Why is the Cruise Chaser mount from the Mogstation?

[Lauront]

I mean, that's how it works for apple, nintendo, sony or ms for example, so why wouldn't it work for squeenix?


also, whoever said 30$ isn't a lot of money to what ultimately amounts to a few pixels on the screen, should re-evaluate their lives if money is of so little value to them, and I sincerely hope these people will never endure financial hardships in their life
oh wait, I do

It looks like SE has succeeded to some degree in XIV's case, at least insofar as certain vocal social media outlets are concerned. It's such a backwards mentality. I am all for free enterprise, and that sort of nonsense has no place in it and is something consumers ought to find creepy and repulsive.

In all honesty it's better than it being another feast reward. Could it have been achievable in-game? Sure, but it's better than only a tiny percentage of players getting it. Mostly win sellers/buyers anyways.

People defending the Cruise Chaser in the shop, because the money go for the dev team

It is very very very unlikely that the money from the shop mount will go into the game dev team. Bussiness decisions are not made like this. If the shop mount is a success then they will reinvest the money to make a better Mogrystation and design more shop mounts. Because it is a far easier money.

I only question their priorities in terms of types of content, but they do seem to be trying to provide as much as they can considering, even with manpower issues.

I can agree with this wholeheartedly

I am grateful to be able to purchase it at Mog Station.
If it was a reward for winning 1000 times in the new PvP starting with Endwalker, I would not have been able to get it for years.
On a more serious note, FF14 has been selling mounts on the Mog Station for a long time now, and I've never felt overly encouraged to pay for them, and I've never seen the game fall apart because of it. Rather, as you all know, the player base continues to grow and FFXIV continues to improve.
Please keep in mind that there are opinions like this one.

I've seen some extreme knee-jerk reactions on these forums over the years. This is almost at the top of the list. Holy cow, people. You guys are putting the Sleipnir controversy of ARR to shame.

As it should.
It was exactly the same in fact.

When something that clearly should be IN GAME content is put into a cash shop is always bad.

I wouldn't mind variant colors of these mounts being in the cash shop. But iconic mounts should be - at least in their original version/color - completely in game content.
I Pay a subscription to play IN GAME and be rewarded IN GAME.

It is unethical when they do this, so yeah, the outrage is completely legitimate.

bold words for someone that made this post



the rest of your post is not worth responding to and just further proves my point

I'm going to go purchase one right now.

Also, buying a thing is not in any way equivalent to wishing poverty on a person because they can afford to make a private decision that you - being the unimportant rube that you most certainly are - have absolutely zero say in.

Who says it should be in the game? I'm trying to figure this out here. Do you own this business? Did you make it? What right besides being a consumer do you have? Some of you need to learn your place on this. Saying that it should be in the game, takes a level of ego that I can't even picture.


You even as far as said CLEARLY? And unethical. A business trying to make money off its work? The only reason why you are going that far is because they already made tons of money, you are not getting your way...and you can't quit cause of addiction. I understand, but this level of thinking is so self center. To say that a company should not sell something it made.


Do you really think your sub fee is enough? LOL as I said before the people who buy this stuff. Help keep our sub fee low, and I <3 these people.
