Thoughts on the new street attire.

Shoulda been treasure map stuff!

Also shouldn't remove extremities!

That being said, I didn't buy it yet but... I need that jacket :x

Am the best consumer, which makes me sad.

The set was made by the Korean Team for the Cash Shop in Korea, it would be unfair for the rest of the world to get it any other way.

In a Post Modern Science Magic Fantasy Setting Like Every Final Fantasy game except ... (one of the early ones 2 or 3), every Final Fantasy game has been Magic meets Space Ship. 14 is no different.

XI doesn't really have that mix. It does have some fluff items that you can get from annual events & the login campaigns, but overall, they've really kept to a fantasy setting. It's quite easy to still feel immersed in that world vs. what we have in XIV.

I realize the immersion ship sailed ages ago for XIV, but I really hope that any future MMO SE creates really focuses on world building, and creates things that fit within that world. IMO, XIV has too many crossovers and way, way, WAY too much fanservice. Yes, there are staples within the FF franchise that always crop up in the various games, but at this point it feels cheap.

Looks okay. It certainly tickles that 90s fashion nostalgia bone. It would look better if it didn't have the Moogle logo on the back though. It reminds me of those urban Looney Tunes shirts that were so popular in the 90s/00s I thought they were kind of cringey way back when as a kid and I think it looks tacky now in Moogle form. Should have been blank or something different like the Meteor. And once again, it makes me wish they would just sell the pieces individually. They'd get more business out of me if I could just buy what I want instead of having to buy an entire set for just one piece.

And either I'm suffering from deja vu or this was shown off somewhere else a few weeks ago, because I could swear this outfit was already out.

The price is fine.

You get two sets of outfits, neither of which are gender locked like.. lets just say.. the Lyse outfit.

Good move releasing it as a single bundle, i was worried it would be male/female sets.

Yeah, but not everyone wants to buy both. If we have to buy both simply because both are fitted to both male and female, then I'd rather it stay locked. Hopefully this doesn't become the norm in the future. It would be preferable, if they fit both, that one could choose which type to purchase and also have the choice to purchase it bundled like this. Of course, it is around a $5 difference currently bundled, while the norm for a single set costs about $18.

not everyone can wear a hat.

Would you prefer each individual piece of clothing on the mogstation be sold separately, but at a higher price than the bundle?

Because that is what will happen if we go down that road.

I would personally rather buy the individual pieces at a slightly higher price (it looks like a chest is worth 4 bucks considering how the new set is priced). In a bundled set, each piece would likely technically be discounted, but I'm still spending more overall for the extra pieces I don't actually care about. SE would have to mark up the individual pieces by a lot for it to not be a better deal than the bundles for most people.

Viera and hrothgar are a non-issue. Yoshida stated they wouldn't get hats prior to their release. They have only budged on this stance on occasion with a select few pieces, it is an exception. Aside from that fact, there is a disclaimer in the store. If a viera or hrothgar player chooses to purchase an outfit at that point, it is on them. Now, they can keep trying to give feedback to change that stance, perhaps request hatless variants for a lesser cost, but it has no affect on my thoughts on this matter.

Funnily enough, we were talking about this in the off-topic thread this morning. This is definitely a situation where you have to be careful what you wish for. If we were being fair, in terms of a cash shop, one could separate each variant and also have a bundle available for purchase which includes all pieces for a slightly discounted price than buying them all separately. As I was saying in my prior post. Now, if they did include pieces sold seperately at a higher cost, depending on the severity of the price hike, actually, yes, I would like to buy pieces separately. I can tell you right now I don't want every piece of this set, and with the majority of pieces on the mogstore I do not want the majority of pieces in the majority of sets. I only want specific pieces from each. I have routinely wasted $15-$18 for nothing but one piece from a set, and I'd say quite a few players have done the same who use the store.

And it's ok for SE to continue treating them like limited races? It is mind-boggling to me that they wouldn't take the time to make headgear work for them, especially since they are trying to sell it. To me it just shows how little SE cares about their players when they don't bother making the headgear work for 2 races and make it barely work for a third. All about the profits over the experience of the players unfortunately.

Pricing for costumes isn't entirely 'even' as the number of items in each set varies, yet they all cost $18 (for non-NPC). So depending on the set, you're essentially paying $3 - $6 per item. If they were to price it somewhere in that range, I imagine they would snag a lot more of that juicy mogstation cash as there are plenty of people who refuse to buy full sets for a single piece here and there.
