Mogstation taking another step to the darkside

[Burmecia]

Hmm, this is how I understand seasonal stuff working: get it from seasonal event? Seasonal event item.
Any random mogstation bell or whistle? Mogstation bell/whistle, got nothing to do with seasonal event items.
Does having the mount to be Spriggan make it easter item? I don't think so maybe.
SB brought us fantasy world asia in form or Doma and Hingashi and Steppe and etcetc. We also saw some formerly China/Korea only very asia themed glamours put into Mogstation. Should they have placed even one of those glamours into game just because we were in middle of fantasy asia expansion?
Hmm, ya know what, maybe. Would not have minded at least one set to be purchasable with achievement points.

Funny enough, only think I would have rather seen in game was the dances. This is second time we get random silly dances put into Mogstation. Can we bring some back to Gold Saucer, pls?

I bought it.
I'm more than pleased as is my Lala (Though Fu is getting laughed at in parts of Norvrandt when his back is turned...)

The End.

I don't mind that the cash shop exists, but I do mind when items are added that have not, and never will be, available in-game. I have seen a lot more of that this past year, everything from minions and mounts. outfits to housing items. We could be using our acheivement points, or something similar to the itinerant moogle. If you don't want to "grind" it in-game, sure go and buy it instead, your choice.

Hypocrite at the best...
Especially when you are wearing a bunny suit that they just hand to you for free.
If that is the logic, we will never get any regional unique items from Japan, China, and Korea.

If you got problem with with cash shops, dont buy it.
Even netflix have to raise the monthly subscription fee to cover the rise in labor and cost.
Did S/E raise their subscription fee?
Just be happy that S/E at least is reasonable at mog station.
Go check Blizzard's re-skin mount that price at $35 to $40

Oh dear. Is name calling all you have?



Yes, you can still get those special items. You can buy the entire cash shop inventory for all I care. I did not say I thought the cash shop should be closed. I said there should be a choice - buy if you prefer, or earn in-game. For seasonal items, the chance to earn is gone, I'm fine with that as well. It's the items that have never been offered in-game that concern me.



and as for your other suggestion, I have never used the cash shop, and never will.

"Should"
So such a lovely world for people with entitlement mindset.
Government should bla bla bla
Teacher should bla bla bla
A school should bla bla
A magic world can ignore all other factors that changing and shaping the reality.
This is a word used by people who acts on his or her own stated beliefs or feelings
Who is name calling here? I only describing a fact

Here's a big hint. Don't call someone a hypocrite and then pretend you are the one being offended. The term for that is gaslighting. That's a fact.



I don't agree with you. That does not make me entitled, or a hypocrite, nor anything else you wish to call me.



What you need to do now is get over it.

[SassyAssassin]

To be fair, ffxiv gives SO many mounts SO many free beautiful costumes you can farm or buy with in game currency that those extras on mogstation items dont bother me at all.

[YatoShishi]

i always liked the fact that when you missed out on a seasonal event that you still have the chance to buy it. in my opinion they did not have to add seasonal items at all after its over.

I'm just going to make an assumption here: I have a feeling some people on this thread, like OP, 1) plays on console and 2) watches certain videogame commentators on YouTube. I won't say names, but someone mentioned the name of an overweight Brit with red-tinted sunglasses. Him, a Korean guy with glasses from Venezuela (who looks like Hideo Kojima) and a constantly angry Puerto Rican dude are among them. I bring this up, because those channel cover topics about DLC, gotcha games, monetization schemes, lootboxes, greedy companies, price gouging, microtransactions, done by companies like Activation and EA. If these YouTubers go on a topic like, say, overpriced dlc, some players on this forum look to the mogstation items and make comparisons. (Why is this COD map pack $13.99 and my FFXIV glam is $18?)

But here's the thing: the games these YouTubers discuss AREN'T mmos. For one thing, FFXIV doesn't have loot boxes. I'd rather spend $24 on a mount than spend $24 towards RNG to get a low-chance shot at the mount. If that $24 is used up without getting the mount, you'll spend another $24 to another chance. As someone here mentioned, for as much money as FFXIV makes, they also have a ton of costs. They have to keep their servers running for many years past the initial release, make content for each patch and expansion, and fund other projects. Regular console games by comparison don't need the same high cost to maintain their online services. The online of a Call of Duty game will last between 1 to 2 years. By comparison, FFXIV is 10 years. Tell me which one costs more to maintain? It's why DoA6's over $1200 of was criticized. The developers DON'T need that much money and the game won't last more than 3 years. Team Ninja recently announced that they're ending it's dlc support. So when TN and the community moves on to DoA7, after it comes out on PS5, DoA6's online support will drop and all the money spent on DoA6's dlc goes down the drain.

I should also mention that FFXIV never sold DRK, RDM, or DNC separately as dlc, which every single fighting game does nowadays. And for fighters, you HAVE to spend money on each character to understand match ups. You'll be hard-pressed to beat Gill or Seth in Streetfighter V, without the dlc to study the characters. The mogstation's non-mandatory cosmetics can't even compare to that.


Not everything SE did was good, but FFXIV can't be compared to Fortnite, Monster Hunter, or any console game in terms of it content costs. So stop it.
