it a Collaboration so far for now PSO2 get Odin boss fight yoshida haven't decide what he what form PSO2 yet

I know, but I mean what would the reaction of the guy I was quoting be if the event turns out Japan Only just like the Game (And Dragon Quest X for that mater, but SE owns the IP and the event was so gerneric that it could had been any game in that franchise, the former is more of the dealbreaker on things like that)

not sure how business deal between SE & Sega but as an in game event like Dragon Quest X FF13 etc SE can't make it Japan only FF14 is an global game

As far as this event is concerned, the JP players are getting a recolored Fat Chocobo, the same Chocobo collector's edition players and commendation achievers already have. They are getting a chance at getting MGP. They are getting a maid/butler outfit. This event is far more blown out over its importance than it needs to be, and impacts current players in no way.

It sets a precedent. That it's okay to give one region special things. And that is not okay. Because FOR NOW, it's minor stuff like this... But then how much longer before it's more... And more?

Since these are all glamour related items, and not items which help players pay to win, I think this game is doing a good job of catering to its community's interests. The Chinese got their region specific clothes along with their monster censorships. Now the Japanese will get these 711 items. The devs are looking for community feedback to see if players are interested in also having these items and if it's worth their time to port them over. Logic would dictate, since they mentioned on the live letter that they are discussing how to bring these items to Western markets, that they do care about bringing these items west.

Honestly this isn't even a discussion. They are trying to find ways to bring these items to players, and players are assuming they are getting the shaft on the first days of the announcement.

why are you people all for mog station items? how about we get them free from an event? stop throwing money at your computer...we pay a sub!

No, if ever there was a time for an item to be mog station it would be this. These items wont be free even in JP. If you want these items to appear at all worldwide you'd better be willing to spend $ on them

I Just hope the devs see this paranoia as a sign that we, the western players, defintly are interested in these items

This is a discussion, because this is the same path many an MMO has gone down, long before FFXIV, and we're ALL trying to say "Hold up! Don't be those guys!"

They've gone, what 3 years now, without turning into other MMOs? I think they're doing fine. The paranoia is unwarranted.

I can't speak for everyone as these are my personal opinions, but I will quickly retract my approval if they add pay to win items in the cash shop. In my whole time of playing this game, I can confidently say I'm a happy customer and I don't intend on stopping my subscription over silly glamour items which haven't been unconfirmed to come to the west.

(As a side note, I'm not singling you out. I'm just interested in this lovely debate and I have no idea when I'll hit my post limit. :3 )

WoW went close to a decade before turning to the darkest side, and selling level capped characters. We had called it time and time again, the more things they added to the Cash Shop. We called it when the most powerful pets for Pet Battles were in the Cash Shop, and we kept screaming words of warning until the day they finally started selling free levels. It's been done, time and time again. No matter how many times, there will always be players saying "Don't do it!" and others saying "That'll never happen here! Not in THIS MMO."

I can't speak from experience about wow since I've never played it, but wasn't the capped level characters added to help new players from feeling isolated? Unable to level up in a sea of dedicated lifetime subscribers? Seems like a slippery slope like what FFXI had to deal with.
