Add Meister Emotes to the Store!

[Ardeth]

I think anyone would agree that the statues are worth buying without them, there's no reason to make these amazing emotes so exclusive. Scalpers are going to buy all of them the second the pre-order starts, no matter what. So just make money on the emotes! You can delay their release, but sell them on the online store! It's an easy, logical decision to make, and the shareholders will thank you.

At this point it seems like Square Enix hates money. Anyone agree?

It's a double-edged sword. On the one hand, SE loves money. The cash shop is proof of that. But on the other hand, the ridiculous price of the statues coupled with how limited they're gives the owner a precived level of prestige. They have this emote because they spent x amount of money and you didn't. Simply selling the emotes on the cash shop damages that veneer of prestige.

In saying that I agree with you because I absolutely hate Fomo and I think less of companies that practices it as I see it as a predatory behavior, but I see it going over like a lead balloon with the crazy stupid amounts of money statue crowd. This issue hasn't made people quit en masse, so it's not a big deal to them. Ergo, the silence.
