We joke that glamour is the true end-game but there is some truth in it.

People want their characters to look cool/stand-out in a virtual world.

I'm ok with regional exclusives and previous event items being locked to the Mog Station but I do think in a game that you buy to play and pay to play, there should be an emphasis on earning such items through achievements in-game.
