Wind-up Yotsuyu minion will be for one character only!

Well that's so you can spread out your purchases to cover all your alts.

Along with the single character change, there is (for now) no expiration date for the bonus code.

This was already brought up before. There are some account-wide codes that don't have an expiration either. They're not a mutually-exclusive thing.

My apologies, but based on previous bonus artbook minion codes those all expired. If we're basing it off of previous standard operations, then this is a change, no?

I'm not saying it's a good thing, but pointing out that it's another indication of what they're planning.

Here's the two products that don't expire, instead they have a disclaimer on the product itself that any date could be added.
The Wind-Up Hraesvelgr minion with the Scars of War artbook
Wind-up Nidhogg from the Far Edge of Fate OST

It's not really a related thing, whereas you made it sound like one affected the other. Being able to extend the expiration date isn't nearly as (if at all) anti-consumer as to what the focus of the thread is; which is the change from account distribution to single character distribution.

Soooo, what's next?
I guess the 5.0 expansion Collectors Edition stuff will be for only one character, too?

Why stop at just the stuff? Why not the whole expansion! :P

I apologize, I didn't realize that was the case since I typically just input the code asap. These threads about the Symphony BD and this were how I found out that they started to make this type of change.

My intent in commenting on it wasn't to state that they were caused by each other but that it looked like it was an indication of how the company wanted to start distributing these bonus item codes. No expirations, make them for single characters. Possible way to differentiate a bonus code minion from purchasing from the mogstation (mogstation minions are account-wide right? I know some mounts are not and those that are account-wide are more expensive.)

Easy there, Satan!

NA page got ninja updated too.

Got a reply from SE support, but it's not good news and implies all future bonus items will also be one character only:
