Yeah honestly. I'd be way more willing to buy stuff if they weren't locked to a single character. But then again, I also don't buy account wide stuff cuz those get a massive markup xD
If I were to create a new account, I'd definitely buy this. The EXP bonus is great, but I just love how the Menphina earrings look, plus she's my chosen Deity.
I usually don't make ALTs, use the Mogstation or use Fantasia, I have the Azyema Earrings, BUT if someday I decide to make one Alt or use Fantasia I will pick this pack first for SURE. Leveling everything from scratch until lv 100 was "easy", but it takes TOO MUCH TIME in a month paid game... This being available for "every alt possible" and every free trial account to buy is... Nice.
Thanks for this video. Oddly, I wanted the Menpina Earrings for glamour (i have the DT preorder ones for leveling alts), and seeing this was a cool purchase since the Fantasia make it worth it to me (Aetheryte tickets are moot for me with weekly BLU/hunts, i think i have several 999 stacks at 500gil thresholds). Happy that Happy brought this to my attention!
I think you severely undersold this item's value. Imo aside from more retainers or job boosts for alts, or specific glams you want, this item is a must purchase if you're going to spend any money on the mog station. Not only do you get the fanta, but you get it on every alt. Not to mention aetherite tickets, the earrings and emotes and parasol. Basically, if anyone ever wants to buy a fanta, even if they're 25% off, I would almost insist they buy this first, just so that every alt ever will have a whole extra fanta to work with, as well as the tickets and earring if folks don't have that. This also reduces the friction for folks who want to spin up a whole different account and want to level jobs and hadn't gotten the earring earlier- Cross Region players, for example. I understand that calling a paid item(s) in the game a "gift" is a little absurd, but I don't think this will make them very much money, if at all. I feel like a vast majority of these sales are going to be diverted from a single fantasia purchase anyway. If they just sold Menphina's earring for $5 I don't think the community would have been upset, hell I think they could have sold it for $3 and they would have made more profit than this bundle they've released
I got the earring with the pre-order of DT. I had the one helmet that XP boosted until level10, then there is one to level 50... but they don't stat boost as well. The DT earring and this one stat boost. and the augmented gear you get for level boosts now lasts quite a good while. The gear I got for my picto, spent poetics on augmented credendum lasted until level 97 and I only changed out my weapon. not bad for what I paid for it.
In my honest opinion, this newest addition to the Online Store is... okay. I still believe that most of the stuff should be tied to the in game achievements, like the Gilded Magitek Armor mount, or the Princely Hatchling.
I think something coming for free with a pre-order doesn't necessarily constitute it being 'free' in price. People will pre-order games often FOR the pre-order accessories they'll receive, so it's not far-fetched to say that they're part of the price. For an item that boosts experience in particular that feels necessary to address, because it's a cutthroat advantage in leveling that most people wouldn't want to pass up.
The pre-order doesn't cost any more than buying the game on release. The pre-order bonuses are literally that: bonuses that you get, for free, simply by paying the same price earlier.
Why isn't it up to level 90? :( I think they need to also do packages in general, like 1 emote, 1 glam, 1 fantasia, 1 mount of any choosing for a heavily discounted price as well as a 1 of a kind xp boos ring good for level 90 or below. Gives more incentive to go and actually get an actual thing that you might want rather than some random stuff that I may or may not have already.
What exactly is the downside to making it 90? o_O Dawntrail is done and most people who got the earrings and play the game on an obsessive level are already all level 100. No reason for this to be 80 or not 90. >.>
@@xReaghan Such a poor excuse. If people wanted to level super fast from scratch they can easily just go to a server with Road to 90 get all their stuff as fast a possible to 90 and then be done. New people coming into the game with rings or earrings that give extra XP doesn't detract from anything in the game. There isn't a reason to make it 80. DT being new isn't an excuse either, it doesn't even give you that much of a leveling advantage from 91-100 >.> unless you spam Aglaia lol
I think they would have more uptake on this if they made an exclusive necklace or bracelet item that was account-wide and acted just like the earring. That way, people with the earring would have something else to gravitate toward, and those without would get an equivalent item.
Was the Red Moon Parasol a limited-time item? If so, then they are really trying to get new people to join. I guess they decided to find the most popular emote and fashion accessory and throw it into this kit to tempt non-players to join. I don't need it, my account already has the Azyema's earring and you get TWO free Fantasias - one in MSQ and one from a side-quest.
While this isn't a bad idea to have some common items in a bundle, the exp items never really intrigued me much. Leveling in this game is already super easy and unless you're a try hard day one minmaxer you'll never really need them. And if you are such a person, you're already preordering and getting the extra exp that way lol
It’s not that levelling is hard, it just takes too freaking long. It takes around a month of daily 8-10 hour sessions to get alt job to max level with all exp boosts.
@@ProtossOP not really, armory bonus plus earring can make up a lot of time and if you have a mentor friend it makes it even faster. I got everything maxed in a little over a year of mostly doing dailies
@@swampman4263 back in 6.3 or 6.5 I levelled BLM and it took me something like 273 hours(which is like I said about a month of 8 hours sessions) doing roulettes, bozja, potd, having rested exp and all the stuff that’s generally recommended for levelling. So in my experience it indeed takes around a month to level from 1 to max.
@@ProtossOPFrom level 1 or from previous xpac max level? Because if lvl 1, ya it takes a while but ofc it does because it’s your first time playing through it. Once you get it to max level you don’t need to do that much ever again. Leveling jobs 10 levels every expansion after that is super fast.
@@omegaxtrigun from level 1. I’m with you on your whole point except it still shouldn’t take that long, apart from last 10 levels maybe. I still remember back in WoW before I quit in Shadowlands it took like 20 hours at worst from the moment you create a new character to you being max level.
Yeah i've ben saying they should just sell the bundles. Literally no reason not to for people who want them. Shadowbringers (baby gremlin minion+aetheryte earring) Endwalker (wind-up Palom minion+Menphina earring) Dawntrail (wind-up Zidane minion+Azeyma's earrings) Literally no reason not to.
tbh, I have never felt like I needed to level faster. But I guess this is good for ya'll who blaze through the game. Ironically, I might be interested in level cap earings that prevent exp gain so I don't outlevel the content.
Pay for game, pay for expansion, pay for subscription, also cash shop with P2W elements (retainers for crafters). It's just shameless at this point. But wait for the cult to show up.
What are your thoughts, I am a sprout and new to the game. I am still in ARR, soI decided to queue up for Titan Ex Synced for the experience. I was paired with a group of mentors, guessing they did the mentor roulette, while I just clicked on Titan Ex Duty Finder. The mentors I was paired with told me that I shouldn't queue up, but instead use the party finder for synced ex trials, was a bit discouraging. Did I do something wrong, or am I to limit myself from using a feature that as a person that pays my FFXIV subscription should use?
You got some lame fake mentors the ones that can't clear these ex trials when its live and do 1 unsync clear of each one to do mentor roulette for achievement. I have done ARR ex and completed it with sprouts on my roulette.
Doesn't surprise me that square enix is selling an exclusive preorder item in the mogstation. $30m/month in sub money isn't enough to make better content, may as well milk the player base more to pay for the next failed game project.
They should sell renamed equipment and pets from pvp because if you dont play pvp you miss those items, just change the name so its a different item and other people can buy it
