"Add all DLC to Cart" - Mogstation Cash Shop is akin to a Train Simulator Price Tag

[Musashidon]

I suppose that makes sense in a way, but overall we either have as much content as we usually do or less of it. So I'm not sure where this money is going in terms of keeping the game alive? Is that not what a subscription is for?

in short no. if maybe this was a game studio that only had this mmo i could say sure but this is SE it has to hit a quota and make money to help future projects outside of this game that is the reality of it or the game will eventually be considered dead and the last thing we want is FF11 were you pay a sub for a left for dead game.

Yes, it's a lot of items but I don't really have a complaint about it.
We haven't seen any reduction in cosmetics or good cosmetics in-game, the cash-shop works as an asides to normal content is is extra.

Square Enix could really be doing far more with the cash-shop to be honest, the amount of clothing and hair that could sell monthly would be far greater if they released them more regularly. If they released a hairstyle a month I'm sure there would be *many* people would would buy all, or most of them. Players want more and this is strongly evidenced by forbidden things against the TOS that people actively seek and even pay for.

Again, it's fine as long as the content in the main game isn't reduced, or they start selling more convenience than they are now. I got a bit more of a problem with the retainer service charge than cosmetics shop.

"you can either look terrible or you can shell up the money, you dont need to look good in the game you can just look terrible for free !"

I am absolutely in the camp of wanting more unique glamour sets to be rewards in-game rather than simply mogstation items, but I'm not against mogstation glamour entirely either. I don't agree that the only way to look good is to "shell up the money." There's a lot more variety with in-game sets than there are mogstation sets. I do use some mogstation sets myself, but I also use sets off the mogstation as well. It's just not being charitable to suggest that the all the gear available in the game is entirely terrible and there are no exceptions, which is what this sentiment implies.

Meh, a big chunk of those items are old event items as well.

IMHO the only things I see as contentious in the store are the job skips and the Cloud Bike with the built in speed boost.

The rest of it is horse DLC tier, largely ignorable and completely sidesteppable if it really bothers you.

If you bought atleast of 1 of everything available to purchase (this includes single items and sets that could include those single items), it would cost around $5,417.36 USD.

Im currently working on what each category costs rather than the total of everything together.

What are your thoughts?

I think you're being disingenuous.

There is simply no need for the average player to buy everything from the store or even everything in a single category.

Level and MSQ boosts are completely unnecessary, especially if you don't have alts.

You can be selective with which glamours and mounts you buy, if any. Some people will already have a fair chunk of it if they've been subscribed to the game for a while and earned the seasonal gear from the original events. Not everything looks good on every character, and some of the items (especially the older beach gear) are just the same thing in five different colours and gender-exclusive models.

Do you go into a clothes shop in real life and say it's a rip-off because of how expensive it would be to buy one of everything they're selling?

[Striker44]

That's an opinion though, something that looks amazing to you might not look amazing for someone else ?

Just like your "claim" that everything in-game is "terrible"? Isn't that just an opinion, too? Oh my...

Personally, I've never bought a single thing off the cash shop, and when it comes to glams, my biggest complaint is the limited number of sets you can create...there's so many transmogs I like that from the in-game gear that it annoys me I can only set up a few for each role.

I never said it wasn't only my opinion lol, it's implied that it is because it's logical that it's just my own personal opinion
