lunar whale

[Vahlnir]

The second I saw the Lunar Whale mount on "sale" I got flashbacks of Fallout 76 when they tried to pull that "sale" crap on items that had never been released before.

To be fair, I was expecting the whale to be around $50. It is almost $10 cheaper than that, plus a small temporary discount. For me, that is a win/win.

Only reason they get away with it is because of the content schedule. I mean obviously this is straight up cashing in on nostalgia but they are pushing the limit of what they can get away with in FF14. If the content wanes or the next expansion sucks and they try this expect a revolt.

Space isnt cold, its a vacuum, it only insulates. It seems "cold" as we are exotherms that LOSE heat in space.

A thermos is a vacuum, remember?

We still freeze to death in seconds if caught in the vacuum of space without anything to protect us.

Eh, consider that this event is in place of 3 Fan Fests that would have included a hefty chunk of merch sales and entry ticket sales (both of which cost far more than the whale mount and minions). Is it cashing in on nostalgia? Yes and no, given that a decent chunk of the EndWalker expansion seems to be a callback to FF4 it's not there for nothing. Is it recouping a little of the money they may have made during the regular fan fests? Undoubtedly.

1) If you don't enjoy this game, the mogstation doesn't bothers you.
2) Mogstation items are all fluff items which are not needed to play the game.
3) Sure go play other games, its a free world. Players like myself wishes to spend money on retainers and fluff items instead of playing another game, that's our personnel choice.

im aware the items are all optional, thats literally why i have never complained about anything related to mogstation, ive bought some glams and other items from it and im happy with what i got.
3) ure free to do with your money as you please, i was just saying what ive seen several XIV players talk about.

With no air pressure all the air is sucked from your lungs, and your liquids start boiling while the gasses inside your body start expanding due to ebullism. You would be unconscious in 10 to 15 seconds due to lack of blood and oxygen to the brain, and you would swell up to about double your size from the expanding gasses. Luckily skin is elastic so you wouldn't explode.

You would die from no oxygen long before you lost your heat especially if you are in sunlight where you could end up with the biggest case of sunburn on your dead bloated body.

Space is a vacuum, vacuum insulates against heat loss, so any popsiclation would take a long time.

People complain every time they add something nice to the mogstation. Would a free lunar whale mount have been nice? Sure, but they decided to make it mogstation, nothing we can do about that. I'm just glad we can actually get the lunar whale.

Thanks to the people confirming the space whale in FFIV. So it is how it's supposed to be, just based on the artwork they chose.
