Where is the Far Eastern promotion for the rest of Europe?

As a German who could try to hunt down Dr Pepper cans for the items I'd have to agree with just putting the items on the mog station already.
These staggered promotions are a mess with people unsure when their corner of Europe will get a promotion, if at all, and through what hoops they'll have to jump.
It would've been one thing if all of Europe got their promotions at the same time or at least could expect to have all promotions be roughly the same.
Neither of these are the case as shown by the Dr Pepper promo for Germany, the O2 promo for UK suddenly bringing back the maid and butler outfit when everyone expects to hear more about the Journey to the West inspired items and the deafening silence for the rest of Europe.

I seriously don't get why we couldn't have gotten an Amazon promotion for all of Europe, they are dealing with most of Europe are they not?

Just put the items on the mog station or give us a date when they will be available on the mog station if you want to wait for the promotions to run their course, it would end the uncertainty and give people some peace of mind. "Soon" is not going to cut it.

*goes back to waiting for the hypothetical Amazon.fr surprise promotion*

the O2 promo for UK

The O2 promo wasn't for the far eastern stuff, it was a repeat of the maid/butler promo

My bad, I'll edit my post accordingly.

I wouldn't like that, as the Netherlands don't have their own Amazon and we're not exactly a poor country or anything. xP

But yeah, the scattered promo's aren't very good. Here in the NL our primary gaming magazine started with the promo's but cut off after one issue. I'm not sure why (and frankly, I think they made a bad business decision on that one), but it left us with only being able to get the Ifrit mask and aetheryte tickets... yaaaaay. xD

I think the problem we're having is that SE is approaching this with "it's many different countries" in their mindset, while in the game we guys playing on EU don't really have or consider geographical borders much of a thing. I am sure it's a bit more complicated than that as they're probably dealing with bureaucracy of the individual countries. Still I think SE should see if they can keep the earlier mentioned aspect in mind because if they keep releasing localised promo's like this, they're kinda helping in highlighting differences between EU players, rather than fostering unity. The "us vs them" feelings, petty as they may be, will have something to latch onto so to speak.
