When Criterion got no rewards but the mogstation wont miss a beat

Pretty sure the events of 2023 (including Blunderville and the 10th Anniversary Moogle Treasure Trove) and the Island Sanctuary rewards were quite a bit when it comes to quality items you can obtain in game.

You mean the casual vacation outfits lol, while the high fantasy clothes in a FINAL FANTASY game remains paywalled, ok.

Not to mention some of it is just bare minimum anyway. Like the island tanga.. another set of panties. Yay.

The EW raids/dungeon gear for healers/casters. Robe, robe, robe, dress, robe, robe. Some of them undyable too. So much variety!

Or how about how the raiding/dungeon gear for ranged pretty much is just machinist gear.

In an expansion that is bone dry in terms of content of course y'all would defend this shit lol.

Have to be honest here. If you need rewards to even do the content. Then it's not for you. Criterion is supposed to be harder content for people who want a challenge.

I mean, next ppl gonna whine that ultimates only give a weapon and nothing else

God forbid we as the players paying a subscription have INCENTIVES to do content.

You mean that one pair of tangas from nine different bottom pieces that are otherwise shorts and actual pants you get from the island?

Oh sorry I forgot to mention HD version of Spring bottom shorts, some more booty shorts, jeans, non cut up peacelover's jeans, a reskinned extreme survival's shirt (the polo), the only unique gear being the sheppard set and the isle worker's/explorers tops. I'm not even counting the gloves which are just reskin of others and we have a bunch of those already in the game, the isle torque which is just the Summer flame's/Drindil (or however you spell it, idc to check rn) torques, and I could go onto the shoes but I'm sure you get the point.

The point being, we have oodles and oodles of new vacation gear, sure, but it doesn't change the fact that criterion has no rewards, the dungeon glam has just been reskins/undyable/little variety, the raid gear has been samey, and this mogstation set that would've been fine as an in-game reward literally anywhere else and instead it has a price tag on it.

All I see is that people use the release of new mog items as a excuse, again, to rant about topics that has been talked continuously about instead of keeping on existing threads to consolidate feedback and concerns about these practices.

But hey, new items in the shop and time to stir the rant pot again, don't we? Wouldn't be General Discussion without it.

What are you, the forum police lol. Not another topic about the mogstation, anything but that. Why can't people just be complacent about Endwalker's most unpopular content still being wildly unpopular while they just keep throwing things in the store.

I checked the first two pages for criterion topics, which is the OG topic to begin with. Couldn't find anything (I'm not looking very hard, just a cursory glance), I'm not going to go deep dive to find another thread about it that's been posted however long ago before this one. But I guess whatever makes you feel justified lmao.
