    That is the point of the purchase just like the Odin Statue last year was as well. The emote is just a bonus for making such a pricey investment. If anyone acts like the emote itself is $120 they're delusional.

    I'm pretty sure people care about the emote much more than about the statue. Not many would buy the statues without that emote bonus, so it's main incentive.

    Nah, the emote is a major incentive. It serves as extra encouragement for people with a disposable income to make the purchase if they want something very exclusive to use in-game.

    Yet quite some people already wrote that they would buy the statue even without the emote and on top of that those are limited anyway. So you will probably have some that only bought them for the emote but you will have more than enough that would have bought it without them.

    They could simply put the emote in the mog station after some time. So people would have their exclusive emote for some time and yet others still get the chance to own them. And all those that did not get the chance to own the statue (because its limited) or just want the emote thus did not buy it would then spend money on this too so even more money for SE.

    Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
    A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.

    The sad irony is that a lot of the people complaining about the emote being tied to the statue would continue to complain if it had been a Mogstation purchase, saying that it should have been included in the game for free.



    I don’t care about the exclusivity of DLCs; I think they should be made available via several venues (e.g., plushies, statues, art books, albums, Mogstation). But a lot of people just want everything for free. SE is a business. If people stopped buying external DLCs, SE would just stop allocating the funds to even make them—they wouldn’t automatically become available for free in-game: they just wouldn’t be made at all.

    Well yes before all of that I would have wished for this to be ingame. (Like defeat Shiva x time or something like that) But I do understand that it would not be coming ingame after it got attached to the statue. So no I dont believe that many would complain after it was known that it would also be put on the mog station.

    Honestly if the statue would be available all the time people could have saved their money for this over time..but since its probably limited again you will simply not get it if you are not fast enough. So using it as a incentive to sell the statue is just bad..I mean if nobody wants to buy a limited statue without the emote then you kinda have to question if its too expensive..because stuff like that tend to sell just because its limited..
