$35, really SE?

Honest just rather sad this wasn't a reward from a long quest chain or the lead into the next xpack or even heck I dunno.. updating veteran rewards or even a RaF.
I get it, the rig took probably a lot of work.. but considering they pretty much had the model for years and I can't wait to see vids on how wonky the animations for the connections to the cart turn out to be... hard pass for me.. =/
I get they want and need money for the server but I feel like the releases on the shop are costing more and more.. while they could easily sweet talk people into buying more with some lowered prices

I was hoping for ishgardian restoration, or hell maybe one designed with the GCs in mind and put them in the rewards list for that.

And if they are really using this cash shop money for the game's servers, then why can't they freaking move the NA servers to a more central location like every other mmo and not have us route through that awful NTT node that crashes every time someone THINKS about going on the internet?

Yeah I had just edited my post for the GC ranks after I thought. Ishgard would have been a fine idea too for one of those crazy 500k points plus rewards haha.
but.. this is what we got instead. =/ *shrug* Just found a vid on the animation and I'm not overly thrilled, it's not bad but it's a bit more stiff than I'd like for the price tag.

hmmm, this one seems to take longer to receive than usual. Still haven't receive it yet.

Mount is overpriced no matter how you try to argue it.

The carriage is $36 while the whale, which is ALSO a FOUR seat mount, is $30. Pretty sure in terms of modeling the whale would've been more work since it has more moving parts on the mount itself. Chocobo carriage already flies(well hovers off the ground) and the flying chocobo modeling has been in-game since HW.

I get that inflation is probably driving prices up a tad but it'll get to the point where people can't afford it and then cash shop will be worthless due to it.

The whale is only a two seater.

it is? 0_o

Coulda swore it was a 4-seater!

Rip me.

[Arrius]

For some that are curious about the description.

Edit: Uses the chocobo riding music as the mount theme.

[DBriggs304]

Hmmm. LOVE the mount...
Dunno about 35 bones though..

30...maybe
Eh, I'll most likely get it at some point.

[lolicon09]

Don't buy it then?
