Discuss: Lady Iceheart Attire

[IkaraGreydancer]

Whlie I agree with the basic concept of "Some people will pay if they find it worth it, other's wont...store not going anywhere" - I'm more troubled by the lack of effort of this release. It just feels more predatory than some dramatic new mount that probably took enough dev time to at least justify being in the mog shop.

$12 for what this release is just feels like a bad trend, and something I'd want to discourage. I'm not someone who is 100% adverse to cash shops either. But if it feels like gouging (in particular players who may not realize how close they can create this outfit entirely for free in game)...well, I don't want to see that.

I guess it's just not something that bothers me. There's plenty on the Mogstation I'd never buy. Some folks are so into the cosplay space that they'd buy the coined characters outfit instead of just making it. Sure that group is small but I'd think the lack of sales would show them this doesn't work. Hence why I hold by "don't like it don't buy it". As I said I'm not paying a cent for it I encourage others to do the same if they don't like this

If only it had the hairstyle... litterally the only major thing this could've had going for it.

If only DoM got half the glam options DoW has...

I'm still reading it as Lady Iceberg every time.

She's a force to be reckoned with. She took down a Titanic.

The white belt makes it a much better piece than the plain ones already in game.

My memory may fail me but isnt it just some WHM robe colored blue? Mogstation, more like Mugstation, a station where you can go to in order to get mugged.

Taledeji Aledeji isn't the worst FFXIV villain. It's Squeenix CEO san. I didn't like it when that guy in a suit interrupted Yoshi P at some point near EW launch by going up the stage, explaining about PS5 support and joking by asking him for deadlines and stuffs. That's not funny, you're not cool, stop trying to be one. Greedy upper managements are why the game industry is dying. Microtransactions in a game with monthly subs is a corporation greed in it's purest form.

They took FFXIV producer to work two jobs with FFXVI while keep putting subpar items on mogstation for extra money. And when it's finally a good item (which is just a reskin of good models), they maks it expensive af. This game keeps Squeenix alive with stable revenues and this is how they treat the game instead of actually improving it to retain revenue. I wonder what would happen if sub numbers start to drop massively, maybe they will prioritize XIV again. Rinse and repeat. Typical really.

Remember when people thought this game was different than WoW? the saviour of MMO? when there were a lot of people coming from WoW? Well once XIV get big, they become greedier and start putting focus on the wrong places. One lesson we can take is, no matter the corporation, they need rivals to keep them on their toes. Otherwise theyre just gonna keep milking players knowing there arent better alternatives out there.

At this rate I dont have a big hope for next expansion.

It's a bad joke. The turn the game is taking is discouraging. No wonder most people I know quitted the game until 7.0 I would do the same if not for ultimate.

[Arzalis]

Had to do a second take when I saw this. At first I figured they were doing the usual scummy thing of forcibly selling an outfit few people want (or even can use) with a hairstyle, then realized it's just the outfit that can basically be replicated in game.

This one feels pretty desperate, imo.

[TheMightyMollusk]

Honestly, it just feels......late. If it'd been released around late Heavensward to early Stormblood, when Ysayle's story was still fresh in players' minds, it might've made more sense (and more sales, for that matter). Why wait so long?
