Chinese costumes are out on Mogstation

~The dress makes me look pregnant from the side. Probably wont be buying it. :|

Yes, yes, <_< the dress does make you look fat.

That would somewhat explain the pricing.

Exp bonus under lvl 50 would explain the pricing.

Many people who complained for months, including myself, specifically said not to add it to the MogStation.

The problem, I guess, is that more people in that thread said they would pay for it. The demand was clearly there, so SE released it as a purchasable item. Now all the people who cried out that it should be in game are getting louder, while those who requested it are modeling it in game.

As an aside, the dress on the first post of that other thread is 10x better looking than the dress they implemented =(

Exactly. We are drowned out by the people throwing cash

My only problem is I wanted the Korean dress much more than the Chinese.

Korean dress? Can someone post a photo of it?!
I've only been aware of the Chinese dress.

Clearest image I can find of the Korean gear, and it is dyable.

so SE released it as a purchasable item.

It's unfortunately not as simple as SE deciding to release it. It's content that was exclusively designed for a specific region and thus held claim over it in its entirety. Due to the large demand for it, there was more than likely a push for negotiations to claim shared rights, however something like that does not come free, and if it's seen as desirable, does not come cheap. So this is not something they could have released for free without detriment. This is the catch when it comes to fighting for content exclusive to one place or another.

Who exactly has rights in the region? I would assume SE has those rights, and then can make whatever decision they want?

Well, SE doesn't handle distribution or anything like that in the region, it's a different company that does that, so it's possible they hold the rights to the items. A scenario where SE had to pay to release the exclusive items in the other regions is not only possible, it's plausible, which would account for the price hike.

I see, interesting. That definitely changes things.

Is this something we know (That SE doesn't hold the rights in the region, and that some other company does), or is it speculation?
