Veteran Rewards

[Shougun]

If the rate isn't bad what I'm hoping is they turn the veteran reward system more into a Kupo Cash system, where they sometimes add stuff to the shop (like Cloud Outfit) but instead if you didn't like what they added you could buy that Slepninr mount or whatever else instead. Like a few Vet rewards I didn't dislike but just knew I wasn't going to touch, but in this system I'd still be happy because even if I don't spend it this second I might see something interesting down the line a bit (or know that one seasonal item I just got to have will come up soon).

The issue here is they might make the rate so bad it takes you two years to buy Slepninr, or they fall in love with the system so much there is a unique thing being added every week and they lose focus on the main game lol.

However if they can go at it reasonably (imo) then it could be quite nice. As theoretically it would encourage people to visit the shop, encouraging those who would spend money to spend money, those who would but thought it was too much could use the KC to supplement their purchases (making items feel less expensive sometimes), and those who never ever would spend money and loathe the shop would still be able to enjoy things from the shop (like exclusive mounts are no longer barred for these players, just need time subscribed and not to spend it on other things) - reducing the amount of hate they have for it (just be careful of consumables lol, in fact I still would love to see the dyes moved into a permanent tab).

Didn't they say they were starting a new time-line of veteran rewards. Which would be more friendly for new players.

Yeah, something about having rewards on interval rather than on total time. Which leaves a lot of room for interpretation, but sounds better to me since you might push players out who loved Aerith to death (lol) but get shocked that they cannot have the costume at all until 5 years cumulative time subscribed meanwhile they joined yesterday and the game is 6 years old already.

So interval will be much better for that

FFVII was my first real JRPG and almost my last thanks to Aerith's story. I was younger and mor easily drawn into the characters an story I guess, but what happened to her actually stopped me from playing FFVII beyond a certain point. I've never had the heart to go back and play further. If her outfit was a vet reward, I would do whatever was needed to obtain it for Kos.

Well, they said they were going to switch to a different system after the rank 13 (three years) reward of the Tantalus Attire. But now there's a rank 14 reward (for four years) of the Leonhart Attire. So it looks like they changed their minds and decided to keep the overall system after all. It's just the interval at which new ones are earned has lengthened again. (That, too, was actually an already established pattern, going from 1 month to 3 months to 4 months apart. This was just a bigger jump, boosting it to a year apart between new rewards.)

A once a year veteran reward ought to be bloody amazing...well, one can hope.

They said Squall's outfit would be the last. So they didn't change their minds. I suspect, if they do bring it back, veteran players will get a voucher to get something off the mogstation.

tbh, im happy that theyre changing it up.

As someone whos glamour-crazy and who only started some time after HW has launched, it just really sucks
theres some rewards that are YEARS away from obtaining.

It will still take me 2 years or so to get the Leonhart attire and I want that chest piece so bad. I get it, i gotta "suck it up".
But at least theres an end in sight after that. Would hate it if there was even more to come.
Because it would mean that theres ALWAYS something light years away from me that I cant catch up on.

So I'm cool with changes to the system, really.

That's my sentiment as well. I adore the Leonhart top on Cassie but I'm years away from ever getting it. I really think a free mogstation item benefits everyone.

They said Squall's outfit would be the last.

And a year ago, they said Tantalus's outfit would be the last. They've already extended it to include Squall's for four years of a subscription, and they have nine more months before they need to decide if they'll extend it again for a five year reward.

Basically, until they actually implement a replacement version of veteran rewards, the safe bet is to just assume that "the last one" means the latest they've added so far. (And if they're going to yearly increments, then it would be quite a while before they add another rank anyway.)

I personally like the veteran rewards and think a system should remain in place for people that have played and stayed subbed to the game since 2.0 launch.

We better get something tbh I mean we've been loyal for aaagess. I feel as well that the actual rewards atm are a bit underwhelming
