"Concentration" Mini Game to be put on Mog Station for purchase

[EscaBara]

The mini game offers no benefit and is irrelevant in-game to character progress, which typically is the only real reason to complain about something being in the cash shop. However that does not mean it isn't a unique aspect to the game as a completely unrelated minigame.

And yes

Anyone who would buy it finds it a meaningful enhancement to the game (even if it is a somewhat minor one). Such enhancements shouldn't cost extra after we're paying a subscription.

As much as I agree with you and feel like I deserve to have this minigame for free like others, I do not believe it is in any way possible for that to happen except for maybe waiting a year, so mog station is my only hope.

Well, people trying to support the notion of a cash shop frequently pretend that that would be the main reason for opposing it. It really isn't.

That argument is most often applied by claiming that cosmetic stuff could be in a cash shop without damaging the game, yet the vast majority of the game's long-term rewards are cosmetic. If cosmetics can be purchased through a cash shop, then all those in-game rewards are trivialized (or worst case scenario eliminated). That's a bigger impact on the game than selling best-in-slot combat gear would be. (In fact, the only real argument against selling that combat gear is the exact same one that applies even more strongly for cosmetics - that it reduces the incentive to earn that gear through gameplay.)

In this case, it's a mini-game rather than a cosmetic under discussion, but the same basic facts still hold. If SE decides to bring it back, they can do so either in a way that will let you earn it in-game or by having you purchase it out-of-game. The former enhances the process in a way the later doesn't. Every cash shop item is one less in-game reward.

The OP is a part of a hardcore endgame Concentration static and needs to keep up his Concentration skills or he won't be able to participate in the upcoming Eorzea Concentration tournament of champions held once every 10 years.

Okay fine, I don't know. No one seems to know :/

Cash shop? I'd rather see it never come back if that's the only way we would get it.

Haha you missed it. I have the mini game and you doooon't. We should all start posting screenshots of all of us enjoying the heck out of the concentration game in this thread.

Yes, please do, I quite like that idea!

Im sorry but with a response like that I have to ask, are you even old enough to be allowed to play the game?

I'll agree the OP has said some stuff that hasn't helped his cause but the amount of crap in this thread is unreal.

I know the forum has a reputation of being an awful place but come on I know children that know better than you judging from that post.

Rearranged my house today, reminded that I cannot and may not ever be able to use my toy box to its fullest extent. Very sad, hoping there is another way to obtain "Concentration", soon.

This is one of the more insane things I've read in a long time. It's a 4x4 grid, you can't play with friends, you get nothing out of it. Even if you did have, you woild probably play it twice and never touch it again. If you DO somehow get enjoyment out of something so insanely minor, I have got a better idea. Pay me the 15 bucks a month and I will send you a link to 50 new games every month that I will guarantee to hold you interest.

Complaining over nothing. NOTHING. At least all the horrible threads begging for lightning return can say they are bent about glamour... bht this sir, this has taken it to a whole new level.

...get over it and go enjoy the damn game.
