Thread: Bring back lost 1.0 items as glamour :)

Generally I think via function of time nothing should ever be limited, 1, 2 year exclusive? Sure. If I recall correctly the white ravens were made to seem like one time ever limited edition items, so I can see why someone might be frustrated (though I personally would then say, just don't make limited items, only time exclusivity type of limited). But in a general sense I don't believe in exclusive anything. Heck I personally also think the challenge doesn't need to be preserved so long as you also give it a function of time, which is why I'm always for the rolling mountain FFXIV has done so far to most content (which allows you to start with time and skill gifted players and slide down to those with limited time or even, to a point, limited skill too). With only something like ultimate not getting hit by the mountain. Time serves us all lol.

Generic 1.0 items making a comeback is fine, the normal items that people got because they needed/wanted it, not because they thought it'd be made unavailable forever at a later date.

In general though, exclusive stuff should remain exclusive forever.

As someone who has every Garo related glamour, mount and achievement...I wouldn't have a problem if they were made available once again. There's been a period of exclusivity for people to have them purely for bragging rights purposes and achievement dates would show whether they were acquired the first or second time around.

As someone who ignored the Garo stuff for ages and only got bits and pieces of it, I had my chance, what's done is done.

I have my unbelievably specific, unbelievably stupid reason to maybe want some exclusive stuff to stay exclusive. But if that's not gonna be it, I will actually welcome the reruns, and hope they will happen variably and consistently, so that not one event stays behind while others return for the third time.

I greatly dislike items being unobtainable. Especially for a game that's supposed to respect your time.

If it's set as an event, cool. But, at the very least, place those items to be available on the mogstation later. Those who were there to participate in the event at least get it for free and get to experience the content its centered around. Things like the Dragonquest crossover event, the Yokai Watch crossover event, the FFXI anniversary and FFXV crossover event, the GARO event - the list just keeps going. Players don't feel screwed by missing the events and, supposedly, the mogstation profits go exclusively to FFXIV rather than SE's poor decision making.

I think the Mogstation sounds like a good compromise. I did the Garo stuff, and it was a crazy amount of effort to make it in time. But really, I don't begrudge someone else getting the outfits (some are pretty dumb looking, tbh. I can't imagine even the most stylish person in the world could do much with the Makai Paladin glam unless you really want to cosplay as C3PO. But some are pretty nice.) If I want bragging rights, I can always just put walk around with the Makai Master title.

Not really. The Garo event went on for what, 2-3 years? Most people just completely ignored it until the collaboration was about to run out, so they suddenly had to rush it all.
