Dont Lock Emotes To Extremely Exensive Merchandise

[OMGAFLYINGPENGUIN]

Get a job like a normal adult?

Uh lol, I'm from a first world country. But with the recent brexit that has increased the value of major currencies, the odin statue costs 263 SGD here. For your info Cait sith costs 90SGD due to shipment and tax here. For every plushie I purchase I can actually get another one.

Btw for malaysians that's 800RM, that's how much two traffic officers make in a month. While I'm not really keen on this or act like I'm entitled to everything, I do think that your reasoning is illogical because you're forgetting not everyone has access to purchasing this without the means of 3rd party. Personally I do think the prices of items are alittle too much, there are too much things locked behind real money purchase (Which is well, your DLC) and it has been happening way too often.

I have a good job for a fresh graduate, in a sense I can afford the things that interests me but that doesn't mean I shouldn't empathise nor close an eye when there is something I feel is becoming unethical.

Tsuyoshi may I ask how you ship the items over to Singapore?

Mind making and sharing a gif or video of how the emote even looks? I'm curious as to what it is OP craves soooo badly.

It's not even that impressive. Your character does the circular weapon spin of Zantetsuken then Odin's symbol appears and your character cuts it in half anime-style. It's neat, but hardly worth getting upset over. Me? I bought the statue for the statue.

I do wonder if cash shop profit goes directly to FF 14 dev team, while FF14 sale and subs go to SE where they then give the team a set budget? Since they did say that it was thanks to cash shop profits that they were able to get EU servers.

Yeah, but we also had to cut a dungeon from ex roulette and hear "we don't have resources for this" very often.

It just went up for pre order for the NA store yesterday, no date when it will be shipped yet.

See OP this is exactly what happens in this forum if you complain about things. Instead of trying to find a good argument some people love to throw things like "get a job" at you. Maybe this gives a little understanding for the next thread that you find to be about too much complaining .

But I agree with you..I have nothing against merchandise, I even purchased some of them too. They could put them out for 200$ and I would not care, because if I want it I could save up over time or wait for a discount some month later. But those that come with a ingame item are often restricted. I am not sure if this Odin is limited orders only but the code at least will only be there till the end of 2018. This might be a long time for some but for people that need to save quite some money for this, this might be not enough. (And anyone that got the game after that will miss out of this..at least with veteran rewards or even the cash shop you can still get those items..)

And attacking the OP because he bought the livestream for the fanfest is really low..you know that this cost way much less money than the statue? (No shipping costs..) Maybe they got it as a present from someone, or maybe they saved up for this for some time?

Why exactly do they need to put all those ingame items behind it? Are they afraid that otherwise people wont buy it? And if someone only buys this for the figurine than shouldnt it be okay to just put the emote as a extra in the mogstation for some dollar? I mean if everyone here argues that the emote is kinda free and not the reason why they would buy it, than it shouldnt be a problem if others can only buy the emote right? I am quite sure that there will be some of those that would complain that they suddenly could not feel special anymore if that would be the case. So dear SE: Please just put all those merchandise ingame items in the mogstation too! It seems that people only buy this for the merchandise and it seems that for them the items are only a free present anyway so wouldn't it be better if you give them those items free with the merchandise and sell it to us as a extra in the mogstation? Win win for everyone.(And lets see how many people are suddenly like: "No they will take my special ingame items away from me because anyone can get them now!")

As someone that likes to collect minions, scrolls, emotes and so on these merchandises are always a very big annoyance..either because I came to late to the game and the merchandise does not have the items anymore since they were limited thus having no chance at all to buy them (and making the argument, you can buy them later not relevant anymore...) or they are way too expensive for a single emote. (And IMO the Odin statue looks kinda ugly..so I would not have bought it anyway.)

Does SE really need so much money for this game that a sub and a pricey cash shop is not enough? I know they are a company and want to make as much money as possible (nothing wrong with that) but its getting kinda tiresome that if you want to have every minion in the game you also need to buy lots of real live expensive merchandise too..

Its sad that some people cant understand that collecting minions and glamour is the part of the game that is fun for other people. I dont care much about savage, but I really love to get minions and yet I will never able to get them all, either because I dont have the money for it right now or because I came to late to buy a real life item..Does this make the game unplayable for me? No! But its a annoyance for me...Well I still hope for the day where we could buy something like weapons from cash shop..only to have all those people that said that this is no problem, come to the forum to complain about it. Than I can finally use the very bad argument: "But you don't have to buy them!"

Another fusion between 2 companies if this game fails ? Waiting for it !
