YoshiP No more Region Exclusive Items, Please.

[Laerune]

EU and AUS have still not received any new items, the past 3 weeks we have only heard "We are working on it" followed by a sillence. The NA event got extended, it would not suprise me if we dont get the event untill September.

Making these items for the Japanese players only (Yoshida said that the maid outfit was for Japanse region only, untill there was a outcry from the western players) was a big mistake and a stupid one aswell. The Japanese players are not the only one paying for this game, the NA and EU are aswell. Its sad that in 2016, SE still thinks its oke to give one region a item and act suprised when they find out that other regions want those items aswell.

We are almost in July and EU and AUS has still not received anything, no data on when our events are being released, nothing. 3 weeks ago we got a "We are working on it" folllowed by a silence. Next time SE when you want to release those type of items this is what you should do:

1: Make the items for all your players, the Japanse region players are not more special then your North American region players, European region players (AUS included). Its stupid to think that players would not like extra glamours.
2: Release the outfits at the same time for everyone, if you are not able to arrange these promotion on time for some regions, then wait with the other regions aswell. There is a reason why players think that the Japanese players are being favourited by SE and the way you have handled this is not realy disproving.

I think SE is going to do this again, mark my words in 6 months or a year, SE will make an another promotion with outfits and mounts for the Japanese region again. The players from the NA and EU will find out and complain to SE, Yoshida will come and say "I did not know that the NA and EU players wanted this" then there is a Live Letter where Yoshida will say "If the NA and EU want the those items aswell, please let us know by asking for it via the forums". Few months later, we see those promotions being made for NA and then (maybe) also for EU.

How about instead of making these items for one region and then be suprised that the rest of the community want these items aswell, you release them all at the same time and avoid this bullcrap?

Give us all the items we obviously want them I don't get why they even bother asking because it's obvious what the answer is.

Yeah, the development time is already spent, might as well let everyone reap the benefits.

I really feel for everyone over in EU and AUS waiting for information about the EU promotion for the 'Summer DLC' and whether or not AUS will be included in that. I'm sure that what makes it even more frustrating is that according to this article here they are planning a release for the first exlusive chinese outfits in the JP mogshop and yet we still have no word on the EU DLC promotion.

Hang in there

If it's the one you quoted the translated Q&A from a couple of posts back... I'd say that "being added on the Japanese side of things" implies "the Japanese developer side" and not "JP mogshop". Unless it's worded more specifically somewhere else, of course.

Its been a month now and still no news, if they atleast told us which month its going to be, we would have something...

I think those rumors of EU/AUS getting those promotions in September is starting to look more real.

Thanks for your kind words. I would not be suprised, if we see those items released for the JP community first then few months later for the rest of the community. I would also not be suprised if the JP communty get those items before the EU/AUS get the Summer DLC promotion.

I'm not sure if it's worded differently else where, but since the Panda minion and Magpie minion ended up up in the mogshop, I kinda took it that once this item is added into the data on our end, then it would end up in the shop there as well.

Oh yes, most certainly it will. But that doesn't mean JP-only mogshop. I interpreted it to mean "Japanese as opposed to Chinese or Korean", not "Japanese as opposed to European or North American" (since 'our' items are added over there in Japan as well). =) If I misunderstood what you meant in your post, I apologize for adding to the confusion.

I purchased the 25th Anniversary Collection set last year, the one with all the games from 1-13, a DVD and an art book, along with the Moogle Earrings. The code still seems to work, but is only valid on Japanese accounts. My account is NA, so what do I do now? Sit and wait until they bring them back for NA/EU... if ever. Well, at least I have a huge heavy pretty white box to look at.

To expand on this, they even get 1.0 items from their cash shop, which most players don't even have on NA servers, which I would be all for, if it was a thing on all servers

Because they never even had the chance to play 1.0. JP, NA, and EU had their chance to get 1.0 items. And lest we start playing the "it isn't fair" card: 1.0 was out for two years before it was taken down. Two years. You, me, and everyone else had their shot.
