About the EU campaign for maid outfit and fat chocobo

It was a forced promise, demanded by the community after first info about the 7-11 event

Doesn't matter. They still did it. And as such, they are fully responsible for it.

Europe isn't as united like the USA is and therefore it's way harder to get this done with all the different legal restrictiions and all the other stuff so yeah.

To my knowledge the MogStation store is available to the ENTIRE Eu playerbase, there was nothing wrong with putting 20$ worth of promotion material into euro and other equivalent based on country. If that does not work there are many, MANY different mediums such as Steam, Amazon, G2A, etc etc etc, The whole reason people are outraged is because it both requires physical acquisition of a product over the timeframe of 3 months or more rather than the instantaneous acquisition of goods at the time of shipping either a digital or physical product. while yes I agree, it's hard to divvy up this promotion to the whole of Europe but they did say they were working on alternative methods for different countries.

It a lose-lose situation for SE, they lose this way and if they came out and said sorry we can't make it work so can't do the promo for EU then people would of got mad for that also.

Firstly, that doesnt even begin to include all the countries I've mentioned.

Secondly, do you honestly think that making someone from anywhere else in the world import a gaming magazine is at all practical to begin with? When other regions complain you jump on them and say to wait their turn when I mention that even then some regions still aren't covered you link me to a site that I've already read by now.

Atleast allow me to give them a possible alternative to this taped together mess of a promo before you hound me with random links that have nothing to do with what I said tyvm!

Seriously, SE, if you want to have any hope of actually having a global promo you need to start talking to digital distributors or, heck, allow us to get a digital version of the magazine if you're so hard pressed on it.

we forced them? I dont believe anyone here forced SE to do anything. Yoshi told us if we had desire please let us know there is a damand so we know. So we did.

This is the thing SE needs to take from this.. if you have a multi region game and only give 1 of 3 regions something be prepared & commited to give the other 2 the items as well. Especially when you asked us to "let us know". Other wise don't even start the promotions in the first place.

Ehhh >_>

I would have rather bought a musical instrument from amazon.co.uk than this deal to buy a bunch of magazines which probably aren't even delivered to Finland (not that I would read them anyway). I'm happy to spend money on things I support but a random magazine isn't one. Can we have the option to just give the money to SE and not include a mugshot? Or a UK Amazon deal similar to what the US got?

[Meckmillzuth]

Just throwing my hat into the ring with everyone else, this whole promotion is so miss-managed its funny. Personally the last time I brought a gaming magazine was 10 years ago when I didn't have internet. So not only does UK/EU have to fork over more then what US and Japan regions had to, you have to wait 3 months for all the items and send them a picture of the magazines to unlock the mount. Whats stopping people from borrowing there friends magazines and saying its theres for the mount? Whats stopping people from just going into a store and jotting down all the codes from each magazine? Yaw-ho sucks be the guy who brought that one! What if they don't stock that magazines in any of the stores? Not only that at the end of it I'm stuck with 3 magazines I'm most likely never going to read from a shady magazine company that's been caught in a scandal before.

No thanks SE. Try again.

totally agreed with this, i read it somewhere in live letter that let them know the demand on the community forum, so we have show them our demand.. and so the promotion method should be similar, not too big difference like now..

[Knahli]

I honestly don't know what you are all talking about. I watched the Live Letter and it was said right then and there that events for the other regions would be held at a later date. No-one asked or coerced SE into bringing these events to other regions, people just came rushing to complain right off the bat without having all the information after seeing the slide that mentioned the initial 7/11 event was JP exclusive.

[Skivvy]

Some people tend to take the "triggered" approach and have the need to add insults when their points are somewhat invalid and more so, tend to forget that despite JP, EU or NA servers aside, we are all a community. I'm sick and tired of seeing replies of the "Too bad, so sad" or "well crying about it isn't going to help you" variety from one group.

Keep in mind guys, we were ALL fussing about this before we even had a promotion. Since half of North America got the opportunity to score the Amazon promotion, the mindset now I am seeing is "Ha-Ha losers!"

We were ALL in the same boat. EU's still in that boat. We shouldn't be pointing, laughing and telling them to basically suck it up.

Square-Enix - throw them a frickin' bone here..

I've been trying to keep up with the thread today, and honestly it seems like most people are on the side of "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING". Plenty of NA players, including myself, think this is horribly unfair.
