Thoughts on the new Mogstatoin look? [FFXIV store ]

[StriderShinryu]

It's not necessarily bad but it feels a little too similar to the old one. Still some missing features like no search. I hope this new version means a more stable starting point for more actual changes and improvements in the future.

The name also feels a little weird to me for some reason. Not that MogStation was all that great but the name being "Final Fantasy 14 Online Store" tells me they should have all sorts of goods related to FF14 and not just in game stuff. I know SE has their own store for statues, plushies, etc. but some part of me feels like The FF14 Online Store should include those as well.

So that's all they did was change up the look they didn't add any new items? Personally I'm not a fan of it I waited for new stuff not a new site I'm disappointed

I thought they gonna add new stuff as well.

Nah they are just sensationalizing. If you don't like mogstation items, don't buy them. it's that simple.

Because all I've seen is that is has given us the EU servers, it has given us things like cross world, and world visit, and more high profile collabs in alliance raids. Give me proof!

Sensationalizing? Perhaps so. As a matter of fact, I hope you're right.

However, to set the record straight, I never said I was against cash shop items in this game. I've spent quite a lot of money on them actually (https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...2054218/mount/ for proof, and that's just the mounts) and not once has there been any sort of buyer's remorse.

What I am saying is I am a little worried that this may mark the beginning of greater focus on microtransactions. Emphasis on "a little worried" and "may", as opposed to "100% sure" and "will". There is a difference, and it's not a small one.

Browsing it is much better, the categories are better too!
I just wish they let us open multiple tabs of items down the line.

You can worry when gear starts showing up in there.

While I'd be happier if gear showed up in there, and cosmetics stayed free.

If all the best looking stuff starts showing up in the store, thats when I take my leave. Thankfully, that hasn't happened yet, at all.

As far as I know, I'm allowed to worry whenever I feel like it.

Microtransactions are a huge thing in today's gaming market, so it's only natural to be cautious. Furthermore, that good ol' "it's just cosmetics" argument hasn't been a proper argument for ages because, to mirror someone who posted before me, if all the cool-looking stuff ended up in the cash shop, it'd be just as bad as having the strongest gear in there, for there are probably just as many glamour-focused people in the game as there are stats-focused people.

It's all a matter of perspective.

2 major issues since it's launch. No back button compatibility and no open in new tab.
Guess they fixed one of those major problems. Still we live in 2020 and this is no where near that. Same goes for in game UI functions

More serious thoughts now that I've browsed it more.... I do appreciate that the back button on my browser works now, but I am stuff frustrated that I still can't use control+click (I browse on a Mac) to open the page for items in a new window. I usually do that when browsing a site to get a better look at an item without losing my place on the product main page.

If by gear you mean actual battle gear with stats and not glamour, that would be the day I quit this game.
