    Please put in 30th anniversary FFXIV previous DLC as well as other items

    There's a 30th anniversary for Final Fantasy coming this year in December.
    The pack has FFXIV and FFXIV DLC in it.

    For some of us serious minion collectors, we didn't get the chance to get the previous CD minions because they weren't available NA long enough. It's a great chance to make more money and satisfy some things folks are asking for.

    You'd definitely have even more pre-orders. And, the folks who already got them would feel satisfied since it would be a lot more money to pay for these things now than what they paid for them.

    Sincerely and with much love and adoration

    your eternal fans

    <- The real reason Yoshi-P stressed watching all the cutscenes.

    Matoya: And that should give you a notion of how sick and tired I was of those spineless wretches of the Forum. All talk and no trousers, that lot.

    Items that come with merchandise are never offered for sale on the Mogstation separately because it defeats the whole purpose of having such ingame items in the first place - they're there to encourage sales of the merchandise so that SE can break even on the expense of producing them, so if those items were later offered separately, it would affect the sales of merchandise (and I'm not being derogatory here, I actually like having items with merchandise, as it's a nice bonus for buying something like a soundtrack or artbook).

    Yes it's unfortunate that some items are now unattainable, but that's life is it not? There will always be situations where something is only available a short time and once it's gone, it's gone forever.

    As for the 30th Anniversary of FF, didn't SE already do a series-wide celebration a couple of months ago? (Online video with interviews with various SE staff talking about the series, it's past and possible future directions, including Yoshi). I think if SE were going to do a '30th Anniversary' event in game it would have already been announced by now. I guess though it's entirely possible this year's 'Rising' event in August (which celebrates FFXIV's rebirth from 1.0 into ARR) may have some extra connection to the 30th Anniversary. But that's just my own musings so take from that what you will.

    Except when Merchandise is not produced to meet market demand. That's a serious problem which I don't believe gets addressed all that much. I know people who'd shell out $200 for the Odin emote, forget the statue.

    I'd be totally ok with this, there is a massive difference between making an exclusive item made available through another exclusive means (especially one as relevant as this) and putting it on the mogstation

    Anything that was explicitly tied to a monetary purchase (1.0 legacy items, soundtrack minions, art book minions) should NEVER be made available outside of those original purchases, since the implication at time of purchasing them was that they would remain exclusive, which added to their original value. I know that I for one, would instantly refuse to ever buy another minion-bundled store item if they set a precedent of "just wait and you can buy the minion separately whenever", and I think that is the main thing SE wants to avoid.
