Letter from the Producer, XIII (07/08/2011)

for a while they were tracking everyone's numbers and if you didn't get a certain amount of preorders or have a certain percentage of used games sold they'd get rid of you. On top of that, they regularly had secret shoppers come in/call on the phone to make sure you were pushing the shit to every customer.

I figured this would be the case and it's just another example of suits demanding that their retail employees remain obnoxious and pushy as fuck even with they aren't on commission-based pay.

the secret shoppers were often the ones that would try to refuse and act disinterested.

Horrible.


Anyhoo. I wonder if Yoshi-P is going to eventually offer some sort of bonus items for people who preordered either versions and are still activated. It would definitely be a nice gesture towards the few who have stuck it out. Not to mention that every bonus item so far except Hermes' Sandals becomes completely useless after you reach Rank-10.

Give them all Tidal Talismans in XIV that warp you to a random location that isn't Ul'dah.

+1 Optimisim, -20 Perception.

If they were going to do this, I would expect a piece of furniture for the eventual player housing, not a piece of equipment.
