Add Meister Emotes to the Store!

This will never happen. Let's face it, the statues are always garbage and are just a ploy to sell a $400 emote. If they tried to sell the emote for that price, or even half or quarter, most people would frikkin riot. News websites/videos would go on and on about "Greedy Sqaure-Enix selling $400 emote in their subscription game!" SquareEnix is pretty greedy, but even they aren't that greedy.

...sell a large, yet cheaply made statue and give the emote as an extra "bonus" however...

Look at how broken this community is, begging for the "opportunity" to spend more money on the game they already bought and subbed monthly for, and are preparing to buy an expansion for in a few months.
These emotes should be tied to completion of the content they're actually referencing, purely in game. But we'll never have that, because we need something to make the whales feel unique. Notice how many of these emotes involve floating. They're literally buying the ability to look down on others. You'd expect this crap in a f2p kmmo with a gacha system.

I know it's hard when the whole industry is like this now, but please try to demand better. If you start bargaining from such a low point, you'll never get anything good.

Added to the store? No. Not for any 'prestige', but because these things should be obtainable in the game.

A great many things should be account-wide and not limited to a single player. The few account-wide things we do have shouldn't be only from the store or statues.

I very much appreciate the Omega emotes being account-wide, but I would much rather they be behind some sort of content that takes effort to complete. Maybe have New fights (that aren't Ultimates, but similarly can't be unsynced) specifically related to these emotes, giving you an achievement and the emote as an account-wide reward. Or go the easy route of having them be rewards for synced/MINE clears of their relevant extremes/savages, but this feels boring (and 'too easy').

First, they should be obtainable in-game but that's a whole different issue.

They should at a minimum absolutely make the emotes available for purchase separated from the statue some time after the physical item's run has concluded, this also should be the norm for digital bonuses tied to other old merch that is no longer produced. I wouldn't blink an eye if my soundtrack-exclusive minions became available again later, I wanted the blu-ray that's why I bought it. And I know the meme of buying an emote with a bonus statue has propogated enough that the brainrot has taken root by now, but we all know SE would make more money selling the emotes in perpetuity as standalone purchases than they do from overall purchases of limited time and (up for personal debate) overpriced statues.

And for people that get hung up on muh exclusivity, you got to have the emote/minion/orchestrion/etc YEARS before others did and got some nice actually limited good(s) that after a certain amount of time fewer and fewer of which will exist in the real world at all, get some help.
