Did Square forget America isnt the size of Japan when partnering with Gong Cha?

Europe is bigger than the US (including meme alaska yes) and has 44-50 countries (depending who u ask). US has 50 states.

And honestly even including Alaska is funny since its not even attached to mainland US, thats like adding Greenland to Europe because Denmark owns it.

You taking notes SE? Give us a Greenland-Alaska promotion next. It'll be an even worse promotion than before which is clearly what you're aiming for.

Come down to Dave's dive bar in Nome Alaska for a special crab mount and a salmon keychain!

[ApolloGenX]

Unfortunately, it didn't matter for me. I live where there are 3 of them and within 24 hours they were all sold out of keychains.

You can get them on Ebay for 70 dollars, though.

/womp womp.

Look at Europe. I don't think the people organizing the crossovers are actually thinking about anything but JP. It just feels like the rest of us are an afterthought.

I live in Canada and have a Gong Cha right near me and another moving into the mall. Neither the one near me nor the several others in the area had keychains. I didn't even know there were keychains until I looked online. (at least I got the mount though)

Why are we getting into "who's got it worse"?

Every promotion has its problems even if there's no outside partner.

SE would need to partner with something like McDonalds and get them to involve all their regional subsidiaries to pull off a good promotion. There aren't that many companies out there with substantial international market penetration to cover every place that players live.

Insert obligatory "why are they giving these items away via third party product sales when they could be giving us ways to earn them in game".

The Gong Cha near us had the employees selling the codes on ebay and constantly refusing to honor the promotion on weekends. Guess the wanted the extra pocket money before being reported to corporate.

They already forgot America's not the size of Japan when they put all of our data centers in California.

I really miss the old data center location... Playing hasn't been the same ever since it moved. Too many things make ping matter in ff14.

That's a valid point, I would prefer to get them in-game. It gets frustrating as someone who is Canadian and has yet to qualify for a promotion, and there are parts of the US who are left out at times.

laugh in eu
what, 3 countries with the whats-its-name bubble tea shop? 4?
at least the code is usable by everyone everywhere
how was that mountain zu again? :-D

No idea because none of the stores near me sell bottles with codes and they're like $10 online :^)
