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

[Nyastra]

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. 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.

You can have your grievances towards the existence of said cash shop, but it doesn't take away the fact that that's what keeps funding this game, so we have to take it or leave it.
While some people will not say no to free stuff there is absolutely no reason in my mind why I would do this collab in game, I hate the gear. So it is what it is.

Crazy. One would normally think that's what the subscriptions, the price on the base game and the expansions are for. Specially since you can't play the full extent of the game without any of them.

And what you, specifically, do has no bearing on what usually goes with events. Not to mention that really doesn't take away the fact that they're also supposed to spark the interest. If people not being interested in a thing (not to mention the reason can simply be because they don't even know about it) was a basis for not promoting it, advertisement would never exists.

Not to mention that we've had an entire decade with collab events and references that did not incur additional costs and not all of them with the "very popular" (metrics for the statement TBD) games.

But I feel like that's rarely ever the case. MH is extremely popular, as is NieR.

And yet, FFT also got their own Alliance Raid too, despite being "unpopular". Yokai Watch got their own game collab too and, then, an expanded one. The game is also riddled with glams and content that takes from the many other FF, and not all of them the massively popular ones, in the series and even some outside the series.

We already have the ivalice collab, an entire raid series for it. Asking for some paltry limited time FATE seems petty in comparison.

I would have liked these items to be moogle posted to active subscriptions but I get that would be them effectively giving away free money so can't reasonably complain.

[Raikai]

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.

Is this kind of thing so rare to occur? I feel we'd need concrete data to analyze what impact those collabs have.

Also I always had the impression (by the reactions) the community is more driven for glamours above anything else, because even if you may not like a collection as a whole, sometimes there's a lot of value in the standalone pieces (assuming whatever we get is not an 1-piece set).

$69 for all four items is pricey. I'm not surprised... but I think most games would at least offer a bundle of everything with a discount or an initial sale.

It's very normal, and I don't know what that person is talking about. XIII, XV, and XVI are at worst hated and at best financial failures, but all of them had small collab events(and XVI is/was supposed to get a second at some point) and glamour among other things. XI had two events with a glamour set, other cosmetics, and then extra cosmetics in Eureka and now the alliance raids. With Ivalice and both of its major eras being part of the setting, there's no good reason(from our standpoint, unless you own SE stock) for these to be cash shop exclusives.

I wonder what SE will allocate FFXIV subscription income to next now that tactics is released.

The unnamed Sakaguchi game that they're also making.

[Raim]

Massively greedy. You should at least get codes for these for buying the remake itself. I can understand putting them on the store for people who don't want to buy the game, but you should just get them if you buy the game.

[Xemsi]

I am disappointed that these didn't get added to the Ivalice Raid we already have in-game. Would've been nice to have an incentive to run older content.
