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

1. The event can exist there is no real reason it can't.

What about the other question I posed. Do you think there is another method for the Devs to get the items across without having the Japanese playerbase feel like they got ripped off?

Seeing a Japan Only release like this when I'm already considering whether it's time to take an extended break from the game is not very conductive to keeping my subscription active.

Just saying.

"Ripped off" is a odd statement. Like I said I guarantee this deal is less likely for the Japanese FFXIV players than it is for people who don't currently play FFXIV.

But let's say that someone felt ripped off because they got rewarded for buying (Perfectly good) consumable products they didn't lose out on anything they were rewarded a in game item without needing to do any of the associated work to get said items (Grind MGP, get achievements, craft, or purchase of the market boards). It's a perfectly fair trade-off much like I said with cash shop items are fine as long as we can get them ingame somehow.

They did this with the metalic dyes (Only because of what I can assume was hilariously bad sales of the things) and the items now serve as a luxury item that can at times sell for large sums of gil making a purchase on the mog station not entirely out of the question if the player does not have the ingame means to attain the item.

I'm in this same boat atm :/. So far I'm just keeping it active cause my BF doesn't want to lose time on the Veteran Rewards.

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.

australians are always forgotten :P

I'm sure they are just trying to do good business, because Japan hosts about 50% of their player base (I recall from the last time I saw the user found statistics) And that the JP consumer market often has many of these types of cross promotional and seasonal events.

I just wish they had of secured ways for all players on these servers to obtain the items before releasing them.

It's possible that the codes in the promotion wont be able to be redeemed until a certain date, but we won't know much until SE tells us.

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.

[Korbash]

Oh that is really pretty. I'd love that for my male Elezen. I hope we get it in the game or Mogstation. There is no Seven Eleven in the Province of Quebec in Canada. I spent a month in Calgary (Alberta) drinking Slurpee everyday, and sometimes many times a day, Slurpee was so good I was hooked on it, and I've been Slurpee deprived since I left and came back home, since there is no Seven Eleven here .

I'm fairly certain these items will be added to mogstation at some point after the Japanese event is concluded, while it would be nice to get them in-game, I doubt it, since it would alienate the Japanese players who participated in the event. While some will get the necessary points through normal daily routine of buying from 7/11, I'm fairly certain a good portion will also go out of their way to go there just for the points.

Highly doubt they'll try to promote the event in NA/EU through 7/11 though, they aren't nearly as common as they are in Japan, I live in NA and nearest one to me is nearly 300 miles away. Only store chain I could really see them working with that has enough presence across the entirety of the nation, is Wal-Mart, though personally I hope they don't go that route. No clue about how they'd promote it across EU, and even then that still leaves out the rest of the world, I've met people that play and are from South America, Southeast Asia, and Middle East, none of which were even mentioned in regards to the event.

I'm not fussed over this. It will just be like the other outfits people asked for from events that happened to be put on mog station they put it up and hardly anyone glamours it so I don't care if I dont get it just a re-skinned mount and generic maid/butler stuff that's just my opinion of course.
