Veteran rank 14

[MilesSaintboroguh]

I sorta understand it, would be cool if they gave us phantasias or something after rank 14 as a little bonus instead.

That seems like a very lame reward, especially since the Fantasias are the first reward you get in the chain. After getting stuff like glamours and mounts, a fantasia I might never use would be the most disappointing reward for rank 14.

I don't really understand people obsession with fantasias.

My understanding, second hand as it was, was that they intend to have some alternate system to replace the current one at some point.

According to latest information, rank 14 is reward for 1440 days/4 years. Nobody is there yet. It is Squall outfit. And yes, that is going to be the last one for now.

The veteran reward system is a cute but highly unneeded bonus for people that stay subbed. I felt no particular way about it. People seem to like it so why mess with it? However, I strongly dislike the new "I'm offended" culture that seems to be spreading now. We don't need to tear down every single thing that offends people.

I will give a constructive solution though! Just add all this veteran stuff to the cash shop! BAM! solved. If you stay subbed long enough, there ya go buddy, free cash shop stuff. Oh, you are jealous of some guy's fancy shirt? You devil you, just go buy one for 5$ on mogstation.... Everyone happy...people clap, curtain closes.

Wouldn't that defeat their purpose, being rewards for veterans and all? I'd prefer with what the stuck with now and this is coming from someone quite a ways behind (780 days atm) that would have never caught up had they kept going. WoW gave away a statue to those subscribed for a very long time with minimal or no breaks since the game launched and I didn't see anyone complain on their forum other than those miffed that they were unsubbed for 2 or so months during the 10 year period. It's a costume, barding or minion that those JP players will get eventually, you don't get everything instantly by throwing $5-30 at it in an MMORPG.

The token system for future veteran rewards is a good one though. Maybe they could finally implement more than just male characters in that case, as you'd be able to pick your rewards (though the outfits should work on both genders either way).

Hmm, where to begin, those few of us that have been here from the beginning have played or at least sub'd even when the servers go quiet, which they inevitably do, is there something wrong with getting a reward that says thankyou for staying? Granted it is exclusive, even more so the longer you play. To me personally it shows SE are at least thinking of long term players and not just the new

Where are you getting "a lot" from? It's not like the JP are asking for all veteran rewards to be available from day 1, and it was Yoshida himself that said they will continue giving rewards using a different format while rank 14 would be the last of this format.

If we consider new players buy the Collectors edition of both ARR and HW, they are already getting a lot of items for a starter, Veteran rewards would make it even more items, therefor "a lot".

[ifrit616]

So if SE want to abandon the current veteran rewards because it too exclusive and newer players don't want to wait for them, when is SE gunna give away Mogstation items that have been there for 3 years to players who game on a budget and can't afford to spend money on exclusive stuff
