Nier raid 2b outfit rant.

[DevilsDontFly]

I just think it's funny that this is only an issue now. Nobody made a fuss about all the previous raid's minions having an abysmal drop rate, or there only being one crafting material, or Balthier and Vaan's outfits being locked behind RNG drops that aren't guaranteed to appear on every single run while Fran's is there for Viera from the get go. But when it's a cute waifu dress that has a 100% drop rate three times at the end of the duty, God forbid having to grind for it, amirite?

The people who play dressup in this game aren't used to playing to get what they want. More used to pulling out their wallet at the mogstation.

Fixed it for ya.

There isn't much there in the way of glamour imo.. but then I've bought only 2 sets because there was that one piece out of the whole thing that I wanted that has no readily available in-game equivalent. I've played many games that have a 'glamour' system (Perfect World remains the very best for an old game), and FFXIV is the only one where I have to really dig deep in the annals of time and space to find pieces that work well together, and then there is still the issue of them dying properly in the expected areas.

Over 50 outfits that are mogstation only (not counting any seasonals/weapon skins).

I know how many they are, and my point still stands, that very few of them offer little in the way of usefulness to me.

My point still stands about the rest of the community that happily makes anything they shove into the cash store a success. My apologies if you felt personally attacked by this despite its irrelevance to your situation.

Plenty of people have made an issue about the minions (and cards, and orchestrion rolls, for that matter) in the past. That's why they're guaranteed drops now, instead of pure RNG whether they would drop at all when some of the older raids started.

Like this is so true. What I find funny is that 2b's outfit isn't even all that unique to glams already in the game.
