What do we think about the new Belt-leather attire?

This is what bothers me the most. It's not necessarily even the price itself but how it looks to release these new mogstation items, at these prices, right after telling us in a liveletter that they had budget issues.

Now, I don't think the actual dev team had anything to do with this, as far as I know they are not responsible for the mogstation and have little if any control over how it is run.
But what this shows is concerningly poor communication between different departments which is probably not exclusive to XIV's store.

My understanding is that the MogStation team more or less operates independently and its money stays within CS3 with Yoshida deciding how the pie is split, but I could very easily be wrong or their statements on it could be lies/outdated/mistranslated.

That was also my last info on how it functioned. But my point still stands, if those are two separate departments they have terrible communication between departments, because this is simply not good optics.
