Do se just not want money or something?

[Connor]

They’d still have to actually model the outfits probably which ofc would just be far too much work for poor indie developer SE lol. You’ll take your £18.99* Mount recolours and you will like them

* price may vary

if monetization wasnt such a big revenue supply then please explain the success of gatcha games like honkai and genshin. and why every eastern game is littered with in store purchases. please explain the 400$ meagre quality figures, the countless ingame bonuses for SE store items and the never ending supply of merch. if they put a keyblade in the mogstore tonight i guarantee you ud see easily half of limsa in every server with 1.

Genshin has an estimated 60,000,000 monthly players. FFXIV has maybe 5% percent of that. The mobile industry has been dramatically larger and more profitable than non-mobile for a lot of years now. It's not 2003 anymore.

i asked the exact same qzestion but about the merch in the online store.

the stuff they put there is either massively overpriced and you have to think twice if you wanna buy it or its just cheap junk what i dont wanna have

there would be so much potential in ff14 merch. alone all those nice artworks they barely do anything with...

square as a company have a good relationship with disney and disney as a company want as much money as they can get. people always claim disney wont OK this, but the reality is disney would okay and not only that but disney doesn't own sora, riku and kairi. they only own there own characters and a joint IP of KH. they have no say in what nomura does with his own characters

Disney actually owns every KH original characters. After the first KH there was deal made with Disney, so disney owns KH (Disney Interactive developped by SE). That's why things like KH Vcast or that cancelled KH multiplayer game project (Fragmented keys) that existed at a time, without SE involvment. Litterally, the only thing that is not owned by Disney is the cameo SE characters, nothing else.

Disney just doesn't know what to do with KH. It's not something that align with how they market themselves.

That said, give me the Dagger orange jumpsuit, and I'll probably buy it (it would have been an insta buy a few month ago).

It takes time and money to develop those assets, especially when they have to consider every race
That and I'm not sure how easily they can just pull from other final fantasy games

I somewhat recall a possible FF7 collab being teased though, but it'd have to wait until after the FF7 remake finishes whenever that is
In the same vein, I'm sure Yoshi-p and the devs would love to work with Disney to get something started about Kingdom Hearts
Didn't he make a joke about it at some point? If any Warriors of Light worked at Disney, or some such

Honestly they could make some pretty cool collab weapons
For Viper specifically, it'd be nice to see Oblivion and Oathkeeper used together (that and I think more 'mismatched' weapons would be cool. It's a shame the FRU one doesn't do light/dark like that)

Paladin's could get Goofy's shield
Black Mages could get Donald's staff
Dancer gets Axel's chakrams
etc.

Depending on how much effort is put in, and how much they are allowed to use, it could be comparable to the Yo-kai Watch event.

A bit off topic but the last outfit they released came out as unisex with both dye channels, so hopefully future ones will follow that same standard

On the other hand, it seems they've realized they can sell the outfit/hairstyle/weapon individually and probably get more sales from people wanting the whole set for a lack of a bundled option. If they continue down that route, I'd like them to include a bundle for people who want all pieces, or at least calculate how much someone is buying from a specific set and then discounting that price appropriately.

However I think we all know how that's going to go down

Why ask for it on mogstation when you can ask for it for free ingame instead?
This company isn't going under it has 2 large cash horses that print endless money.

[Dastan]

Plenty of people pay a sub just to post on these forums. They're already getting your money. They are literally going to release a mobile version of XIV and are cashing in on FF7R. People throw money at this company without a thought constantly. The evidence is the release of these products yearly.

We get that you're upset at XIV right now. But it's not really going to go anywhere at all and will still be here a few years from now and all of us that play the game are going to be doing the same thing as always. Complaining on the forums about how there's no content to do when we've done all of it. Guess we just wait until next patch or quit. You have choices.

[NegativeS]

We can reliably assume that SE is making plenty of money, because they haven't pushed the VII crossover panic button yet.

We'll know its the 11th hour for FFXIV and SE when that happens--that's probably the only reason it hasn't dropped yet, they're saving it for when it's absolutely needed. Until then, FFXIV remains the cash cow whose teat is squeezed regularly to fund garbage fire projects.

I certainly don't feel my wallet loosening under the modern attire sets being released, despite it fitting into the Alexandria theme. Not my thing.
I'm also not keen on seeing the quick cash-grab projects that Square siphons money into away from FFXIV and then seeing those flop, like the Chocobo-GP game ended up as an example. Makes me trust Square even less to have the interests of a gamer at heart and condition me to expect any content of FFXIV to get squeezed out for 'the next big gamble'.
They also seem to be banking on the mobile-version to pick up the slack, since a lot of mobile-players are much looser with their wallets (and if they don't make transactions a one-tap convenience I will be most certainly surprised) but not exclusively. I would like the game to be packed full of more content to do, however the drip-feed DT has been giving make foreshadow the years to come. Gold Saucer 2.0 being recreated in the Living Memory zone to make use of the carnival dungeon, party mini-games that you can queue into like the events at the Gold Saucer, more things we can find fun in and enjoy doing aside from Hunts and raids. It would be nice, but I don't see that happening. I don't know the future, though, so I'm open to being wrong and being blessed with fun.
