What the hell were they thinking with Occult Crescent treasure chest rewards?

[Raenra]

The sheer quantity of what's dropping seems to be the issue, much like with the moon event where by the first week everyone has everything.
If 95% of the chests contained a piece of materia or a firework (like Eureka chests), it would a lot less of a problem.

It's far from the first thread made about this. I don't like it but it's always happened. Bozja actually gave us a lot of rewards that previously held value, such as minions and dyes. The deep dungeons have always done this as well with their treasure systems. And the Grand Company coffers also do it for 3.0 and 4.0 rewards. Extreme mounts, Beast Tribe rewards and other rewards often get given via mog tomes and the rewards come from an increasingly higher expansion over time. We are probably approaching the point where Endwalker rewards will be included in mog tomes, such as Variant/Extreme rewards and maybe they'll even throw in Island Sanctuary and Criterion rewards.

As a mount collector, I've accepted that the rewards I get are rare and presitigous only at the time in many cases. Fortunately for me, I can still choose how I get it, if I am getting it late.

It's funny you mention the Deep Dungeons, because those seem to be the only pieces of older content that have their "exclusive" rewards remain exclusive - literally the only way to get the Night Pegasus or Dodo mounts still, aside from marketboard or their respective DDs, are the GC gacha coffers which have droprates for said mounts so low they may as well not exist. And the Eureka Orthos mount is also still only available from EO, or the marketboard. It feels like DDs are the only content with rare drops that the devs have any interest in keeping rare and exclusive to people lucky enough or willing to pay gil.

Because why would you do older content right?

[Fawkes]

They should've put the Chaotic raid mounts and hairstyle in there, there were probably more people doing Eureka than that.

[BillOverdoer]

Yes it does, you want it? Great, go do this older casual content.

[Hallarem]

How does it insult players? Did you enjoy getting the reward back when you did? Great! Others getting the reward now doesn't take that away.

"Did you enjoy getting that ultimate weapon glam back then, when you did? Great! Others getting the reward from a lootbox commonly doesn't take that away"

[Misutoraru]

This is all content from years ago now. I think bringing up older drops years later is perfectly fine.
Are they maybe a little too common and as someone else pointed out, swapped bronze and gold chest drop values? For sure!
But the fact it's those items that drop. I'm ok with that.

I was lucky enough to get some of those mount back when Bozja still "relavent" conents

Now Eureka and Bozja might not be "dead" contents, they are contents that dated and relatively small groups of player doing it. Having an alternative way of getting those rewards basically allow new players and return players having a better chance to obtain it.

This also add more popularity into current contents. The good outweight the bad imo.

Those are more than 2 expansion old. We have a saying "the earlier you get it, the sooner you enjoy it". I found my Bozja mount lose the "fleshness" long ago, and if someone able to get it in Occult Crescent, good for them and congratulations to them

Simple Reason for it, you can SOLO them, so even when content is death you can still farm it, while Bozja and Eureka, Good Luck doing the big things besides Fates solo


Back to Topic, like i said earlier they just flipped the reward coffer and messed up, cant imagine gold gives only materia while bronze gives all the rare stuff, its just a fail on square side again

"Did you enjoy getting that ultimate weapon glam back then, when you did? Great! Others getting the reward from a lootbox commonly doesn't take that away"

Oh yeah because mounts and minions are comparable with ultimate weapons lol

Yea, no one can take away the fun i had clearing those fights. The ship on this for ultimates has already sailed btw with how many people buy or bot clears.
