We don't need them anymore.

I second this. Everytime I read "oh the majority just wintraded for it" it makes me a bit sick to the stomach, because I know what I fought for and who I fought for it. It was most certainly not the majority, like 90-95% of my matches in season 19 for example felt quite real. I loathe the "everyone wintraded" narrative people keep parroting like drones rather than form more than one logical thought and ask themselves how realistic this even is..

That's a lot of people's only experience with ranked Feast. Love it or hate it, it was a real problem that kept people who sincerely wanted to work for the rewards, from getting them, so yeah, they're understandably bitter. I think it's not so much an issue of we fought for this and no one else should have it" but rather how easy or hard the replicas/mounts will be to get. Will they be tradeable for wolf marks (Please no), Trophy crystals? (also please no but it will probably be this way because it's just a matter of dropping the asset into the progress tracker). Commendation Crystals? Now we're talking. That lets us put in the same amount of comparable effort (Diamond) to get it as those who got them originally. And if you get Crystal+? You get more crystals so you get the thing faster.

That's an achievement to be proud of whether you did it in 2015 or 2025.

If they did add the mounts back, what are some ways you think they could make them different from the original without completely changing them? Maybe change the colors of the eyes and mouth of the hellhound mounts but keep the same body color? Possibly change the color of the rocket boosters on the flying chair mounts? Or they could possibly go the king porxie mount route and just add something extra on the model similar to how the king porxie has a crown on its head but besides that looks the exact same as the beast tribe alternative. There's lots of things they could do but I can only think of the examples I mentioned.

Idc too much as long as its the same model
I hate so much that a ff13 mount was locked to a dead game mode at the time

Just stop. The entire issue is that SE has gone back on their word. Stop painting this as some gatekeeping nonsense that we just don't want others to have the rewards. It isn't about that. I don't even have the feast rewards and agree that this is a move that makes SE's words worth less than dirt. It would be the exact same thing as SE suddenly handing out Legacy chocobos to players who didn't start in 1.0 and pay the sub when the game was in a poor state to show support to SE. It's utter BS.

The devs are human just like everyone else and are free to change their minds on a certain stance they made many MANY years ago if they see enough reason to do so. This kind of flexibility is essential to running a live service game due to the importance of listening to feedback so that they can keep/increase their players. I know I keep bringing up the glamour change but it is also a great example of the devs changing their previous stance for the benefit of the player base with Yoshi P stating in the past that he doesn't believe a black mage in armor would look right. You can take it as the devs going back on their word, but I see it as the devs learning from the feedback and not letting their pride stop them from changing their minds on their previous statements.

If anything this is the perfect example of what players in this community are ready to endure just because they want a reward, no matter how toxic a specific piece of content is to them mentally.

Bit ironic SE hasn't seemed to catch onto that given a primary complaint for high end content is the paltry rewards being offered.

(Same as unlocking job restriction for glams, I’m pretty sure SE just broke the emergency glass to try drawing people back to the game after massive number drop from the recent company financial report and they very unlikely did this out of kindness just because player feedbacks but oh well.)

Lmao rip bozo

I now think there's another reason PVP Feast veterans don't want their pixel trophy not being shared amongst their fellow players:

RMT. Money. Dindin. Gold.

Since Feast rewards are exclusive, their accounts have more real world monetary value.

If one were to sell their account with a exclusive item, it would sell for 10x more.

Please don't throw fuel on the fire here. Everyone knows that is not what this is about. They are already upset enough, leave them alone.

How do you know everyone knows it's not what it is about? How can you be so sure it's not about money?
Are all Feast winners some kind of saints?

Selling MMORPG accounts is a practice as old as... as MMOs lol

Feast rewards are just pixels, for Twelve's sake. What would justify all this commotion for a bunch of pixels?

Sorry but people who did participate in it already sold years ago and some even got caught selling. Not that big of a deal anymore
