In game mog kiosk?

Even if they didn't add this, I'd be happy as long as someone made a dressing room feature like WOWHead has on their website. It might not be ingame but it's still pretty handy.

You go to sites like Eorzea Collection to look at glamour ideas and it's mostly full of people trying to make cool poses in the images so you can't even see the full costume or they are shot in horrible lighting conditions :\ it's really frustrating when trying to look for glamour ideas outside of game.

So yeah I'd really like to see an ingame glamour dressing room system or one set up externally online like WOWhead or even some type of dressing room linked up with the Eorzea database.

Great Idea and props for sharing it OP.

My thought is, we don't need instant in-game access to a cash shop when most all of the items we have available right now could be argued to not be outright pay-to-win. I would see an in-game button as a potential tool to coax players into, say, buying something rather than farming it, and I'd hate to see this game get to the point that players are able to hit a cash shop button and bypass relevant gameplay. The leveling/story-skipping potions are bad enough as it is.

Eh? Unless you're talking about jump potions, everything else in there is either exclusive glamour-only items or past seasonal events that will not be available in the future.

There is literally nothing remotely close to pay-to-win items in the cash shop excluding jump potions, which aren't the case because they only catch you up to the most recent expansion - they don't put you ahead.
Regarding jump potions themselves, it's a pretty huge journey from lvl 1 to 70 and the story that goes along with it. I am totally not surprised that people use jump potions to skip a bunch of that.
I wouldn't personally, but they are there for a reason and they haven't destroyed the game or anything . . .

Well, like I said, it's arguable. You've just supplied the argument. As to whether or not those potions approach pay to win, that's up to personal perspective. They do help newer players catch up to their friends and whatnot, but I feel that there are changes that could have been made to the same effect without pushing those players toward the cash shop. For instance, we didn't have to be fully leveled to 60 and finished with both ARR and HW questlines in order to access SB - that was a choice made by SE. FFXI never required that level of completion for any of its expansions. I remember reading in an interview somewhere that the devs weren't initially planning to gate SB so severely.

I'd expect an in-game cash shop button to be accompanied by ads pointing to it, but also by game content designed to make it more appealing in the same way that the jump potions were accompanied by an insane level/story grind. And if anything, I wouldn't want to be pestered by all of that each time I log in.

I just wish you didn't have to re-enter your CC info for EVERY individual purchase like it's 1998.

Honestly a little NPC that lets you see Mogstation items would be fine by me. Not just to try on gear, but seeing other account details could be rather useful.

[Jandor]

No thanks, the lack of any actual presence in game is probably the best thing about the mogstation.

[Sandpark]

Ewww. The only thing remaining that makes this feel like a sub only game is no in game shop.

This is probably the only game I would pay a sub for when I can afford it. I turn off recomendations because it feels like an ad. Can I turn off this in game shop?

You will still have to visit mog station to buy the crystas.
And if you are on mogstation to buy crystas, you can also visit the shop on mog station at the same time.
So, no need for it to be payable ingame.
But maybe let Rowena wear the newest glamour?


Another thing, I wish we can just buy a coupon on mogstation, give the coupon to a NPC ingame to unlock the glamour in his shop and he let us buy the glamour for gil everytime we want.
So we don't have to save up the glamour gear all the time, because it would be a waste of money to throw them away.
