Cash shop pricing is getting a bit much...

[Krotoan]

Yeah, pretty sure that's the issue ;v they don't want to break the bank in order to own the item. Hence wanting it to be cheaper.

You don't see how "it's too expensive, make it cheaper so I can buy it at the price I want" is a little entitled when other people are perfectly willing to pay up the set price? I will apologize if that sounded a little brusque before, but it's getting old.

I don't think it's an unreasonable request. imo no one is acting entitled lol. Is it wrong to want a better deal for something? Especially when there's controversy of it even being gated by a paywall in the first place?

imo it's pretty reasonable to want something like this cheaper when pretty much every other game that has dlc items like this are only for a few bucks, if that.

Maybe they buy it because it makes them happy....? Because they really like the look of it...? I mean, you might as well ask why we bought XIV and why we\\\\'re playing it too with the way the loaded question is phrased.

It\\\\'s not a matter of whether or not people feel special, they buy it because they want to. It\\\\'s simply human nature.

If it's so simple, then there is no reason to discuss it on the forum. Then this whole topic is useless.

The reason for my rude question was very simple to trigger people. Like I said earlier I dont care about the *extra stuff* and too be honest, I dont really care if people buy them.

What i do understand why people are against it. You cannot really say there is alot of content what you keep playing the game in the long run.

It’s wrong and entitled to demand an item for reduced price or for free when someone else had to pay for the same thing. These regional items weren’t passed out for free in their respective regions, the Chinese and Korean players had to pay for them in some manner so asking SE to give us those same items for free goes beyond the pale.

How would you feel if SE designed some NA or EU themed armor and made us pay for it (either directly or via a promotion), but then they turned around and mailed it to all of the other regions for free?

.. only not. the most equivalent game sells their mounts and and cosmetic items for equal or higher prices.

It's not reasonable to ask for things to be on sale simply because you personally do not want to pay for them at the going rate.

I'd be honored because that would mean SE has to actually acknowledge that is third class citizens of NA and EU players actually exist for them to actually make something for us. Also lol all these blind white knights defending SE. Paying a sub for them to develop stuff for you to buy again is worth defending

i would be salty in case of JP

- but i wouldn't care in case of the chinese version.

also they already did that, kind of, with reskins of collectors edition mounts and minions. i payed for the ceourl, fat chocobo, griffin and behemoth minion. and now you can get the black panther, parade chocobo, white griffin and a different behemoth minion for free in the game. even another black panther wich can fly. my ceourl can't fly - despite the fact that they just have to copypaste the animation...

and no, i don't really care. i am just waiting patiently for my free Sleipnir reskin...

This is a bit much. I was expecting to see another 7 Eleven or amazon collaboration event again. But to sit there and charge that much for each set is ridiculous. Other high price items in in the mid 20's to 30 dollar range and they were account wide. I see the FF team at SENA must have been studying the jp-na model for KHUX. If its going to be priced that high they should at least make them account wide

I'm not demanding anything here btw. I don't even want those items. But I'll never defend bad business, in whatever form and whatever the cultural norm is elsewhere. I spend my money on what I enjoy and find value in. For me personally, I think the prices for these mogshop items are absurd. I sympathize with those who can't afford them or won't buy them on principal.
