Put the Chinese dress as a in game reward

Remake FFXIV once again and give me a 4K experience with everything it deserves (as in beautiful character models with lush physics) and then SE might justify those ridiculous prices on the Mog Shop!...

If you're expecting that, at any time, do not expect it for free.

You think these threads are irritating? Wait until December and the shit-storm threads of people complaining the Odin emote is "walled" behind a "worthless" statue.

Lol I got some salt for you, I'm buying it for the statue. Its going to look outstanding on my desk at work. Bonus points for a mortuary worker to have the God of Death & Wipes on his desk.

The level of detail justifies the price of the statue. This dress does not.

I don't know what's worse:

People so willing to throw money at SE for fake items that have zero value in the real world or,

People being gouged by SE and not caring/failing to see it/actually okay with it.

There really is a sucker born every minute.

You're not going to get anywhere by insulting anyone, best to actually attack arguments rather than people if you're actually trying to convince anyone of anything. I don't feel the blame is on those who purchase it as it's their only option, but on SE and the people who continually ask for items to be made on the cash shop. I'm crossing my fingers that they don't throw out the lore and sell Garlean equipment on the cash shop, even though people have been begging for that.

As for digital items having zero value in the real world, that goes for almost everything digitally.

Value is always subjective. The folks who bought the glamour and enjoy it would argue otherwise with you on justifying their purchase. Keep in mind that this is just vanity goods. It's not a sin against humanity to have it at the price they do. It's easy to argue that $18 on this digital item has far greater lasting value than 2-3 beers at a sport event.

If they're going to be evil about that sort of thing, and make all future cash shop goods reflect such higher prices, there would be better room for argument, but it's still their decision. You don't have to like it, nor does anyone else, but the longer you continue playing the game, the less of a big deal it is to them. That's the down and dirty of it from a business stance.

This is extremely offensive to any and all 3D model creators and game devs. You're basically saying any work a dev puts into an outfit is not justified to cost anything but less than minimum wage... that's extremely rude...

........how does any of this you are saying justify the dress costing 18 dollars. Please do enlighten me on this.

I don't see why twist her words. It's pretty obvious that the statue has more details than the dress, and a statue actually costs to be produced in mass scale, while a virtual item such as the dress does not.
You can dislike the work of someone and think that it's not worth the price. People do it every time.
That doesn't mean you think that people shouldn't be paid (most of these artists are probably already paid, I doubt that a huge company like SE would comission an artist just for this dress or give % of each sale for the team that made it, very unlikely).

Is it so absurd to actually find that a dress that it's gender-locked, not account-wide and is more expensive than the subscription of the game itself not cool? Honestly? If you think that, you are a monster that think that people shouldn't be paid? LOL.
