About the EU campaign for maid outfit and fat chocobo

[TiaHariberux3]

Hope next time have two options in same times:

- Amazon
- big video games stores ( gamestop, micromania etc.)

For all countries and not with a big difference of date.

To be fair thats how promotions works so pls no cash shop. Also they probably didnt found the right business partner for the deals in italy and apain.

For some reason I'm not surprised.

I still don't understand why SE can't just add the outfit to the MogStation, so everyone can have it, and not only the people who lives in the developed world.

Would defeat the purpose of a promotion + you could always ask a friend etc.

Assuming the Netherlands wont get the promotion since Germany is the last.
Adding the outfit to the Mogstation would be awesome. If I remember correctly China has it in mogstation, why can't we?

Hello everyone,

A while ago we announced that we’d try to bring the in-game item campaign to a number of European countries, among them Spain and Italy. With the addition of the new Gamestop campaign for Germany today, we have covered most of them – unfortunately, due to a number of circumstances and despite our best efforts, we were unable to bring the campaign to Italy and Spain in the end. We’re extremely sorry for letting the players in those regions down. We know that the campaigns were a much debated topic within the community, and will take all feedback and experiences gained into consideration for any future campaigns. Please accept our sincere apologies.

Can you confirm about gamestop that ANY product(s) you buy from them over 19.99€ will make you eligible to receive the promo codes, or is it limited to the Square Enix products line?
Because the thread in reddit mentiones that only the second option gives the codes out.

And it's pretty bad that the codes from there also are only valid until the 31th of December.

This.

As a UK player I am still unable to acquire the promotion items simply due to how awkward and contrived the UK version happened to be. I purchased one of the three magazines required for the promotion and it did not come with a code. Nor did I receive one upon contacting the company running the promotion either. So as a consequence I did not purchase the other two magazines. I figured that the other European countries would have something better and more accessible.

Sadly I was wrong. American and Japanese players had a very smooth and clean promotion. It baffles me that Europe did not - especially when there's a bunch of large companies operating throughout Europe who I imagine would be very eager to do a promotion with FFXIV. Starbucks, Amazon and McDonalds spring to mind as rough examples.

It really should just be added to the Mog Station for around the same price as the promotion items cost or a little more. Many players had no fair chance to obtain the items - making it less a promotion and more of a lottery.

I'm not a frequent forumer, but I was kinda hopeful for this campaign hitting Germany, as I'm from Poland. I was so happy when Amazon.de went with polish language settings and shipping to Poland doesn't cost arm and leg anymore. And you guys went with gamestop... I'm just sad atm, and my sadness only grows when I look at ebay prices, as I have no one to even ask for help getting the codes. Welp, not an end of the world but it will leave me bitter for 3 weeks.

That's true!
I hate Gamestop for my live but you took Gamestop as a partner.
JESUS WHY NOT AMAZON LIKE THE FRENCH CAMPAIGN.

I'm very sad that I have to buy something from this f**ng company -.-

Gamestop was just the worst choice, even when living in Germany. You can't order online without a Credit card or PayPal, and the real stores are so sparse around here, you'd have to drive for hours. This promotion really soured my love for SE.

If the Spain promo isn't going to happen, what's the alternative for us Spanish players then? ;___;
So far the other promos I've seen are either from homepages in languages I don't understand (and that will likely not send items outside their own countries), and an English page that definitely didn't mail items to foreign countries.
Basically, we simply can't have these items? There's nothing we can do other than buying them overpriced from scalpers at e-bay?

SE. My tone might not be so nice at this moment, but I need to ask this.
Where is the promotion for the Netherlands? According to someone, the Power Unlimited magazine has only the mask and the MGP codes.
Come on, don't leave my country hanging like other companies do!

Please, we need some clarification. Don't leave the Netherlands laying in the dark, please!
