Regalia Mount

Honestly 200k MGP is very easy to get, and there's basically 0 gambling since even doing the Cactpot stuff is guaranteed profit. About one hour a week can net you ~70-150k MGP fairly easily, depending on if you do the tournaments or not (and you don't even need to do them against other players), and that's without even touching chocobo racing or mahjong.

If you don't like Gold Saucer, that's perfectly fine, but just saying, if you really wanted the mount, it wasn't difficult to amass the MGP.

I was out of the game for a while and when I got in it for the crossover event I didn't have the time to accumulate this amount of MGP. And yes, I don't like the Gold Saucer and don't participate in any of it. So I didn't have this "pocket change". That's why I said it was a poor decision to make it cost MGP and not some GC seals.

No doubt it will end up in the shop at some point.

IDK, the only crossover event items in the Mogstation shop are the Lightning ones and there have been other crossovers with Squenix games.

A few crossovers have been repeated. This one could be.

But what about ppl who don't like or participate in GC events or ranks and never put any effort into gaining GC seals?

Any way you implement it, its going to be inconvenient for someone, that doesn't mean it was a poor decision, just not one that you on board with. But honestly MGP is likely just as, if not easier to get than GC seals but GC seals have a stricter limit at 90k only after a whole lot of work to get max rank, instead of 999,999,999 out of the gate. So the obvious choice is to make it something you need to put minimal effort into but still feels like a reward than a hand out.

Like in almost all games, if you want the loot you need to suck it up and do the content. Cause it was literally the best way to implement it that was open to everyone and still not a flat hand out.
