Is there an error with the requirements for rank 14? 360 days?

Why is it not 120 like the others?

Don't even get me started lol.

I want rank 14 for Squall's outfit.

They've run out of ideas for Veteran Rewards & plan to abolish them altogether. This might even be the last one. They're trying to stretch out what they have. I'm annoyed too as I've not missed a single day's payment since I began playing so should have loyalty recognised, especially when others only subscribe for the month of large patches. /stompsoff

I'm betting that they'll tie some of the Veteran rewards to the Mog Store when they eventually revamp the system.

My idea is that instead of being X days subbed to reach the next tier of rewards, you earn the rewards by spending X amount of cash either through subscription, Additional Services, or Optional items. And once you hit a certain amount of cash spent, you earn a token to redeem for one of the sets of Veteran Rewards and have those added to your account. Once you choose a set you'd have to spend X more cash to hit the next threshold to get another Veteran Token.
