Dont Lock Emotes To Extremely Exensive Merchandise

Maybe the OP just wants them to eventually sell the emote in the cash shop? Honestly, if enough people request it, SE will eventually do it. Free money after all.

I doubt it. Not a single merchandise bonus item is in the CS yet. Not even Asuran Armguard, and that is 6 years old (bonus item was included in the first print of FF XIII PS3)

Last i checked i'm buying a figure not an emote.
The emote is a BONUS for buy the figure.

If you want something bad enough, your willing to pay for it.

I wish they wouldn't lock exclusives in game things behind an expensive item as well. I do like to collect mounts, minions and emotes in game and I don't want a giant expensive statue. That's my two cents.

Get a job like a normal adult?

Spoken like someone without real responsibilities. Some odd us do have good jobs and have things like you know bills. 150 is just a tad ridiculous to expect the masses top purchase.

Link me to this statue. I want to buy 14!

[Lunafreya]

The price is justified for the statue as you aren't paying for the emote. It is as simple as that. The statue is also very well crafted and had lots of care put into it so this gets a free pass, imo. Something like the dress which is 18 dollars doesn't though.

I just looked up the statue and $100 seems fair. That tends to be the going price for detailed collectibles like this. The emote is really a just fun little thing they added on to the purchase.

That the statue is worth it, doesn't change the fact, that it locks the emote behind a huge ammount of money.

Just look at the maid outfit and stuff.
Nobody said 'Oh well, it's only for those people who like that magazine. Don't argue the price since you are not buying the in-game stuff itself, you're buying a magazine and those maid stuff is just bonus.'

It's a bundle. You can think of that what you want (like I don't care that much about such stuff), but don't deny that fact.
If you buy a collecters edition it's the same. You get the main game and some stuff 'as bonus'. But you [i]paid for that[\i].
There is just no statue without emote (like there is a 'game without extra stuff' = normal edition), so some people seem not be able to see it.
You bought HW CE? You 'bought' the gryphin mount.
You buy the statue? You 'bought' the emote.

Luckely the promotion where I live didn't force me to buy magazines. I bought the new Deus Ex game which I wanted anyway. So for me the attire was a bonus.
If it had still been a magazine (3 for everything if I remember correct) I would probably not get it due to the waste of money on something I would not use.
