Chinese costumes are out on Mogstation

Wow people will find anything to cry about. If you don't like it, DON'T BUY IT, if you think it's expensive then DON'T BUY IT. No one is putting a gun to your head and telling you to spend your hard earn cash on it.

That aside, people are providing feedback. Chill

Because for $15 you get a pretty impressive array of content, at a fairly reasonable rate of time (patches are what, a couple months apart?) Compare that to your "cheap" option of paying WoW gold for your sub, which, for a year+ prior to Legion's release, got you fuck all for content, so... yeah, that's kind of a wash.

Obviously that's subjective, and I'm sure there's plenty of people who would disagree that the content offered in FFXIV is "impressive" but hey, can't please everyone all the time.

I think objectively, WoD and Heavensward put out very similar amounts of content. Most of Warlords content was front loaded. WoD had way more raid bosses, for example.

$15 is a decent price tag, and one I do not mind paying for both games. That said, that subscription is paid with the expectation that all content is included. There are plenty of other B2P and F2P games with lots of content that are free monthly. (http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm)

18.00 USD isn't terrible considering it's a cosmetic and optional item; I bought one because it fit within my "I buy stupid stuff in video games" budget.

At one point there were many on the forums that asked for items and said they would pay for them, thus the cash shop model was introduced to FFXIV. Some here continued to say they would pay for items if SE would release them, and so more items were added. While it was not every person who plays (obviously), people got what they asked for. They continue to get what they ask for, if they are willing to pay as some say they are. This is not a new concept and SE/FFXIV are not the only P2P game that does it. On WoW 10$ for a pet, $25 for a mount, 15$ just for a glamour head piece.

If it didn't work then the game industry wouldn't do it. It works, so they do. If I find interest in it and I feel it's worth the money (and I have it) I'll buy it. If I don't think it's worth what they are asking then I don't and just let it go.

I am getting a good laugh out of this.

Why did they even region lock anything to begin with?

Because China and Korea like the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom and Europe, have censorship laws. These countries also have differing values on what counts as obscene, how socially acceptable it is and how free writers, authors and artists should be. Korea and China's happen to interfere with the inclusion of certain elements of the game (The Gold Saucer I think was ought right cut form those versions because of gambling laws)The items in question were made to compensate for these (somehow. IIRC correctly at least one of these versions had an alternate way of getting the items like Fenrir and such. On the other hand its likely that China might had banned stuff like the Bunny outfits due to the heavy gambling association, geopolitical problems or due to their opinions on sexuality [this might also affect the Swimwear and Thavnarian Dancer set])

This is incorrect, nothing at all has been 100% cut from the game (at least the chinese version) and very little has even been modified. The gold saucer in its entirety including outfits is in the chinese version.

Huh, well that blows the "compensating for cut content" argument out the window.

Sorry about the misinformation
