    Am I just imagining it... or was there a mention of the Chinese mount coming to our digital shores?
    Perhaps it was a 'If there is enough demand' type of comment but I just wanted to make sure...

    The Sun Wukong cloud mount. It's in the data files for our version of the game as of patch 3.5 so we should be seeing it soon.

    I got the first screenshots of the outfit in the game, I also confirm that all parts are dyeable!
    For the moment I do not have screenshots of other dyed parts (only the skirt) nor any photos of hyur/au ra female, as soon as I find some edit the post placing them







    Edit 1:
    Female miqo'te and dyed.

    As for the other comments about how SE works with releasing this content in other countries, I'm not ignoring it, it's just that other people have already answered it so I didn't see the need to do so.

    A short TLDR of how these games work in China and Korea would be this:

    -- SE still runs and owns the game, it is simply released into the market through a host company who has access to those markets.
    -- Host company requests some type of 'deal sweetener" to attract people to the product and increase their chance of profit (this is assumed on my part)
    -- The in-house development team for FFXIV creates the requested items
    -- Eventually a new exclusive comes out, and the old exclusives come over to the JPN/NA/EU version (this is assumed on my part)

    Common misconceptions about the Chinese and Korean game and exclusives:

    -- That they get all their items for free. They do not. A lot of the items we get in our Cash Shop were only available in their Cash shop as well.
    -- That they do not have the Gold Saucer. It's been confirmed several times by people who play the Chinese version that they do, in fact, have the Gold Saucer.
    -- That they have less content than we do. This is a 'kinda' type of thing. Because these versions were released after our version of the game, they ARE a patch cycle behind but, to our knowledge are not missing any major items, story or event. They even have access to old 1.0 items.
    -- That there is a separate development/art team for these versions. There isn't.
