why does it matter if the item is named replica or not?

:thinking:

What happens if SE takes this to heart and does this for legacy items, re-released as replicas, then vocal legacy players speak their displeasure with this as well? Are we not back to square one? Then it's even less about the "value" of the item or the memories that may have been incurred, but a status symbol that shouldn't be obtained "again" (since it was really just the same item, renamed). You cannot guarantee that no one will be upset over this solution, either. Despite, you know, this being a thing and why so much 'value' is being placed on something you cannot even own:

Allow me to post the direct wording of the ToS:

YOU ACQUIRE NO OWNERSHIP OR PROPERTY RIGHTS IN ANY CHARACTER OR OTHER IN-GAME VIRTUAL GOOD, AND ARE ONLY LICENSED TO USE SUCH CHARACTERS AND ASSETS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR FFXIV SERVICE ACCOUNT SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE AGREEMENTS.
