4 "well the content we get for our sub is already lackluster!" Cool opinion bro. Go play something else then.

Can we stop with this "you guys" nonsense? Evidently, the OP, myself and others were not among people who were offering Square a blank cheque for this outfit nor did everyone who wanted it all suggest they would. Just because we're not against the cash shop, doesn't mean we all will blindly throw money at it. Or shall I lump you into all my opinions about the game?

His point was more that people were telling SE how much they'd pay, meaning SE COULD have gone with the $30 that people said they'd pay for. But they didn't. They went with $18.

That would not be my response. My response is that a subscription should include everyything with it. I feel this is a shady business practice that I personally would not want to support - hence me removing my sub. For the actual content, I care little - it's principle of business practice.

That said, I care more for my lasting friendships with my friends in-game than I do about SE's shady business practices, or my $15 per month.

Okay, so would you rather pay a lower price per month for 95% of the content plus picking and choosing what you spend extra on every month for CS items that don't have any sort of tangible impact on your gaming experience, or a higher price per month for 100% of the content that you may or may not want/need? One way, you're only paying extra for what you want. The other, you're paying for everything you want, plus things you may not care about but Joe Blow over on Mateus is just dying to have.

My question is: Is it per character or Account wide?

Exactly. Everyone get so hyped about stuff and starts yelling at SE to put it on MogStation as a first option no matter the price. The first option should always be asking for it to be implemented ingame for free, because that's why we're paying subs for.
But like other people here said, first everyone freaks out because it's not on MogStation, then everyone freaks out because it is at the MogStation. Honestly I bet it would be the same reaction even if the outfits were $10.

Agree 100%

My question is... can it be dyed? The shiny coat it has is ugly.. sorry...

What we all want to know though, of course, is... will it blend?

The point in going with a subscription game rather than a F2P game is that it is ALL included. And yes, we do want to pay a higher per month cost rather than piecemeal costs. That's part of why we're on a game that already has us doing exactly that, paying $15 a month rather than the $0 that so many other games charge. That's an extra $15 every month for the sake of not having extras cost extra. If extras still cost extra anyway like they do in F2P games, then we're paying $15 a month for nothing.

It isn't actually included. Did you read your User Agreement?
