ROYAL RUBY • NIGHTCLUB • BEHEMOTH/PRIMAL

Clearly the chefs selling Fillet of Eft (Eft-Fil-A?) need to attend the same business school as the shoemakers!

It still doesn't give IC justification for an item that:

- In Eorzea wouldn't be as expensive
- If sold by a venue that doesn't charge real gil would be sold for a lot less
- Isn't seemingly sold on the market board for near as much (but we know what the MB is like, people will over charge if they can)
- Costs nowhere as much to make
- But has a mark up that seems typical of venues trying to make real gil off of RPers and coincidentally is using real gil

It don't take a lot to figure out that the price isn't based on in character logic but is based on making money off of RPers logic. Nothing is stopping them from doing it and they're free to even if I disagree with it, but let's not pretend it's anything else
Heck even the OP has said they've based their prices on other venues who charge and that their market research was based on said other venues and took a very business like corporate mentality when looking what to charge real Gil for.



What he didn't do was look at what would be a fair price within the game's world, make reference to what would seem reasonable to a venue set in Eorzea. It very clearly has no in character justification.

My initial argument was that if it's the "best immersive experience" wouldn't the prices be more sensible to what you might expect when immersing yourself into an Eorzean setting? But ultimately they've taken a business mindset from the point of selling RP experiences and not from a business mindset within the frame of Eorzea. That's what they've set out to do, so I don't see any reason to try to make IC justifications for something not done for IC reasons.
