China is getting wings

[Morningstar1337]

Wings can be nice but I don't want to see them in FF honestly.

You're about 7 or so games too late for that, buddy.

I was thinking that... I dunno why people are upset that they've implemented the wings when, unless you're Chinese, you wont see them.
That being said... Can you log the Chinese mogstation and buy them for your character outside of China? I've never actually tried.

People are upset they implemented them because now everyone is gonna whine that there shouldn't be region exclusives. Those that don't want them don't want them and the ones who do are going to be annoying as hell with the whining. Then they will be put on the mogshop for inflated prices and then there will be more whining about the price even though they demanded it come to the west.

Ignorant whining, at that. The dress marks up as the same price as what the Chinese had to pay, lol.

They're gonna whine whether there are items in the store or not though, these wings aren't anything new. Every other post is whining, that's what a forum is for. :P

Someone uploaded a video of the outfits

Doesn't look that bad TBH, still not buying it though.

I'm glad it's part of the chest piece. For a moment, I thought there was now a cosmetic slot. I was afraid ffxiv was going to turn crazy tacky with flame wings, bat wings, etc if it makes it over here. I can't remember which mmo, but I remember seeing screenshot a f2p mmo with everyone having crazy wings loitering in town.

Im paying a subscription to avoid this kind of ugly F2P stuff...

I don't think they are gonna add a cosmetic slot like that Just for China, that is as much a technical thing as egi-glamours.

Also The ship has already sailed with the i110 NIN gear (AKA one of my glamours :P)

So far its very limited, the two outfits and the aforementioned PvP gear aside the only other Gearsets with wings at all are the Dreadwyrm Gear. Now How many people use that gear for Glamour nowadays (dyable or otherwise)? Likely not enought for them to be a common sight beyond the first few weeks of "look what I just got!" that most new gear goes though anyway.

You do bring up a point on the subscription. But I think not even sub games are immune to having the cosmetic aspects of f2p games. Espeiclay considering the other alledged staples like glowing weapons and mounts are already in the game (and I think WoW as well)

BTW There is something I'm curious about. Do the outfits come with the chocobo bardings? That might be an easier way to justify an 18$ price tag (espeiclay given the precidence of buying 15$ on the cosplay gear just for the hair :P)

It's probably separate, the Chinese dress and barding, etc were all separate entities.

Wings for EU/NA too? Sure, why not. But I'd like a 'Hide other players glamour' button with that.

Aion is the only game so far that did wings right: They look really good, there are actual game mechanics related to them (as in flying and aerial combat) and most importantly they are hidden most of the time.
