Why is the Cruise Chaser mount from the Mogstation?

[TwistedTea]

Why is it not from a Savage raid or an in-game reward instead?

This is not meant to be a Mogstation evil thread but just trying to see reasons for it being in the Mogstation vs earning it in-game.

Yeah they really shouldn't have. usually store mounts are out-of-character mounts that's more vanity than anything. But something like cruise chaser in mogstation... this is not it chief

The only place it would fit in game would be as a drop from A12S, but that's been set for 5 years now so...

It could also fit as a drop or reward for TEA, which is also not new but is still the most recent Ultimate and is something at least some players are actively pushing towards finishing before EW comes out.

Yeah that would piss off even more people.
Way more people buy mounts off mogstation than who complete ultimates. Not to mention all those who have already completed TEA and don't want to do it all over again.
Plus TEA is already out and already has it's drop table set, its no different to A12S in that sense at all, whether its 5 years or... nearly 2 years.

I've played this game for more than 6 years and I've never complained about anything placed in mog station. In fact I even support them and shout JUST TAKE MY MONEY.

But Cruise Chaser is special to me and I dare say to many other players too. To put it into mog station is simply doing CC a giant disservice. CC deserves better than this.

I don't really care if its achievement mount, a quest mount, MGP, fishing, savage, whatever in game. As long as its something that can be worked towards in game. CC... deserves at least that.

I spend plenty on mogstation on things. I've never complained about it. Not even mildly annoyed or angry. But this is the first time, ever, I'm disappointed.

Sad ketboi is really sad.

(btw its not that I cant afford to buy it, its... personal attachment)

This right here, I don't really cared that much for store mounts but CC is just out of place for a store mount. it should of been a PVE/achievement reward.

This. This. This.

I don't have much to add, but I came here just to voice my opinion just as I have been all over Reddit and Twitter. I am no stranger to the mogstation, assorted cosmetic costumes that have nothing to do with the game, or costumes from other FF games I'm okay with because they are just that: optional cosmetics. But when you take something like Cruise Chaser and make it a mount, it's a slap to the face to all of your loyal playerbase. This really hurts the integrity of the game. It didn't even have to be a hardcore mount like Cerberus or Demi-Ozma, I don't understand where this false dichotomy of "it's better than Feast," it could have literally come from a low effort Moogle Tomestone event and it would've been better than this.

As cool as this mount is, and as much as I love CC and his theme, I cannot in good conscious support this direction for my favorite game. Besides, now all I can think of when I hear "Forward and Back" is the direction someone swipes their credit card. For shame SE, not even Blizzard would overstep this hard and put one of their most beloved bosses on the cash shop. For shame.

Through the monthly sub fee, one would think.
