    For the fanfest Yuna outfit.....

    Why can't I just buy this separately? All I want is the minion and the outfit but I have to pay for a whole archived stream I don't even need. I think this is pretty stupid. If the option for the stream is there why not just be able to purchase the bonus as a separate thing entirely? If I buy the whole stream for this it costs like 50 CAD over here and I'm really not going to be spending all that money on 2 items which I could get separate from the stream itself. I know Square Enix won't do this but really...... I'm disappointed the offer is only on the stream.

    And you think I don't know that? I'm talking about the archived stream that is available until August. Why do we have to buy the whole stream still if the content is already known? Can't they just separate the things or would that be too much to ask? I've been looking places for discounts and I'm having no luck.

    Just want to hop in and point out that these streams were advertised as $30 and you would get the minion and outfit for free. Some people want to look at it like "you paid $30 for an outfit" which really isn't the case. You never know, the outfits and minions may be added to the MB later. I honestry bet they don't even have idividual listing prices ready for these rewards yet.

    Those items are tied to attending the Fanfest(s) - getting them by buying the stream is just a way of getting them if you didnt go to one. As far as I'm aware the stream doesnt only include "information" (apart from the real info-part aka the letter of the producer being free anyways) but content like the concerts etc.
    You're not paying for the minion and the outfit, thats something you're doing on the mogstation, you're paying for the content in the stream and get those as a bonus.
    Do you get them as a bonus so you'll buy the stream? Surely. But are you paying for those or for the stream?

    Also: they were markted as "exclusive", so why would SE seperate them?

    So yes, this is to much to ask - you basically want to rip open a package and only pick the things you like - I'll try that next time I go and buy some gummibears because I only like the yellow ones, so why should I pay for the whole package?
    (Or, to stay closer to SE: I do like Y'stolas boots but the rest of the outfit just doesnt go to well with a Roegadyn - so even if I dont want the other content, I'd still pay for it and GET it, because its a package)

    I doubt it, tbh - we never saw the moogle outfit that they got 2(?) years ago added - and I also think they shouldnt add them. They were advertised as something exclusive and tied to the FanFests - so can we please, please just let them stay that way?

    Same reason they charge $7 for a emote or $30 for a mount cause they know people will still buy it.

    because there in game rewards for attending fanfest or buying the stream ticket and watching the stream. If you want them then suck it up and buy the stream because there a side reward(/thank you) for attending there big event either in person or by watching the stream. Its the same as getting the minion for buy the plush carbuncals or the book

    Probably won't ever see it separated from the stream or discounted, as people who bought the stream for $30 solely for the outfit/minion would feel slighted. There's also no precedent for this, as previous stream only items (like the moogle suit) have never been made available elsewhere/cheaper.
