Request
Please consider selling the exclusive minions and emotes tied to merchandise (such as artbooks, soundtracks, figures, and plushies) on the online store after a duration has passed from the initial sales.

Reasoning
As a collector, it is often times frustrating to be unable to collect certain minions and emotes made only available from art books, soundtracks, and figures. I understand these items are meant to be a promotional incentives to buy merchandise. However, the merchandise sells out over time and the codes associated with them expire. This makes these exclusive items forever unobtainable unless there is a re-run or players turn to 3rd-parties to buy the items at a marked up price. It also creates a fear of missing out since these items are easily missed depending on when a player joins Final Fantasy XIV.

Additionally there are often times where merchandise have exclusive minions/emotes tied to them that are more desirable that the actual merchandise. There is no way to buy these exclusive items individually. I believe there would be a demand for the sale of exclusive minions/emotes if players did not have to buy something they do not desire just for a promotional item. In cases of figures, it is extremely daunting to buy a figure such as the Omega Meister Quality figure for $230 when only the exclusive emote is desired. Most players cannot justify that cost just for an emote.

Conclusion
This is my first post on the forums so hopefully someone from the development team is able to see this. Please consider the addition of exclusive items on the Online Store. I personally have 405 out of 433 available minions in the game and 107 out of 114 emotes. Most of the minions/emotes I am missing I cannot obtain because I missed out on exclusive items tied to merchandise. I wish the dev team well and thank you for your time.
