Zero gear on FFXIV Store

[Hallarem]

Jeeq, I'm very well aware your a White Knight babe. I lurk on these forums enough to realise you "spread positivity" when in fact your helping the game die.

This is a MMO where things should be played and earned to keep subs rolling. Not bought with credit cards.

This is not a fashion show with statues that cost more than two expansions combined with an emote as a hook.

If they want money, increase the subscription, hire more team members or move some around within square enix and give us some content with actual longevity.

Ff14 failed in 1.0 and 2.0 promised better, it did get better however at this pace where the lodestone is crammed with Vinyl, hair styles and duty commenced with no game updates that arnt substantial. I think it's just a slap in the face to us 1.0 players who put our faith back into the team.

And before you say it.. no an event running around talking to NPCs is not content.

You're trying to argue with a dude who flat out said that people don't have time to play games because they have to take care of 10 babies, 10 jobs and only have limited time, thats why this kind of lackluster design is good.
If you work 14 hours a day in a coalmine while simultaneously taking care of children, maybe an MMO should not be designed for you, nor should you play one. He's the most confusing white knight on this forum by far.

your helping the game die.

That's a really awful, terrible thing to say. I have no power over whether the game dies and it's really strange that you think 1 person on a forum that most people don't read has that power somehow.

I am just saying that things should be presented politely and constructively - not just random negativity for the sake of it. In order to assist with being constructive, I present counter-points to consider.

This is a MMO where things should be played and earned to keep subs rolling.

I agree! However, when it concerns things like fashion or peripherals that fill up the lodestone news due to those companies contacting them to do a collab, it makes logical sense to post it in their news sections. That's all I'm saying.

You're exaggerating. It's not rocket science:

• 8 hours sleeping
• Breakfast, getting ready
• 8 hours (9-5) work or education
• 1 hour? coming home
• 2 hours making dinner~ varies depending if you cook/bake or just microwave
• Maybe 2 hours to game
• Sleep

It's scientifically provable that most people login in the evening. It's also scientifically provable that there are increased logins at the weekend. This is obvious by the increased amounts of PFs at those hours and the increased turnout at hunt trains. Why? Because people are busy exactly as I described. It's a casual game for the majority of players.

Then most people that play now wouldn't play. Because as is easy to prove, most people don't login during the day.

Interesting! And only a week after the other long requested hair too. Two days after the vinyl set.

I usually don't pay attention to store items but this caught my eye.

Incoming subscription increase if this carries on. /s

Shame all updates on the lodestone center around merch at the moment.

[Hallarem]

Oh they must really be bleeding out money. I wonder what cash shop item they will release next.

[Nero-Voidstails]

NPC stuff being in the store for me is fine haha

[Hallarem]

Paying double sub for me is fine haha
Paying actual real money housing rent for me is fine haha
Paying for the devs commute to work monthly for me is fine haha

[DivineP]

Such a shame its all centering on cash grabs on the lodestone(Vinyl, long requested hair styles and outfits)

I've been watching it for the moogle event for some actual gameplay I enjoy as I adore farming dungeons with a little more incentive.

No wonder people are unsubscribing, each store update, merch like Vinyl and statues are not game updates they are just cash grabs.

Where did Yoshi go wrong in a game that was his legacy - if this keeps up he will only be known for milking his players. Shame.

I've wanted Zero's hairstyle for a while now but it's a little disappointing how the highlights are near inexistent on lighter color hair, you can barely tell there's a hint of color. :<

A comparison of Highlights VS No Highlights:


A bit more details here with the full UI to show colors used:

WITH HIGHLIGHTS

WITHOUT HIGHLIGHTS

WITH HIGHLIGHTS / DARK HAIR COLOR

I wish it had gotten highlights that are more prevalent on the tips, similar to Hilda's, Minfilia or Alisaie's Hairstyles, rather than the very faded Highlights that is similar to the new DT ponytail hairstyle. :<

Gotta love that despite being in the game in some form since 2019, that somehow Viera and Hrothgar are STILL being left out on new hats.

I don't even care if they don't go back and add all the old hats but stop making new gear and leaving them out SE, its pathetic.

Nothing new they've usually put npc hairstyles on the mog station.

Though I don't like most hairstyles in this game because they're either too short or clip with armor so i can never win.
