Forced to preorder early because of Wind-up Palom

Square Enix isn't your friend, they want your money ^^
Game company's have been doing stuff like this for years and years now, don't think SE is above it.
Look at just all the minions you can only get from buying their merch.

Yes, it's pretty shady since if you're a minion completionist you pretty much need to pay thousands and thousands of dollars to get every minion. Someone needs to ask Yoshi P this question in the next interview.

If you have OCD this means that you pretty much have to preorder the digital collector's edition to get both minions...

"Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental disorder in which a person has certain thoughts repeatedly (called "obsessions") or feels the need to perform certain routines repeatedly (called "compulsions") to an extent that generates distress or impairs general functioning. The person is unable to control either the thoughts or activities for more than a short period of time. Common compulsions include hand washing, counting of things, and checking to see if a door is locked".

I think you need to reevaluate your definition of OCD.

I do think the "lost forever" approach to digital preorder bonuses is a poor one, though. A long period of exclusivity, sure - but at some point it should run out and they get added to the shop.

No problem with that at all! Two or three expansions could be a good guide. Like about 10% of players I have Cait Sith, and feel more than enough time has passed for it to lose it's exclusivity. Too soon for the Gremlin though (which I don't have), that's too fresh in people's minds.

People really like using the term OCD to mean different things from what it actually means. I hate that, lol.

Anyways, this is coming from someone who can’t even understand that Winter has a specific date and isn’t based on weather.

Definitely, I feel forced to preorder early just to get the exclusive rewards and the EXP boosting earring and to make sure I get both minions. But I also wanted to wait for reviews to come out so I don't accidentally buy a bad expansion. Customers come first and they should not force us to preorder a game before reviews come out with shady tactics like this. Hopefully a developer will see this and change the rewards because the GMs don't seem to be responding to any feedback in this forum.

You are absolutely deluded, and the tired old trope of 'customer comes first' is not even relevant to your argument.

Either you want it, or don't. But first, before you answer - I suggest you look around and have a look at what's going on in the world, then check your privilege for this sheer BS you are carrying on with.

Lol! Yep, it sure is the same person. I called them out on that thread too XD

You can wait up until teh day before to preorder... also, most people dont wait for reviews for MMO expansions.. I was going to preorder with or without bonuses. I've been here for almost 11 years. as long as it doesn't become a different game i'm likely not leaving.

Ugh every other person is a pedantic know-it-all in this forum.
