Wind-up Yotsuyu minion will be for one character only!

[Legend-of-Mitsuki]

I bought this art book for my boyfriend as a birthday present the day it was released on the store under the assumption that the minion would be, as had been the case with all before it, available across his account on any and every char. To be quite frank, I feel cheated that this change has been added to the page nearly a month after its release, and there has been no communication from SE to explain that the change would be made and the reasons why.

I would like to further add to this that there is a multitude of reasons as to why people may want a minion or such on multiple characters, and they have every right to want that when there was a precedent set and the change happens without warning.

Square Enix, please, I implore you to reconsider this change. At the very least, please communicate and give us the real reason as to why this has changed and compensate those who have purchased the merchandise under false pretences.

The biggest annoyance for me is that the limitation on the one-per-character was added *after* I put my money down. The cached version of the SE page doesn't have the limitation on it, but the live one does.

Yes, people had checked the artbook page when the change to the orchestrion rolls for the Eorzean Symphony BluRay was noticed. At that time, there wasn't a notice (I believe) for the EU/JP pages. A few days later after the thread was made and moved, it has.

I'm not sure if this would work, but if certain items that go above a certain price range, are account-wide (Mainly the mounts) whats to say that items obtained from physical purchases should also count, or at least the rule should apply to every single one of them. Nobody is going to buy the odin statue six times for all their characters to have Zantetsuken. Even if it is a minion, the same principle should apply.

Whats to stop them from changing that too? So far they are 2 for 2 out of items released/ing that have changed to this method.

I am going to keep my eye on the 2nd print of the Odin statue and the Shiva statue store pages. No reason they wouldnt change those too.

This book is at least a hundred AUD - and that's if I buy online from the import bookstore in another state.
Mounts which are account-wide are at least 25-30 AUD, from the Mogstation. I cannot say that a book + minion is worth a hundred AUD to get on multiple characters. Which is a pity, because I can see this minion suiting multiple of my characters - across multiple server, so it's not even a roleplay thing. This is a poor choice from whoever made it, and I hope that it's not the case going forward. Even as a Carbuncle Lover, I would not have imported the plushes more then once to get them on all my Summoners and NPC Alts. In fact, I probably wouldn't have brought them in the first place.

And this is a similar situation.

It's pretty simple. I have and probably will buy things I want from the mog station. However, unless it's something specifically for a single character like a server transfer or a name change there is no reason for it to not be account wide. If they really think that it's important to have a single character version they should offer an account wide version for a higher/discounted price. SWTOR is a good example of that. As it stands I'm never going to purchase any glamour or minion or mount item that can only be applied to one character. So, even though I had planned on getting the art book, I won't be now.

[Glenfiddich]

As much as I like FF, this shady deal makes me angry. Even though I would never buy things like that. I'm sorry for all of you Hardcore Fans out there.
I wonder why Japan and NA are not affected. I would like to hear what Mr. "please look forward to it " has to say about that move.

I was rather shocked. Got the Symphony for a Christmas gift and started sweating bullets when I realized it was only for ONE character. I can't imagine how people who mess up directing the purchase might feel, especially if they cannot afford a second one. On premium items there shouldn't be this limit, especially where it was seemingly added as an afterthought.

I am going to keep my eye on the 2nd print of the Odin statue and the Shiva statue store pages.

Wait is a second printing of the Odin statue confirmed? I missed getting one and was genuinely sad because I wanted it for itself and not just the emote.

wouldn't mind having the minion as like to collect them but unlike you guys ain't giving SE more $$ for some art book just for a minion when they could put said minions on the mog station for $5 or even $10 for those not interested in buying the music or art book or plush but want the minion
