Chinese costumes are out on Mogstation

[Chiramu]

Because China and Korea like the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom and Europe, have censorship laws.

World of Warcraft have Korean and Chinese clients and neither of these two countries are locked away from the rest of the world when they play WoW. I find it odd that Korea and China aren't allowed to play with the rest of us. I was looking forward to seeing K and C in the Duty Finder language list.

I don't think there anything nefarious about it. It is probably because SE does not have an in house localization team for Chinese and Korean. As a result they are behind us in patches and don't use the same version of the client we do.

While I have nothing against the cash shop as it is right now, I do think they are testing out what and how much people are willing to pay. It is a small-scale F2P test run imo (no, I do not want this game F2P).

I am just glad I am not interested in most of the things on the mog station, including the dress. The bottom part with those frills just looks bad.

That is pretty...

You people have complained for months about the region exclusives, things you weren't supposed to have. Then they add it to the game because of player feedback, and people are complaining again because of the price this time which I think is fair for bugging the team about this for so long, plus that it's never going to go away and you can buy it whenever you can afford it. The only problem I can see here really is that it's not account-wide.

Yes, "bugging" a company to sell us something. Oh, the humanity of it all! People aren't necessarily complaining because it came at a cost, but the cost is more than double every other glamour made available. Saying "well, it was supposed to be exclusive!" is rather flimsy, seeing you could make the same argument about Lightning's gear or even the Scion cosplay. Those were also only added due to player demand. Admittedly, the cost may be grudgingly tolerable to those of us with enough low leveled classes to make use of the added "perk." But for anyone buying this with all their jobs at 60 or not vested interest in leveling other jobs. That same "perk" is rendered meaningless.

Would be nice if you had the option to buy it with or without the bonuses if it meant the latter option would reduce its price.

Many people who complained for months, including myself, specifically said not to add it to the MogStation. Here are a few examples

Outfit looks great, but can we please stop asking for them to add MORE stuff to the Mogstation?? :| Maybe just have a Chinese New Year event and have it as a seasonal reward

I do mind. Ridiculous if they get it from an event and we would have to pay. We're paying the same subscription fee. This Mogstation milking has to slow down or preferably stop.

Agreed. I'd love to have these in the game, but not from the store. I already pay for content updates.

He want it from the mog shop, no like from me

Like this post if you want it ingame as a recipe or from Gold Saucer.

The problem, I guess, is that more people in that thread said they would pay for it. The demand was clearly there, so SE released it as a purchasable item. Now all the people who cried out that it should be in game are getting louder, while those who requested it are modeling it in game.

As an aside, the dress on the first post of that other thread is 10x better looking than the dress they implemented =(

so SE released it as a purchasable item.

It's unfortunately not as simple as SE deciding to release it. It's content that was exclusively designed for a specific region and thus held claim over it in its entirety. Due to the large demand for it, there was more than likely a push for negotiations to claim shared rights, however something like that does not come free, and if it's seen as desirable, does not come cheap. So this is not something they could have released for free without detriment. This is the catch when it comes to fighting for content exclusive to one place or another.

Who exactly has rights in the region? I would assume SE has those rights, and then can make whatever decision they want?
