In-game Bonus Item Codes
Recently, players have noticed that the in-game bonus codes included with FFXIV-related merchandise have been character-specific rather than being account-wide. The reason is because there is a limit to the number of items that can be distributed service account wide, and it is currently difficult to increase this limit. We’ll continue looking into this moving forward, and will provide an update once we have progress.

But proceed to add 4 new items after the issue is brought up that are account wide. 2 Carbuncle mounts, Panda mount and the Shiva emote
Im sorry but you cant have your cake and eat it to. So which is it then can it be done or not?

So get ready for fan fest everyone, $120 fanfest ticket goodies will be single character only - Would not be surprised at all.

IMO, people need to keep bringing this up to them and let them know it's not okay, or they will just put off fixing this while using the remaining account-wide codes on the big ticket items while hoping we will just buy multiples of the rest. I'm glad they say they're looking into it, but I also think that if there is such a limit, it didn't just materialize. SE and the FFXIV devs would have known about it for the last couple years if not longer, giving them plenty of time to have worked on it already.

Kind of off topic, but do all 40 characters really need the minion?

why not? why does it matter to you whether they have one char or 40? other games have account wide things and single character things and minions/pets/companions are almost always under the "account wide" curtain. I mean outside of maybe milking a single customer 40 times for the same minion, dont see the reason for restricting it to a single character. the fact they dont have all the glamour items account wide sorta bother me as well. some are, but some arent.

a compromise would be, in my opinion, if you buy a single character cash shop item, allow it to then be bought from the achievement point vendor on other characters.

Out of all the bizarre decisions SE makes, this one really stands out. I don't buy merch but I wonder what kind of thought process went into this decision. It seems like a really bad move from a PR standpoint. Why can't people have a little minion for all their characters when they supported the company by buying something kind of pricey?

[LyraKuroneko]

Just make mounts/pets and achievments cross account already... please...

As a single main character user, this change did not affect me (gameplay wise) as much as disgusted me with this new practice.
We purchase limited quantity physical items at exorbitant prices and in europe, most cases pay double total due to shipping costing as much as the item itself.
And yet we're treated with a digital code for a minion locked to a single character?

I skimmed through the many pages of the thread and saw that there is no GM / Community / Dev reply to this thread which also rubs salt the wound.
Is player satisfaction so at the bottom of their priority list they don't even reply to such obvious feedback? Damn, SE.

[DarthRok]

This doesn’t really affect me now, however, I think it’s a ridiculous decision by SE. Their recent attempts,to squeeze us is starting to be very troubling. I would def reconsider purchasing one of these items for these codes. For those that are purchasing this, SE really needs to reverse this decision, it just makes no sense, other than greed.

[TristanBlane]

I agree this is really dumb, what do they expect you to do? buy multiple of the same product? And if they've made it account wide before with other promo items why not now? Super lame, lots of their decisions are super lame lately

[Riardon]

But but its optional. Who cares. Now be a good customer and hand over all your money to SE.
And it's time to make all items sub based in the Mog Station. You will rent them per month in the future.
Or perhaps buy them with Moogle Coin from the awesome new app.

[EmmaVirgin]

just bring the minion as a single item to the mogshop. i dont need/want useless merchendise.
