Honestly, it just feels......late. If it'd been released around late Heavensward to early Stormblood, when Ysayle's story was still fresh in players' minds, it might've made more sense (and more sales, for that matter). Why wait so long?

Throwing low effort stuff at the wall to see what sticks? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I agree, but I still think it's better late than never.

I want more of these NPC releases. Things like Moenbryda and G'raha's outfits, and maybe even later ones like Alphinaud and Alisaie's Shadowbringers outfits (in pieces).

If they don't want to give away job gear copies to other jobs, they could release things like Thancred and Urianger's outfits as still job-locked (and fork out the money to get them some actually unique costumes next time). Urianger's red-gemmed version of the AST gear is really nice.

More NPC weapons as well.

It shouldn't be withheld just because it's "low effort". The model is there, it works, why not make it available so people can have it if they want it?

I really like this, I can imagine so many male characters wearing the graha outfit as well.

Isn't Moenbryda's outfit already available? I forgot what it was called, though. Unless you're asking for the thigh tattoo as well.

Making it available isn't the problem here, though (to me: I can't speak for others). It's charging $12/USD for something that could be easily replicated in game for free. They could have made the purchase worthwhile by packaging the hair with it, but they decided not to for some reason.

The outfit cannot be "replicated" in the game. It can be approximated fairly closely, so long as you're willing to play caster, but it's not directly the same.

Most uses of the robe that I have seen so far on Eorzea Collection are specifically tying in with the pretty sash that does not exist on the other versions of the robe.

And yes, Moenbryda's outfit is available for DoW classes but not DoM. I'm not sure that I'd buy it now, but I definitely would have if it was available when I was at an earlier stage in the game. It's still a design that I really like.

Likewise for G'raha's outfit from the Crystal Tower raids – it was all gear you can get elsewhere, but not for all classes or in the exact colours, and with unique embellishments.

The Scions' older basically-in-the-game-already outfits have been like this in the shop for literal years and nobody kicks up a fuss, but as soon as they add to the collection, everyone reacts like the sky is falling.

And yes, it would be nice if we could just get them directly in the game, but it's long established at this point that Mog Station is *the* place where NPC outfits are made available. So again, given that there is unlikely to be any other way of acquiring these particular items, I would rather them be released than withheld.

"Replicated" was a poor choice of word. I'll admit that. Still, I personally don't think the price equals what you get. We can agree to disagree on that.

I never said that the items should be available in-game. I'm one of those people who are okay with purchasing exclusive items on Mogstation. That's not what I have a gripe with. It's the lack of quality/effort that they've had with the online store lately.

I do agree that having the gear for all classes and separated is a step in the right direction, though.
