Carbuncle mounts have arrived!

[Kingmanath]

Is the song an exclusivity from CS or was it IG before ?

[LastFireAce]

Here we go... the complains

[Sunako]

Buffing summoners was actually the trick so more ppl would buy the mount.

Couldnt say if any better myself. I love FF but they have started being no better that the EA or Activision. The increase in outfits, emotes and recycled seasonal items is appalling and all this from a company that still wants you to pay for your space in-game. Some free to plays dont even ask you to do that! Its becoming apparent that SE is getting greedy af...$18 for an outfit? I could get 3 outfits in Warframe with change to spare and its a F2p.

Here's some more comparisons!

GW2 would give you two outfits for that price. F2P game with two expansions ($29.99 each or 49.99 for a bundle of both)
Wilstar would give you two as well. F2P game.
Both games have their costumes account-bound and immediately stored in systems that don't clutter your inventory.
Oh and both have abilities to earn their cash shop content by either trading in game currency (to reduce inflation) or by simply playing the game!
AND on top of all that you can access your content, bought or earned, any time you want with no extra fees!


Oh and you're selling warframe a bit short. $15 can get you 6 immortal skins or 2 tenno suit sets.


With the dungeons being cut from every other major content update, and the servers being moved from one bad spot to another slightly different bad spot, I'm really wondering why xiv seems to cost so much to play....

The fact that you're comparing the optional items sold in the mogstation, to companies that are using lootboxes, is just hilarious. Do I think the prices could be a little lower? Sure, or perhaps the same price and getting both Emerald and Topaz versions. Is the mogstation anywhere near EA/Activision levels of greed? Not really. At least in the mogstation, you know what you're getting, instead of gambling for it.

But this is Final Fantasy and you either pay for what you want in the cash shop or you go without. Price be damned.
Price isn't going to stop those who want to get the items and that's the simple truth. Also, yes, those are F2P games.
Which means they don't get the same kind of care and updates that a subscription game would.
Which also means they need to do more to entice players so they can compete with subscription based games.

Edit
Also you sound incredibly bitter. Why are you playing if you're so unhappy?

[BillyKaplan]

Pretty disappointed with the decision to put these in mogstation. People are starved for content rn and SE goes and puts this stuff on mogstation lmao

Where would they have put it? Behind a quest or new game mode that would have taken time and resources to develop and therefore wouldn't have been here until 4.2 at the earliest anyway? The problem is we still don't have a relic weapon to grind for but I doubt these had anything to do with it

[Qojon]

I want this instead.

You haven't heard? The guys who made those mounts are the very same who do everything else in the game.

[Dustytome]

Very pretty, but even the sale prices are more than I'd spend IF the items like the mounts/outfits were account wide for a digital accessory. $8 for an account wide mount is the most I'd be willing to part with.
