Forced scarcity and exclusivity.

[PharisHanasaki]

Normal items I agree, but with legacy items think about it like this. You were involved in something at work that was never done before, where you were constantly providing feedback to improve a system that was broken, a system that many abandoned or scoffed at when you mentioned it. But you stayed with it, you persisted, you invested tons of time into it when there were better things out there and it became just as important to you as it was to its creator. And after all your work was done, when you expected nothing in return, you were gifted with something small and unimportant in the grand scheme of things, but you were told it was a thank you for helping. You go home and have it on display for awhile, but then things get crowded and you have more to display so you pack it away.

Then someone walks in one day and says "hey I heard you used to give your people X and I want one too, its old so its no big deal, just gimme it cause I want one too" and that person who gave you this thing that meant so much just said "ok whatever" and gave it to them. You may not have it on display anymore, it may just be in a box somewhere, but it still loses its luster and instead of being a symbol or recognition and gratitude, it becomes one of betrayal. I mean, basically that's what it is.

If SE just started giving out legacy items or putting them on the mogstation it would definitely be a betrayal, no matter how long its been. They can make something similar, but that exact item should stay exclusive, as it was promised. I, for one, would unsub if the tattoo, legacy chocobo and what not was suddenly on the mogstation because that would soil my relationship with SE. I was here because I wanted to be, I expected nothing, but they gave me something to show their appreciation, and that means something. Taking that away would show us, that we as customers, as players, as fans...mean nothing.

I'm sure they will be added to the mogstation at some point. Exclusive rewards for fanfest, and other merchandise have been made available. Since it's legacy it might take longer.

Exclusive on this game means that it will be re-released for cash eventually :<

I think you are close. They will tweak legacy stuff just enough to claim legacy players are still special. But the new item will be so close that it will just be semantics. Also why does no one ever ask for the moogle earring that came with the final fantasy collection edition. Which included games at the time that they didn't even make systems for anymore.
