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

[Chiramu]

lol good luck Oh'boy! until now most stores dosent have this dr peppers cans with the FF14 promo.
its nearly impossible to find a store that has dr pepper cans with the FF14 promo, all the stores carry only the old cans without the promo but nobody drinks dr pepper in german, so the stores says until our old can not sold we dont order new one. xD

Nobody is getting the items for free. They all have to buy some stuff, either from Amazon, drinks or useless Magazines.
And if they put the Items in the Mog-Station they better make the Items Account-wide as they are from the promo.

If you buy a product at its normal price and get digital items as a bonus, those digital items are a freebie. I paid 20 € for a Steam currency card (20 € value) to get the maid outfit, then I got to spend those 20 € again on Steam. That means I didn't spend any money on the actual maid outfit. That's different than spending money on Mog Station where you get no other goods, would you not agree? I would even be happy with buying Dr. Pepper or ordering something from Amazon but there is no promotion in my country yet.

I was, and still am, annoyed by the suggestion to stop further promotions, when we already know the items are coming to Mog Station in the end. SE has promised it in a previous thread. You're already going to get what you want so there's no reason other than impatience to deny other people a chance to take part in these promotions.

Maybe I'm a little bit slow. To me it sounds like as if you wouldn't have paid money to get any of these Items, you wouldn't have had a chance to get these Items.
So in my opinion they are far from " for free". To me the Items would be for free if we could get them Ingame from an Event for example.
Anyway. I do not deny other people to have the chance to take part in the promotion.
I just don't get it why you would like to get them from the Promo. I can understand why people wanted the Lightning Event to get the Lightning stuff. Because they (and myself) could have had the chance to meet Lightning in FFXIV.
But a Promo where you have to buy junk to get cool Items....
Like I said, I don't get it.

Sorry but no, I don't want a consolation price of being allowed to spend money on items

Well if you only had to buy something from Amazon that you already wanted and got it as an extra it kinda was for free. But with the Dr. Pepper campaign (as an example) you need to buy 24 cans of a drink that lots of people dont even drink. At least after reading in the big thread, it seems that lots of supermarkets dont stock on it or are not selling it that often. (I never heard them before that campaign) So if you need to buy something that you dont even plan to use or do not even like then its not truly for free because you are only buying it for the codes. Also if its not something you can buy online you will have to go around to find it too. This costs even more time and money.

So them being in the mog station would at least make this a simple buy. Heck since its digital only they could then make it cheaper. The problem IMO is, that nobody truly knows if there is ever a campaign for them or if all of the items will truly be in the mogry station. (And when)

I'm with O2 and can do the UK promotion, thankfully. However at first glance, it doesn't look bad. I think all you have to do is order a free pay as you go sim card. Top up only £5 to activate it(could be £10), then forget about it. Pretty sure that's better than future mog station.

It's horrible. Still nothing else for EU people, and others are reselling the codes for over 130€+ on Ebay.

The bad thing about Mog Station is that they'll release it late, maybe in a year, sadly.

I just don't get it why you would like to get them from the Promo.

If the mount+outfit is 20€ on the Mog Station, and a promotion offers the items along with 20€ worth of Dr. Pepper (which I drink), which one is a better deal? I don't get what is difficult to understand about that. These are made up prices but in any case buying something tasty or useful at its normal price and getting something desirable on top of it is a good deal.

So them being in the mog station would at least make this a simple buy. Heck since its digital only they could then make it cheaper. The problem IMO is, that nobody truly knows if there is ever a campaign for them or if all of the items will truly be in the mogry station.

Everything I've said has been in reference to people thinking that promotions should be stopped and thus that option denied from everyone whose country hasn't had one yet. Stopping promotions accomplishes nothing because them and Mog Station are not mutually exclusive. Further promotions will have zero impact on the people who can't or don't want to utilize them, because we already know the items will be sold on the Mog Station.

Hello

There's been a lot of talk regarding the North American and Japanese promotional campaigns. We are working to setup campaigns in PAL regions with the new in-game items. They will also be available for purchase on the Mog Station at a later date. We will share more information as soon as it becomes available.

Please note that the North American and Japanese item codes won’t work on EU accounts.

I thought the 02 event is for the maid/butler promotion and not the Far Eastern promotion?

Actually, there appears to be four promotions, but you are right, it is the Maid/Butler/Fat Chocobo promo, and not the Far Eastern one.

Well the problem with the quote: they are only talking about the new ingame items thus we dont know if the butler and maid set will come to the mog station. So it would be nice to get an official response on that because people already waited enough time to get their hands on those items. (Yet somehow they suddenly introduce the old items in a new UK campaign. So does that mean they will get more campaigns for those items too? Or are people going to wait for nothing again?)
