Why is the Cruise Chaser mount from the Mogstation?

[ElciaDeiLinus]

It's a mechanical mount- meaning 0.1% of players would have ever had access to it. Just something to keep in mind- effectively every single person in this thread would not have been able to get cruise chaser if they put it in as a Feast reward- a fomo, ultra difficult to obtain mount like every other amazing item that has come from Feast yet you never see in game.

That's how rare these items are- I've never even seen someone riding a feast mount, they're so rare they don't even show on that rarity site.

Are store mounts ideal? No- but I'd rather be able to get something awesome like magna roader off the store then not at all, Feast items kinda just feel like they've made a bunch of amazing looking items that simply will never exist for players.

This binary argument keeps coming up.

If it's not on the Mog Station, it would be a Feast Reward

But why does it have to be either of the two?

It could have been tied to achievement certificates, wolfmarks,Unreal,MGP...so many ways it could have been tied to in-game content.

Because that's the likely option SE would've took. Shit if you ask me, it's been what 5 years? If it wasn't on the mogstation it'll NEVER been put into the game. So if anything it was only going to be put there.

It sounds almost like Alexandre_Noireau should stop playing the game when it so bad.

And there is no relationship between the cash shop and the quality or quantity of content, Cash Shop profits DO NOT GO to Final Fantasy XIV. But it always seems that the devil has no shortage of lawyers.

Do you have any proof to back this up? Far as we know from Yoshidas own words, the revenue from store goes back into the game.

This might be a culture shock for some of of you. But JP and I think EU are ok with it. If it bother JP people than ya, you might got a chance to change it. But even if everyone on NA did not like it. They still would not change it because you are second class citizens in this game. (lets be real. Reason why this game is so good.) so NA feedback is not require or really needed.

I'm sure many fellow europeans is opposed to it but personally i don't see the issue but I also don't have same context to blizzard as some of my friends.
I don't see the problem atm when so little mounts are being added vs what is being added to the game.

It's kinda a never ending discussion that leads to heated arguments and people going mad (like in this thread lol)

How many different MMOs have you played in the last 20 years?

[Sotaris]

Nah most of us arent crying over it, i don't talk for everyone but we prefer this way.
Many mount didnt make it to europe and became exclusive to some country so when i see people saying that FFXIV dev won't ever hear what NA player will say it really make me laugh

Yeah I hear you buddy. I wish we'd also get some the NA exclusive mounts from amazon deals and whatnot but I understand it hard with regulations and laws in EU and PAL region. Maybe one day we can get some of them in the store like the flying cloud back in the day.

Hmm.... I imagine you're trying to frame this as an insult or gotcha towards me and my experiences. Also confused what this has to do with anything of I just said, oh well.

But to give a serious answer. A ton of F2P MMORPGs but those I spent years on playing actively:

FF11 - 12 years, maybe more (started in 2004-2005 whenever the EU release was)

FF14 - 8+ years (since 1.0)

Wow - On and off since 2007-2008.

GW1 - For about a year

GW2 - Less than a year

Destiny 1 and 2 (if we're counting them as MMOs, since you're asking for different?)

Countless of F2P MMORPG in the 2000s

No gotchas, no framing, was just a genuine question. (I'm not a bad-faith actor, I say what I mean and mean what I say, no more and no less). With your MMO experience, you should be wary of companies putting mounts in the cash shop that belong in the game. It's fine if they are "out of character" mounts like the FF7 bike, but this mount is clearly from a raid, and should be a reward for completing said raid in higher difficulty, like mounts in the past, not from cash shop.

Why? Because it never ends there.
