Carbuncle mounts have arrived!

[Bourne_Endeavor]

Couldnt say if any better myself. I love FF but they have started being no better that the EA or Activision. The increase in outfits, emotes and recycled seasonal items is appalling and all this from a company that still wants you to pay for your space in-game. Some free to plays dont even ask you to do that! Its becoming apparent that SE is getting greedy af...$18 for an outfit? I could get 3 outfits in Warframe with change to spare and its a F2p.

Comparing the Mogstation to EA or Activision's practices shows a complete lack of awareness regarding said practices. EA built an entire game where your only means of progression is an enormous grind or to pay for the mere chance at actually getting what you want. Activision, through Budgie, reduced endgame EXP without saying a word and when caught, promptly doubled the requirements. Now do explain how a vanity item that serves no function beyond your standard Chocobo compares to either Stars Wars: Battlefront II or Destiny? If Eureka releases with lootboxes and has a substantially higher level than even Savage, then you can make this comparison.

As for carving out content. These items are specifically designed for the sole purpose of making additional profit. If the Mogstation didn't exist neither would these mounts. While some companies are more exploitative than others, DLC and micro-transactions are generally developed separately to keep a game profitable beyond its initial release. If people ever mass boycotted to the point neither were profitable, they wouldn't just gift you the content as a reward in-game. They wouldn't make it to begin with.

"Just vanity" is a bad argument, aesthetics and customization are a core aspect of the experience. Also, FFXIV cash shop is no longer vanity only.

And the overwhelming majority of vanity is released with patch cycles or expansions. You still get your core aspect. Just not necessarily everything. Do tell how it isn't vanity only. Nothing on the Mogstation influences endgame whatsoever.

Oh good, I am too. I was kinda worried for a moment.

Edit: They're probably selling a lot of them at the second and the servers are trying to catch up.

YASSS!!! I've been waiting for this for SO LONG.

[Awahtochchina]

[LittleChickenNugget]

I am disappointed too. I really wish they'd make things like mounts available in game. Unfortunately Squeenix is far too greedy to do that.
