Seven Eleven Japan Event - Exclusive items White Fat Chocobo and Maid/Butler Attires.

[Niqote]

Edit:

As time has passed, some comments and some questions have been answered and as such I would like to redirect this thread (That still gains replies even to today) to focus on the unanswered questions only.

Namely:

As a person not living in JP, NA or EU, that I am worried that those of us who are not in the 3 above mentioned Countries will not be able to obtain them at all.

But also draw focus to a request to not have region exclusives at all (See: Nimbus/Powerpole Chinese exclusive).
Yes we can wait for them to be distributed to all regions, but perhaps in the future; they could do a better job of communicating with us and assure us that everyone will have access, including the ever nervous pacific who still dont even know if we will be able to participate in the UK promotion for the Maid sets!

Original post:------------------
As we have just seen in the live letter, there will be a limited event in April-May in which by purchasing drink and earning points from Seven Eleven in Japan you may earn these items that no doubt will be highly sought after in all regions


My question... Is how we get the items outside of Japan.
Because Exlusive items per region when the regions play together are not acceptable.


The live letter also stated that they are ''Currently being in discussion to make these items available in North America and Europe''

I would like to express displeasure that the items were not made available after the means of distributing them to all FFXIV players and also mention that as a person not living in NA or EU, that I am worried that those of us who are not in the 3 above mentioned Countries will not be able to obtain them at all.

Discuss away.

This has happened with every FF event (we're not allowed to participate as Australians) they've had & game cards aren't even sold in Melbourne.... something very aggravating and is point blank exclusion but it is not something new.

It would be very nice if the game could see us as customers to begin with in the first place.

To be honest when they said they were thinking of adding the Chinese items to Mogstation near the start of the letter, (hopefully Korean stuff too) I was happy...but then when they said JAPANESE EXCLUSIVES when we actually share the same version...


It's annoying it really is.

It's not an ingame event. See it more like the NA community events, where everyone outside of NA can't join.
A way to bring these also outside of japan? Winning prizes for Challange trials during E3 and Gamescom.

I was very upset to see any form of region exclusive items. The fact that they are so cool looking only adds salt to the annoyance.

I doubt the item code will be region locked
I see only 2 requirements

1. Be in japan
2. Visit a 7-Eleven branch

They clarified this issue already. Its only redeemable on JP accounts.

That said, they WILL bring other regions the glamour/fat chocobo. They just have to figure out the BEST way. Yes, you will pay for it with $$ like JP. No it won't be an in-game reward as that is HIGHLY unfair.

TL;DR: We're getting them, chill. It will still cost $$, stop asking for it for free.

I hope they add them to the Mog Station and not some promotion with 7 Eleven of NA/EU, otherwise us Aussies will be left out like usual. :l

How about they release this in the gold saucer as well instead?

While that would be preferred, it's extremely unlikely considering how the Japanese player base has to unlock it. Thematically they fit in with the usual Gold Saucer rewards, and the Gold Saucer is extremely lacking in rewards...

Didn't they hint at doing this? I hope so at least, though I want those 30k MGP tickets so damn badly. I'll drink all the soda and never go back to the Gold Saucer again!
