Sharlayan prodigy's suit

It absolutely is overpriced for what it is, which is why everyone should double check exactly what it is they're buying.

I do sympathize because you bought something you thought you'd enjoy and now you don't, but there have been many discussions about the undyeable outfits they put out (I don't think there are many one-piece glamours so that's rarely brought up) and sadly nothing, not even an influencer talking about it, is gonna change anything about these items unless people stop buying them.

Unfortunately I am the part of the problem in this particular case. But I guess it is why I am trying to get my voice heard now, just so people do not take this as normal.

I know I will not make the mistake again, but maybe others will. The more people are aware, the less probability of mistakes and companies getting away with it.

So far I was never burned by Square Enix, so I trusted them, but I guess I was a fool to do so.

p.s. had to make twi different posts, seems both quotes in one was too long.

Did you try it on? Is that why you didn't get a refund you think? If so, I suppose that's good to know for people that bought something that didn't meet their expectations to not try it on. I didn't know that either.

Like you said though, it's a lesson learned.

Hopefully you can still somewhat enjoy the item now that you're stuck with it anyway

I am not going to use the item, as I said before. I highly dislike non unique items. The premise I bought it as is that I would use the pieces separately. For example, I bought Y'shtola's black mage outfit and never used the chest, because it is too similar to her own look. But I used boots and gloves a lot in many of my combinations. And I was OK with paying the price there (which btw was cheeper because it is non dyeable.). I bought a lot of the items from the store and I use many of them just one or two pieces because I love to mix and match.
But with this item, as I cannot even use the pieces separately, or dye them, I will not use it.

It just does not go into my head how this outfit costs same amount(or more) as so many of them that come in individual pieces with plenty of them being dyeable.

And I did try the item on as when I saw that it is only one item, I thought foolishly that I should right click to unpack it or something. And then to my complete shock it was one item for 4 slots of clothing. But from the correspondence with them, I saw that it would be lost only if it was actually something unpack-able that I opened. And it not.

All I can say is that this is something I really feel terribly about. I do not care about the money. But I feel that they scammed people by putting that price on it.

All dyeable, single pieces outfits on the store are 13.5 euros, while non dyeable are 9 euros. Check it out yourselves.

This is the first item ever I saw that is one piece like this AND it has a price tag of dyeable outfit that is in pieces. It is exacly the reason why I didnt even check, I expected it to be just as any other at this price. I really don't get why people don't care.

Even Meoni who did a review of it (which I only watched yesterday) did not mention how outrageously pricey it is for what it gives you.

I can't think of a good reason on why they can't make the set separate shirt / pants (that probably is both pant and shoe slot, given the design) / glove. Most of the Scion items can be used separately, and I've personally bought some just for a specific item.

They would instantly make it more attractive and certainly would have more people purchasing it.

I mean, is more work? It is... but they are already remodelling the outfit to fit every race, might as well go a bit further than that.

It was probably modeled as a one piece on the NPC so when they made it to fit other races, they simply free-transformed it a bit. Vertices and Weight wouldn't be too affected.
But to have to cut out, split, and such.. you'd have to re-weight the vertices and other possible issues.

It's from ARR times, back when Minfilia was a thing. Just like her outfit it was never designed to be anything other than 1 model for the body.
To change that they would have to redesign the outfit to have a proper shoe and leg and so on model and that's not gonna happen.

As for OP, make sure you read the items before you buy.

Not saying that isn't more work... it is, but it would make the outfit more attractive for more people, thus more selling product. And in the case of this specific outfit, the pants and shoes are the same piece. At glance, they could just separate it into the chestpiece + pants/footwear, as these elements don't necessarily merge visually.

I, for one, am not buying because the price def. doesn't justify the limitation...

For future OP please don't use that pink text it hurts my eyes to read for too long.

That said, everything on the Mog station is buyer's beware, back when it first released I bought my friend Red Baron thinking it was account wide and gave it to his alt character he was using at the time, obviously it is not and had I paid attention to the description I would've sent it to his main. It was a lesson learned to always read what an item is about before buying anything on Mog station and only a bit of money wasted, it happens just have to learn from it really.

I am glad I am not unique in feeling actual pain from trying to read that colour.
