The whale mount is up on Mogstation

[Stormfur]

I kind of wish it was a reward from the last survey of submersibles, like the Bennu was for airships.

[Luin]

I kind of wish the Whale mount wasn't a whale.

Everyone should buy this mount so SE can invest the profits back into FFXIV.

It's a cool looking mount, but I probably wouldn't pick it up unless it was on sale. I'd be far more likely to buy the Red Hare at full price.

Them new house walls are nice though, I will give them that.

So we don't get any new glamour gear for All Saints Wake and now none on the MogStation. The apocalypse is starting....

[Sigma-Astra]

I'm not going to knock it, but that whale is awesome...

So they put a $30 mount on the Mogstation and yet their archaic servers can't even keep the game online for over a month and every event this year has been garbage with mediocre rewards? How the hell are their priorities so messed up.

I KNOW RIGHT?! How dare a company in China develop a mount for FF14 and implement it on their servers months ago and then, ON TOP OF THAT, SE has the freaking nerve to license it and make it available to the rest of the playerbase! Especially when they KNEW that they were going to be DDoSed weeks or even months after putting this in motion! The gall of them! You should just unsub right now, that'll show them.

IIRC the Chinese and Korean publishers pay SE to make extra stuff for their cash shop.

A company in China didn't make it, SE made it, the Chinese company paid them to make it for them.

IIRC the Chinese and Korean publishers pay SE to make extra stuff for their cash shop. They get paid to make it, then get us to pay them again.

Pretty much why I knew from the get-go it'd be mogstation. I don't think they've ever released any of the Koren/Chinese developed stuff as in-game rewards, but I might be wrong. It's a simple case of parity between versions. The other regions had to pay for it on cash shop, so naturally we will too.
