The Emporer's New Clothes (New Chinese Exclusive Items)

[Chiramu]

There are so many F2P Chinese MMOs out there, with so many pretty clothes. I think that is why Square gives nice things to the Chinese community.

Does China not understand what The Emperor's New Clothes even are?

I don't think you understand either.

The Emperor's New Clothes = nudity.

Besides, Korea and China have both been getting region exclusives relative to their cultures regularly. We have not.

It's important to note that China (and I believe Korea too) has their game published by a different company and that's a lot of why they get to have things like that made by / for their teams. Their patches are also significantly behind ours last i looked (and as a result none of their servers are shared with NA/EU/JP).

SE should still give us exclusives if the others continue to get them. Even Japan got the maid/butler outfits before we did, straight from SE, with NA/EU as an afterthought. We should get our own first dibs/exclusives on certain things to, if for nothing else then as a thank you for being long time supporters of the game. Longer than Korea and China have been.

It's clear you have no idea how licensing works. The event that included the maid/butler outfits was a 7/11 promotion if I remember right, and part of the terms of that agreement almost certainly included exclusivity for its duration.

The victim complex doesn't really help things, it kind of just makes you sound whiny.

SE agreed to do the promotion despite it being unfair to players around the world.

It's clear you have no intent to listen to any argument outside of the one in your head though, so good day.

Of course they did. It was still a good business decision, as it promotes the game (as a promotion should). I don't know why that would be surprising.

A good business decision, sure. But at the price of excluding a huge chunk of your playerbase. It's wrong, unfair, and if done too much, can really upset the people who are being excluded (and possibly affect profit as a result).

Just imagine how much more money they could've made if the promotion had been in multiple countries too? Sure, they ended up getting the outfits to other countries in the end, but if anything that's even more unfair. Because it goes to show who their first priority is (Japan, not NA/EU). Not the only way they show a strong preference for Japan either.

Too much exclusivities with SE in this moment :/
