I am getting a good laugh out of this.

Why did they even region lock anything to begin with?

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])

What the....its character based? Are you freaking kidding me? People threw their toys from the pram over the cost of the twin seat moogle, but that was account wide at least. For $18 for a fingle outfit, account wide should be an absolute. If it were character only I'd have expected $10 or less for the outfit.

I mean granted, I play my alts a tiny fraction of the time I play Kos, but still, for $18 it damn well should be account wide.

They're basically propping up the EXP bonus and idea of it being a premium item to argue the cost.

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.

Yeesh, that's a pretty weak argument. Oh well, my MRD is still under 30...

Still ridiculous though.

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.

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

Sorry about the misinformation

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.
