    Not planning to change your mind on it, just kindly reminding you there is a difference between event-based FOMO rewards on the whole playerbase to encourage subscriptions when they didn't want to...

    ...and "FOMO" of what essentially has been created as a Trophy for high performing players per season where the design goal of said item literally is the rarity and prestige. ("but wintraders/cheaters" is not enough of a counterpoint, there is a statistical majority of people who have not cheated winning these)

    You can hate the latter as much as you want, but the purpose is fundamentally different, which is why they have refused to rerelease up to this point - because for JP players prestige of their trophies matters.

    Any Fomo that locks new players out of content is bad. If you'd have to build a time machine to get it, then it's bad fomo, regardless of how much you want something that isn't physically to have value you to, it doesn't mean it has it or deserves it.

    I don't care about prestige in a video game made up of fake items and data. It's an ignorant side to take. Plus, it makes older games more prestigious because they keep their intrinsic value without Fomo. Go beat Sekiro and tell me it's on par with having a fancy coat in this game. Even though that's apples and oranges, it's clear that one respects the player more.

    Imagine if you can, that I can chase that reward later and how much gameplay that would add. That is what you lose when you have fomo. It's absolutely moronic on a fundamental level.
