Regarding The Crescent Moon Mount

[Kacho_Nacho]

"chronic case of entitlement" is asking yet another desirable mount that is so clearly tied to an in game event isn't earnable in said event and is instead replaced by a lazy reskin of a 1.0 mob? With a line like that I sure hope you're getting paid by SE. Surely you aren't throating them for free.

The Crescent Moon mount isn't tied to Little Lady's Day in any way. The chronic case of entitlement lies in thinking that, because Square Enix offered a mount in the cash shop, you are owed a mount for free in exchange in the game. Clear enough?

you are owed a mount for free in exchange in the game. Clear enough?

FFXIV Complete Edition $59.99 Collector's Edition $139.99, monthly subscription $12.99 + $2.00 per month per retainer up to seven, Companion App $5.00 per month, upcoming expansion (no cost yet but most likely $39.99-$59.99)

So on top of box cost and expansion costs a single player can be paying up to 31.99 a month. But....free you say?

[Krokov]

Did they every allow players to start gifting mounts to others again? Or is that still blocked?

No, still blocked out.

There is no entitlement in wanting more unique things that are actually earned by playing the game. I have no idea how some think that wanting to earn rewards in a game instead of buying them on top of our box cost and sub fees is in any way entitled.

I'm just putting two of your posts together to aid in the discussion.

FFXIV Complete Edition $59.99 Collector's Edition $139.99, monthly subscription $12.99 + $2.00 per month per retainer up to seven, Companion App $5.00 per month, upcoming expansion (no cost yet but most likely $39.99-$59.99)

So on top of box cost and expansion costs a single player can be paying up to 31.99 a month. But....free you say?

Free, as in no additional charge. It should be self evident that FFXIV already provides a sizable amount of mounts and other rewards for the cost of the game and subscription.

It's one thing to be dissatisfied with the quality of a mount or reward. We paid for it and we deserve to have a good product for our money. We can and should let the devs know when something leaves us underwhelmed.

But, please explain why the customer base is owed a new in-game reward whenever Square Enix puts a mount up for sale in the Mogstation because that's entitlement.

Is it?

What about it is "so clearly" linked to Little Ladies' Day?

I'm not asking to be contrary, just genuinely perplexed. The symbols for that are spring and cherry blossoms and it's generally very pink. The moon mount isn't themed like that at all.

It's connected because the mount was released on and in celebration of the IRL festival of LLD. ( Hinamatsuri). You know this was deliberate because it was released on a Sunday. SE chose to "celebrate" by putting out a cash shop mount instead of putting the event mount in the event

They're 100% connected. It's not entitlement to ask why the Hinamatsuri mount isn't available to be earned during the Hinamatsuri event in game. Like I said, I really hope you're being paid for this and you don't genuinely believe the nonsense you've been typing.
