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

[Kaoru_Nagisa]

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

Well that's absolute crap, in all honesty.

Settie probably hit the mark about the 5.0 CE bonuses being one character only now too. Thanks SE! We hate it.

So, from what I can gather, item codes are now:

-Expires, but are account-wide

or

-Does not expire, but are single character.

Personally, I rather they stick to the does-not-expire model. I'm tired of exclusivity locked bonus items with merchandise. I hope they re-release the older items, too, like wind-up Dalamud and Wind-up Bahamut.

I want to believe this, but I don’t. I expect them to add in expiration periods later.

Prove me wrong SE!! Please?

Well. SE will certainly be getting a lot less of my money from physical merchandise now.

They're not mutually exclusive. Page 9 of this thread discusses this.

I wont buy any merchandise from their store anymore and if they do that to the collectors edition too then I will just buy the normal version..I am just sick and tired of all this greed..

I really hope that people will not fall for that and buy more than one item to have it all on their alts..because if they do they just show that they can get away with that. Vote with your wallet and just buy one please. :/ Who knows how far they will take that..

I've not been able to purchase the CE upgrade for Stormblood just yet despite enjoying the CEs specifically for the nice bonuses they give. But if 5.0's CE ends up being only for one character to claim the extra goodies... yeah, no. Not ever getting it. This is just becoming plain greedy and driving a wedge into any trust most of us still had for SE as a company.

Like I said before, gotta ask Yoshi-P directly or post on the Japanese forums for it to get noticed.

Simply a topic title being: "※本アイテムコードは、ご利用時に選択いただいた１キャラクターに対してのみ、インゲームアイテムが付与されます"

With links to the JP store pages. Then a comment of saying "Why is this happening?": なぜこうなった？

Should be enough to get a discussion going there. Unless there is a thread on the Japanese General Discussion going on now.

Once you do that, someone on the Japanese team will see it, and possibly comment on it.

Once that happens, THEN you'll see someone from the US Community Team make a post about it, which is just a translation post.

Remember the first artbook, Another Dawn & It's bonus Enterprise minion?
That code is still valid - https://twitter.com/Dirt_Muppet/stat...04373575643136

False information. As I still have the slip for it, I just retried it, it does NOT work. Didn't work in early 2017 when I first attempted, still does not work today.
