About the EU campaign for maid outfit and fat chocobo

[Serilda]

Sure glad that lessons have been learned about releasing the bonuses (and information) globally. Thanks in advance for the six months of seeing everyone else on my server enjoying the new items while I am still waiting for the campaign to be revealed - which will no doubt somehow still be too late for people in the randomly-selected 'wrong' countries to prepare a method to obtain them. Argh.

I'm reluctant to be optimistic. It's limited to Japan at the moment and I'm guessing they will tackle North America after that...and then eventually get around to Europe. Even then, if they haven't resolved the problems that existed with the original campaign then we'll still be stuck with people waiting around for excessive periods of time and potentially being screwed over again.

A lot of European players are located on North American servers like Balmung - in my case it's because that is where my friends are and it's the biggest hub for role-players. I had many American friends who offered me codes throughout the North American campaign and yet because my account is flagged as European I could not use them.

So, yeah - adding them to the Mog Station for European players would be preferable for me.

The last set started out exactly this way, with a Japan only release at 7/11. Butterfly on a wheel. =(

[Hirskuwil]

It's annoying as I live in Japan so could actually take part in the campaign, but I have a European account so I will have to wait for them to (hopefully) release it there. Just hoping that ifwhen they do release it elsewhere they have a better campaign than last time.

[Korihu]

Oh boy am I excited to have to wait ages to maybe get a campaign where I live that is probably going to not be good at all.



Honestly I just hope the Americans get something lousy instead of Amazon so they can suffer like we had to.

Because us Americans were specifically polled as to what should be done with the EU campaign, right? "That guy across the street just kicked my dog, I hope the person next to me gets punched for it!"

I hope ya'll manage to get a good campaign this time around if they do a global one. Maybe they'll reach out to the EU branch of Amazon or some other more widespread store. Fingers crossed for the lot of you.

[Theodric]

Yeah, there's no need to hope for it to be handled poorly in a different region just because we Europeans got screwed over. With that said the lack of any communication makes me extremely wary. I have my doubts that the feedback gathered in this thread was handed to Yoshi-P. I feel like he genuinely cares about the game and community to the extent that he'd likely not tolerate something like this so it could be possible that he hasn't been made aware of the disaster. I hope I don't get into trouble for posting this, but it feels like the legitimate complaints were brushed under the rug, possibly for the sake of someone hiding that they handled things poorly to the extent that they could lose their job.

After all, any feedback gained from the English forums would need to be translated into Japanese and one would think that something as major as this would be brought up during a Live Letter or even Fan Fest. It wasn't, though - and now there's another campaign with nothing in the way of a reassurance that European players will not be screwed over once again. Still, hopefully it is just me being cynical and paranoid and we'll get a response in this thread to alleviate concerns. Many of us have continued to post here periodically for...well, however many months this thread has existed. It'd be very good to see a scenario where European players can easily gain access to the promotion items.

[Korihu]

Yes, sorry that was uncalled from for me. I guess I'm just really bitter, especially where my old FC were publicly discussing and telling people to just cancel orders and told me I was being paranoid when I told them that they would ruin it for the EU players. Then while they were strutting around on a fat chocobo that they shouldn't have rightfully gotten I was stuck waiting and waiting and waiting until an event that is trash became available.

[RosaLunaCelestia]

Next compaign looks like another outfit and another mount :/ idk if is really official :/

[Sakuraluna]

I would like an official response on if this is real and what it means for NA/EU players in terms of these items being made available to the rest of us.
