    To buy it from the calamity NPC you need to have finished the event last summe 2014.
    If you didn't, wait until next summer event to buy it from the moogle shop.

    Santa outfit and Usagi Kabuto you can also buy in the MB for some tousand gil. Those are tradeable

    See it this way. It reward those characters who did the event.

    No reason to be annoyed, you had your chance and you got it. Nobody made you re-roll or risk losing everything that is always character bound straight from the get go

    Bull. In a F2P game, this would be... not really enjoyable but within the realm of expectation. This is, however, a subscription-based MMO. There is NO excuse to lock all those items behind a cash shop. None. It's bad enough my new character can't get the Lightning event stuff (really, really should be account-bound), but for SE to then laugh and say, "Oh you thought you were playing a sub MMO? Nah, we just want even more of your money!" That's... no. No other sub-based MMO does this with their freaking holiday gear. Even Blizzard, as they continue to expand their cash shop in really unsettling ways, doesn't do this. This is very nearly unsub-immediately levels of horrible.

    2.0 began with outdated seasonal gear selling for gil from seasonal vendors.
    This was removed.
    The gear began to be sold for $3-$5 a piece from mogstation.

    The only way to SEE it, is that they were struggling to think of items for the mogstation. New players are now forced to pay over $50 for items that I obtained without doing the event. It was a deliberate change of heart, with cold hard cash being the only motivating factor.

    Doesn't change the fact that these items are sold on mogstation. $5 for the santa outfit, $3 for a rabbit hat, of which there are 3. That's $14 they allow players to spend for items that can be obtained for free in-game by players who know better.

    And for the love of god, the egg rings cost $3 a piece. $30 for the set of egg rings and egg hats. There is absolutely no excuse for that. Don't even try to defend it.

    Yeah, I bought the 1.0 holiday event stuff on my original main (this character) back when I was first playing in 2.0, too. I expected that trend to continue, and was really looking forward to picking up some of those costume pieces on my new character.

    I had no idea SE was going to be so exploitative with their cash shop. This is seriously upsetting. :|

    Blizzard does have a cash shop. They don't really have as many events with as many cosmetic items, either. Otherwise, they probably would do the same thing, and they do have cosmetic things in the shop. Last I left, they had those helms in there and planning to add more. Almost every MMO sub or no, has a cash shop now. While I don't really like it, everyone is essentially following the model Blizzard created.

    I am fully aware Blizzard has a cash shop. I was pointing out specifically that they do not put old event items up on the cash shop. You can always obtain them in-game from year to year to year.

    No matter which way you cut it, this is absurd on SE's part. Old event items were previously obtainable with gil. They deliberately removed them and changed it so they could not be. That is NOT a good thing.

    The worst part for ME is that I meet people who are curious about my outfits, and I have to tell them about the mogstation. I had a bunch of friends who wanted my halloween ghost costume, and they were all waiting for those vendors to appear last year. Then mogstation was launched in october, with the halloween outfits being the first set of items they were selling for money. So now my dream of a ghost army will only work if people I know hand over $5 for an outfit that isn't even glamorable.

    I don't plan on letting my subscription die anytime soon, so it isn't a matter of me wanting things I don't have. I want OTHER PEOPLE to be able to acquire holiday stuff too. Especially halloween... there is no point in dressing up if everyone has the same costume for the year.

    You had years to get them... if you didn't then you have an OPTION to get them via mog station... better then no option at all right?

    I like that we get new items instead of the same items over and over every year.
    This year we get one piece swimsuits for the girls and a 2 piece set for the boys.

    How does one week in 2013 qualify as "years"? And we were getting new items AND old ones. Literally best of both worlds.

    Summer 2013: New bathing suits, return of old bathing suits for gil
    Halloween 2013: New ghost costumes, return of pumpkin heads for gil.
    Christmas 2013: New snowman outfit, return of santa and reindeer for gil.
    New years 2013: New horse helms, return of rabbit, snake, and dragon for gil.
    Valentine 2014: Full valentine's day set, return of heart jewelry for gil
    Easter 2014:A few new ugly egg hats and rings, return of old ugly egg hats and rings for gil.

    The first year of 2.0 was perfect for holidays, and a major reason why I switched completely to FFXIV being my mmo of choice. New and old. Both. For everyone. Happy Holdiays!
