New ways to monetize the game through customization.

Do you really think so ? It remind of that argument saying that subscription price should be raised, and i always thought of mog station as an alternative to this.

Basically yes. Revenue from subs should be more than enough income to keep the game going and developing new content. So everything on the mog station should be attainable freely In game. Even if a bit grindy.

Perhaps tie the play dead emote to the kindness of strangers achievements. Raising 1,000 strangers or whatever that achievement is to unlock the emote .instead of making it something you have to pay extra for..

If the revenue from subs alone isn't sufficient to keep the game running then that highlights a huge problem with the games player base...

Mog Station shouldn't exist except perhaps for phyisic items like so e of the statues or security tokens or a final Fantasy xiv coffee mug..

ok, what about profit and reinvestment into other projects the whole point of investing time and money into an MMO?.

SE is a business and FFXIV is a business venture. what I feel is lost on a lot of players.

And statues should be merely pretty statues not extremely expensive emotes.

The statues should also not look like they were made from cheap fondant in person.

All considered and factored in to the subscription plan pricing already. Again if the game can't turn a profit without the mog station then the subscriber base must be remarkably low..which would indicate some much larger problems.

Not like the game already does alot of money huh?

I'd rather they do use the money they already have for new things that everyone can have, instead of... you know, yet another mog station item.

But to each their own :3

You don't understand, SE is barely making enough to keep the lights on! Also, they need more equipment to set up their NFTs! You see, we NEED the mogstation to exist or XIV would never happen! Won't anyone think of the mulitbillion yen company!?
:^)

Edit: I'm sure when they finally break even we will get revived Enix classic IPs like Bust-a-Groove! One day... I'll wait, i'm patient...

Ignore potential cost for a sec. Let's look at the idea of them adding a whole new set of animations to an increasing number of jobs that already have more and more added each expansion.

It's just not a worthwhile venture for them. They have enough to do as it is.

[IkaraGreydancer]

I'm of the firm belief that EVERYTHING on the mog station (except physical stuff) should be attainable in game. We already pay a subscription to play..

What makes it worse is they put more and more stuff on the mog station but keep reducing the amount t of content players get per patch....

Tbf I highly doubt dev time is being gutted content wise for mogstation items. Mogststion isn't content by any means.

Id be fine for they added stuff to mogstation so long as the price is reasonable

[Kranel_San]

Would you be ok if they added new animations set and sound for different job in the mog station ? :3

Not even Blizzard and Activision would step as far as you suggest.
