There's a great meme in the JP community that spawned from an incident at the FF14 10th anniversary fireworks show, and has been being used in JP to describe the current state of the game/event.

"1000yen yakisoba with no toppings"

Lol, this is kinda like that whole debacle with the limited edition figurines that SE was selling a while ago. FFXIV fans were pissed at the poor quality of the expensive figurines.

After what I had to go through with Endwalker's Collector Box and my broken statue, I vowed to never buy a physical CE from SE again. Not only was it of a lesser quality than they showed off at Fanfest, it was broken in about 3-4 different places. They sent me a replacement, but it took about 2 months of going back and forth with them to make it happen.

no aonori, no red ginger, heck there isn't even any cabbage let alone any meat. just noodles and it doesn't even fill out the plastic dish it's in. i'd feel ripped off if i paid roughly seven dollars for that. might as well just go to the store and get the ingredients to make my own, probably be even cheaper if it's just the noodles and that amount. bet even just a store packaged bento would be cheaper than that.

also lol, i found the original twitter post and the op said they went back to the place and the price had gone up.

Lol, sometimes I wonder. At what point will players stop to think: "are we being taken advantage of?"

Maybe I'm jaded, but this doesn't really surprise me as someone who lives in the US. This is pretty standard practice over here. High prices for mediocre to average food and drink at, say, movie theaters...and festivals/conventions/etc like this one, just because they can get away with it. Even if you pay to get into it in the first place.

Yes, citizen, you hit the nail on the head. The main goal of many companies is to generate a profit, and if they can do that while getting away with putting in the least effort possible then that's just what they'll do. SE is really no different when it comes to this.




The dark times will pass.
