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

[worldofneil]

(Following on from the thread where the recent codes with the Eorzean Symphony were for a single character only)

Square Enix have updated their stores and it's now confirmed that the Yotsuyu minion that comes with the upcoming artbook (Stormblood Art of the Revolution - Western Memories) will also be for a single character only:

* JP: http://store.jp.square-enix.com/item/9784757556140.html
* UK: https://store.eu.square-enix.com/uk/...stern-memories
* EU: https://store.eu.square-enix.com/eu/...stern-memories
* NA: https://store.na.square-enix.com/pro...ories-art-book

Please reconsider this decision Square Enix! One account can have 40 characters, do you expect us to buy the physical product multiple times to get it on all our characters?

For over 4 years these items have always been account wide, so the big question I have to wonder... why the change? Are SE intending for in-game items to be single character only going forward? What about future promotional mounts/outfits? (like in the past the Original Fat Chocobo and Cloud mounts for example).

I don't know how many of us actually buy these products just for the in-game items, but if this change will affect your decision to purchase, please reply here!

Edit 1: The NA store is also now updated to say that it's for a single character only
Edit 2: Reply from SE (quoted here), they're not changing it and implies going forward will be the same for at least all bonus items.
