Fat cat mount?

[XiXiQ]

I have no issue with the cashshop, if people want to throw money as SE I don't care. However, there shouldn't be anything "optional" in the cash shop you cannot earn in-game if you prefer that route.

I actually like the way they do it with seasonal items: make it available in game for a while and then sell it on the mog station after it is no longer available in game. It becomes a reward for people who are subscribed at the time of the seasonal events.

Pretty sure the fatter cat mount was actually a simultaneous release. The Chinese announcement video I linked earlier in the thread had 2.26 as a date.

The mount was released earlier for China (roughly a week before us) so not quite simultaneous. Also some other links in this thread that you might have missed.

Then what is the 2.26 date? Those links are all referring to the video I posted when China had their own live letters -announcing- the fatter cat mount. You realize the blog link and the youtube video all include the same video shown in the live letter that is in the video with the 2.26 date?

In fact, from the very link you re-quoted:


In the promotion trailer:

"2/26" It literally says release on Feb 26th. Along with the fatter cat being a useless glutton and how its tail is wagging and meow meow meow

See now I'm thinking, did I mix it up with the Sage mount which was available earlier, but definitely the Chinese did get official confirmation the cat mount was coming whilst the other versions of the game didn't (we only know from datamining and seeing it after maintenance it actually was coming). So in that case Chinese players knew they would have to pay for it as opposed getting it for free in-game that some players here would have preferred. I mean you wouldn't tell one market to cough up dough but give it for free to another. Anyway possibly misread on my side, but we still were the last to know in official capacity at least

The Sage mount has been in China's game for like 3 years now. https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...dded_on_china/

No disputing Chinese players got word of it first. No one thought we would get practically a simultaneous release since we thought it would be a couple weeks because of how Indigo Whale was released. The point I made was to say the release was done at the same time. They made the announcement and everyone who saw that announcement, or the datamines, knew that it was an extreme long shot that the mount would not be in the mogstation, ESPECIALLY, after the announcement on the Chinese live letter.

I find this game gives way more in game stuff on a regular basis than just about any other MMO i played

we just got the seiryu + kyubi mounts, ozma mount, hydatos mount, and rival wings mount and the only one anyone cares about is the cat from the mogstation for some reason ;o

Seiryu is the seventh recolor of the same dog mount that's been in the game since 4.0
Kyubi and Ozma are just the respective bosses with zero changes (Ozma is kinda cool though)
The Hydatos and Rival Wings mounts are just recolors/slightly touched up versions of mounts already in the game.

Fatter Cat is a completely original mount with new animations , a new model with a completely original rig, sound effects...

How anyone can call this fair is beyond me.

Fatter cat is just the fat cat minion scaled up, with slight touch ups.

To be fair. I'd probably have paid 24 bucks for the Ozma mount too if it was on the mogstation. I'd absolutely rather spend 24 bucks than run Eureka--that's for dang sure!

I'm kinda surprised they don't add the old trial mounts to the mog station. Delay it off course, but like how they add the ability to buy them with 99 totems. Maybe after a year--just throw them on the mog station entirely. I can only imagine the mad money Square-Enix would bring in with that kind of plan though. Or maybe lower them to like 10 dollars per mount instead of 24. The holiday items are a fraction of the non-holiday items in cost. So I could see that!
