Final Fantasy Tactics items on Mogstation... THREE whole sets?

[Raikai]

C'mon... Why we are getting 3 full sets, dyeable and in separate pieces in the online store instead of an ingame collab?

One of them, at least?

Those sets are really nice, they do fill in that traditional fantasy silhouette people want (as opposed to modern glams) but as cash shop items? Really a let down.

You could buy final fantasy tactics for less than all of those

This could've been a in game collab event btw but i guess square is bleeding money so that got scrapped

This screams desperate to me. In any other year, this would've been an event ala FFXV.

It's really just a addition to what we got as a Alliance Raid in Stormblood - And those sets definitely aren't for everyone, SE knows that. I don't even know someone who did play FF Tactics back then.

We get the Monster Hunter Wilds Collab loot for free, however, since it's far more popular and widely known.

In order for it to be an in game collab, the majority would have to know about it and care for it. And a lot of people don't. Thus, cash shop for the hardcore fans.
They could spend all the time in the world making this an in game collab and half the people wouldn't bother because it's just not that appealing.

That Gaffgarion set looks amazing, really tempts me to buy it. But I'm a sucker for anything FFT related, to be honest.

Gaffgarion's set being a store glam hurts my soul.

I thought one of the reasons for a collab was to make something known for the playerbase, as some sort of publicity.

I personally had no idea what Monster Hunter was before the collab here, and only got to experience it because I got to know it in FFXIV.

The purpose of game collabs is to both feed nostalgia so that people will sub or resub into FFXIV and introduce FFXIV players to other games.

And the entirety of the people will bother because absolutely no one would say no to free stuff and more content. That's a no brainer.

And I won't get started on my grievances towards the existence of a cash shop in a subscription + expansion based game.

I understand that idea and the logic. But I feel like that's rarely ever the case. MH is extremely popular, as is NieR. People won't do something that doesn't interest them. If they were to make this an in game collab with these same rewards, many won't do them aside for maybe the music rolls. The gear is a very specific type of vibe, and definitely not for everyone. If there was some sort of mount reward, then I think more people would definitely go for it, but glam is a very slippery slope for a collab.
