Forced to preorder early because of Wind-up Palom

[DamianFatale]

I think the idea is cute. They haven't done a thing where you get TWO minions as a pairing for a pre order. Do I like that one goes away? Absolutely not, but It is what it is.

I also have a lore theory that they are using these two as a metaphor for Alphinaud and Alisae. Palom and Alphinaud both have training as a sage as something in common.

Bonus items added as preorder bonus for people who want to buy it earlier, what a tragedy

Forced????

[Bacent]

If you have OCD this means that you pretty much have to preorder the digital collector's edition to get both minions even if you want to wait for reviews to come out before buying the expansion. For newbies in the future they will never be able to get both minions. So in the future newbies are forced to buy the regular edition of Endwalker if they have OCD otherwise they will only get one of the two twins as a minion. Please tell the developer to release Wind-up Palom on the MogStation so people don't feel pressured to buy the expansion before reviews come out.

I don't believe that you know how OCD works. There's many types of it. I have OCD and it doesn't get to me in ways you're assuming it gets to people with OCD. That's pretty big blanket assumption.

Some people obsessively clean. Some people have to do certain actions/ect when doing something (Like how I have to count one, two, one, two when walking... among a few other things I do others would find strange). I could keep going on about this for a while.

Sure SOME people might have 'OCD' when collecting things in game. But if they didn't buy every single product related to XIV (The blu-rays, the figures, the plushes with the codes) they'll never get everything. They'd have to be playing since day one.

Please don't confuse OCD with Fear Of Missing Out. It really doesn't look good when you assume something like this.

FOMO is a tactic businesses have been using for years. This is a 'first world problem'. This is far from anything new.

...Does it really matter when you’re generally not charged until a week before release anyway?

It is called a good marketing department that knows how to cash in on your nostalgia. I strongly suggest Square Enix fire these people before they run this MMO into the ground via excessive monetization but right now I am screaming at a brick wall until the FF14 devs slip up and put out a bad expansion and everyone blames the preference for cash shop items vs quality content.

Ignoring this legitimate complaint from this person is akin to digging a hole.

No one is forcing you to do anything. You don't have OCD

[Nabiri]

As someone with OCD who regularly stresses myself out with obsessive habits, I chose NOT to become a collector of anything in this game, (minions, Triple Tiriad cards, mounts, etc.) just to keep sane.
There’s no way I could enjoy this game as a collector.

Sometimes it’s best to live in moderation. I only try to attain my favourite things now.

It’s fairly obvious at this point this is a trolling account. Every thread they’ve made so far is purposefully inflammatory or willfully ignorant.

Forced? When did wanting something become being forced?
