Online store prices are outrageously high!

I implore you to look up DCUO and their...Time Capsules. (eerie music plays)

NOOOOOOPE! lol. See I really only mention Tera because thats the mmo I played for 4 years before I came here. It was also my first mmo. I was there from the beginning and quit a few months after they put the Rocker outfit in the game. That's around the time the loot boxes started added useless things to the loot table to force you to buy more boxes because getting an item reset the chances or whatever. So I speak from experience and pain. Tho DCUO might be worst but I've never played it.. and with how you mention it...... ye---ah I'mma stick to XIV. No loot boxes or stupid loot tables to play. Just... see and buy.

Comparatively FF14's really isn't that bad at all.

The Mogstation leaves much to be desired though. Mostly consisting of seasonal event items from events you missed. All the outfits aren't terribly exciting either: half of em from npc's that are no longer wearing them or are no longer around to wear em, the other half being original designs but kinda bland looking. Then there are the two pairs of outfits from other FF titles. They should do MORE of that.

We then have the highly disturbing lack of weapon bundles. This one really gets me down, cuz when I go into a cash shop I head over to the weapons section first to see what they've got, see how cool they look, and am somewhat pleased. Mogstation's is extremely pitiful. All you've got are: 1) Scythes 2) all of the Heavensward weapons 3) FFXIII weapons. That's it. No weapons for any other job in that shop, not even my dear Rouge Ninja. Disgraceful.

Only 24 mounts and they're meh. I bought the cloud though. (the motorcycle might be next)

Everything else I don't care about. The Mogstation could deeeeeeeeeeefinitely stand to get more shit, either original designs and/or from the game itself, or from other FF titles and/or Square games. But if there are money/ licensing issues that I don't know about, then I guess that's that.

FF14's cash may not be that bad at all, but for what it has to offer, it's pretty bad.

3.5/10

The thing with outfits is that they've mastered the art of putting one or two really good utility pieces in each set. There are a number of items that are mostly appealing for the boots, hair decorations or a skirt you can't even see on the full-costume preview. Your opinion may vary on whether this is a good thing or a shameless money grab.

As to weapons, there is indeed a puzzling lack of them, particularly given that there are a number of unique NPC weapons that match costumes already sold in the shop.

Y'shtola's BLM staff from Shadowbringers is being sold now - separately to the outfit and equippable by both genders - and I can only hope they do the same for other weapons at some point. Particularly her WHM staff as there is a general lack of low-level glamours that don't use the tree-branch aesthetic.

(Yes, before anyone brings it up, it would be nice if they let you acquire it in-game. But that seems highly unlikely.)

just because it doesn't have what you personally want doesn't mean it's bad. that's just your opinion.

the motorcycle is cool. I had the mount music turned off and i had to reset the game settings due to some dx errors and i was honestly expecting the generic mount music they use for a lot of hte mounts. Needless to say it is pure nostalgia from FFVII on the motorcycle with its mount music.IF only if I could swing a buster sword on it.

Lower your prices to something reasonable.

No competition + enough demand = very reasonable price for them.

[linayar]

Also it's provable that the items are over-priced. Many, many games give you much more for less money or at least comparable items for less.

There are no comparable items. Items in other games are not available in FFXIV, therefore they are not competing in the same market.

Once again:

No competition + enough demand = very reasonable price for them.

[Sathona]

I know people hate to hear it and i hate to say it but...they are optional.
Also their prices are quite fair-compared to other MMOs like ESO or BDO as a few examples.

its unfortunate that the new mount is so expensive but its what it is.
the price of outfits is okay but every outfit that costs $$$ should be dyable and account bound not character bound.

lvl boosts shouldnt go over lvl 50 imo /shrug

but generally the -optional items- on FFXIV are truly optional.
