Discuss: Lady Iceheart Attire

[Arzalis]

Had to do a second take when I saw this. At first I figured they were doing the usual scummy thing of forcibly selling an outfit few people want (or even can use) with a hairstyle, then realized it's just the outfit that can basically be replicated in game.

This one feels pretty desperate, imo.

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.

If only they also make the outfits Dyeable, and not make them 1 whole Gear Piece so we can mix and match.

Also, I went into Dreamfitting or whatever its called to look at this....and, I actually think its Lazy and Scummy. I can get behind the idea and appeal of this!....IF it came with the Hair.
But on its own, its JUST an NPC specific Recolor of another Gear set.
From my memory, everybody else has a Unique 1 or a Kind outfit. But not Ysayle. So this being on sale WITHOUT the Hair, is just awful. I dont even like Ysayle, and I can look at this and get angry.

[HeyMcFly]

Waste of money since it doesn't have her hair
Plus, you can already get the coat in an ARR dungeon

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.

i genuinly feel like they DONT actually want money. because where is emet/zenos or crystal exarchs outfits.. those would be flying off the shelf in hours... even i would buy zenos STB armour.. it looks amazing.. or yotsuyos robe or gods even tsukiyomi... but its like.. why are they waiting.. what are they holding back for... just give people what they want.. and the money would fly in... i buy mog stuff... i bought the magitech attire because it reminds me of nomuras style.. im not against it.. i WANT to indulge it.. but they are not appealing to the correct audience or using a slither of effort

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.
