What do we think about the new Belt-leather attire?

[Absurdity]

The team doing this on the cusp of revealing they don't have the ability/funds to make Forked Tower (Normal) is laughable. Like "Hey if you guys buy this stuff maybe we can afford it! Teehee".

This is what bothers me the most. It's not necessarily even the price itself but how it looks to release these new mogstation items, at these prices, right after telling us in a liveletter that they had budget issues.

Now, I don't think the actual dev team had anything to do with this, as far as I know they are not responsible for the mogstation and have little if any control over how it is run.
But what this shows is concerningly poor communication between different departments which is probably not exclusive to XIV's store.

It's honestly ridiculous. That and the fact that the cash shop changed in-game mount rewards to single character only. They're really trying to make up for all the lost subs at this point I feel since DT has been incredibly divisive. I know I won't be using the cash shop anytime soon.

But anyways, we pay for a monthly sub, cash shop shouldn't exist. Focus on listening to the community and making the game fun instead of pulling stunts like this, please and thank you.

My understanding is that the MogStation team more or less operates independently and its money stays within CS3 with Yoshida deciding how the pie is split, but I could very easily be wrong or their statements on it could be lies/outdated/mistranslated.

What do you mean? Cash shop mounts are account wide.

This is mostly made for whales and those who don't have self-control. Specially the ones that buy every single item the store has to offer so this will be like a fomo thing for them or: "I need this for my full collection". People already buy and novice chat is already full of mentors who speak about buying it and "omg it looks good!". Meanwhile those same mentors are afk-ing the whole time and never helping sprouts who beg for unsync content because they cannot find parties for hours. Then come into a conversation that will last more than the whole trial / dungeon would. Because it's easier to throw pointless arguments with sprouts and make them quit. Yep shame on you.

Regardless of that, first meaning when people buy this hot garbage is that they don't care about the quality of the game and they will take even pile of crap if it was served to them for 20 bucks. These are the main people that make this game work like this. We all want a better quality and devs to treat us better, but obviously some of them just don't care and enjoy being a fool.

Devs know this will sell for good so it's a quick buck.

I will have it as well don't worry... with glamourer which is free.

Not every mount though, some when you scroll all the way down say: ''single character only''.

That was also my last info on how it functioned. But my point still stands, if those are two separate departments they have terrible communication between departments, because this is simply not good optics.

Just a simple Question: Who asked for this Glamour? We asked for Glamour like Gaius, Zenos, Emet Selch or Venats Hair or for Nophica's Glamour + Hair.... even a Zenos Minion and Zenos Portrait .... but nay we get a Glamour that exsists already in Game in a tiny different Version. Same Trousers, same Shoes, same Shirt since a while now ( since Endwalker). Just some small changes here or there but still the same. No Dress, no Skirt. All made for Men with the lazy exuse called Unisex.

That are the ones you got from seasonal events. And no mount you get ingame is account wide.

Every purchased item should be account-wide. The only exception should be consumables such as dyes, fantasia, and jumps.
