FFXIV cash shop in a nutshell

[Jojoya]

Your support is much appreciated, citizen. The Weeaboo Police Department will bring justice to these forums much like we did Limsa Lominsa on Famfrit. Such is our duty.


Winds be at your back.

I still hug all of you with whatever lala I'm playing when i pass by. You all look like you need it.

Has anybody or any department at Square Enix come forth and taken responsibility for the cash shop? I haven't heard of anybody doing so. Kind of makes you wonder.

Bro, it'll never happen. Could you imagine if Yoshi P suddenly admitted to being behind the cash shop? His reputation would probably take a massive hit. There's a reason why when players ask the devs questions about the cash shop it's almost always smoke and mirrors, like the creation of the "scary baroness lady." The cash shop is an incredibly unpopular piece of FFXIV because it comes off as corporate greed, and nobody at SE wants to take responsibility and take the flak for it.

I always knew Jim Carrey was behind it all.

I have a feeling that you are correct, citizen. Square Enix will always choose to say things that the fans want to hear like how all proceeds from the cash shop go back into the game... It is up to the citizens of Eorzea to not fall for obvious PR statements.

I'm all for going against the grain but I never understood the "Take the road less traveled" saying...

The odds of you finding treasure are less likely of you finding yourself trailblazing straight into a pit of Quicksand, or a cliff, or a Bullet Ant colony, or a gang of bandits, etc...

That is true, citizen, but I and several other Weeaboo Police Troopers believe in the saying: "no risk, no reward."


Forge's glow watch over you.

Has SE ever said cash shop earnings go back to the game? Or do people just believe they do?

Yoshi P has said this several times. Here's a YouTube video where he directly addresses the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttP4vMOWSVo

The ironic part of the Online Store is that most of the gear there is rather lazily made as the designers don't seem to know that most of the races have some non-human features...



The absolute quality of the Seigneur set on a Miqo'te.

To be fair the Seigneur outfit is just trash design in general. Just doesnt look appealing even for the edgy gothic style they were going for. At least for me.

Bolded the part that matters. Taste in outfits varies. A lot. I thought the outfit was interesting enough when seen in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMlQodIahxg

Would I purchase it? There are a number of outfits I'll never consider. This isn't one of those.

Thats why I said it But Ive a few friends who normally go for these outfits and even they said it couldve used a few more passes at the drawing board.
