New Chinese Magician Emote...

[aveyond-dreams]

As posted on Umadori, the recent Chinese Live Letter has revealed a new emote for that region. I will first say that it is a very well-made emote and that I am sure a lot of care went into it's creation.

However, I am bothered by the fact that it is all but certain to eventually come to the game not through in-game rewards but by the online store, while in-game emotes both earnable and linked to the MSQ...seem to be the same eating animations recycled countless times.

Magicians don't make much sense in this game's world anyway because magic is actually a thing. If it weren't, the one person claiming to be capable of it would be of more intrigue.

It's perfect for the "putting on a show" aspect of BLU, though.

A lot of NPCs actually can't cast magic so in some communities of people may use something like this as entertainment.

Even most of the NPCs we engage with in Disciples of Magic tend to struggle, as our WoL/Mary Sue effortlessly surpasses their life's work in 10 minutes.

I could see the sleight of hand being something Garleans would start practicing for entertainment purposes...or a man from Thavnair trying to make a living in Garlemald.

LIES AND SLANDER!!!



Seriously tho. Why, Squeenix? I'd actually be willing to pay you for this emote and you gave to China only? >=(

I could see magicians working in one or two ways:
1. Actual mages using their magic to entertain the masses.
2. Being like IRL magicians, using prestidigitation and technology with a flair of showmanship. Seeing as this is a fantasy world, they would probably double as spies/assassins.

As much as I disagree with Aveyond on a lot of things, there are 2 things that are/could be an issue in this

Issue 1 : Why have such a distanced released in between the regions ? What is the point exactly ? And why are we just accepting it as if its normal ? And no "it's always been like this" is not a response, things could improve, in particular for region exclusives (like the dress and another item that was JP exclusive, or even the pizza emote for NA)

Issue 2 : If it's free for one region (which I am not sure it is) but then goes straight to the cash shop for another region, that is also another issue.

I dont know if they get it for free, or if they also have to pay for it or get a chance in the game or however it works, but in any case the first issue is already a big problem, there is just no reason.
