FINAL FANTASY XI Merchandise Bulletin

[The Stig]

Fuck Shadow Lord. Give me Dynamis Lord with a summonable Oblivion Smash.

[Octavious]

Why the hell would I pay for something that totally annoyed the living piss out of me when I couldn't beat that mission since my friends were all Lv50... Every time I would look at it i would become infuriated to no end...

[Osede]

Shadow Lord is way overpriced.

I won't say it overprice until I see the quality of the real finished product.


Since for the GK world, a good prepainted figure usually cost like 350USD+the plain model cost.

...Isn't this RMT? You're paying money for ingame items" SE breaking their own ToS, go figure.

Technically, I think it's only considered RMT if parties other then SE profit from these exchanges (ie the player or a 3rd party). A dirty dirty loopwhole yes, but a violation of their own ToS is it not...

[Capo]

if it does come with an ingame item will probably be a furnishing that gives a special moghancement or tons of storage

*gasp* SE making money from their own property, licenses and copyrights! Those FIENDS!

GOD, MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP!

this made me giggle.

Here's some

I'm just wondering how many pages it'll take to, again, rehash what the old thread had said.

And as far as it goes for being overpriced. Have you seen how much the toy models for the other animes go for? They can get pricey but people enjoy the idea of collectibles, same thing as those stupid angels and other ceramic crap my mom buys off QVC.

[Octavious]

Most of my FFXI plushies have been overpriced, but I've been very impressed with the quality. I wouldn't buy the Shadow Lord, though.

however, i keep wanting the stupid talisman. it looks neat and would go with a lot of my outfits. ._.

Do they sell Taru plushies? I've always wanted a little taru plushie :3 (if I could get one in a black cloak it'd be awesome). Oh, and a Dalmatica sweatshirt zip up hoodie thing, I think if they did it well it would look pretty neat.

Posted in the other merchandise thread already, but will repost here.

Just took the middle image since you can see most of it there.

$230 for shadowlord? (No Thanks!)

[Mizango]

What's sad is that alot of us (including me) would consider/buy it if this was the case.

Fucking SE trappings.

Exactly.

[Pikarya]

They should have used the resources of making all this overpriced memorabilia to add content to the game.

But I suppose making money off of whatever they can get before players leave for WoTLK is more important.

[Xno Kappa]

Dude this is sooooo RMT lulz!!! Gonna report this to the Special Task Force pronto!

[Emo]

Shadowlord? Fuck him, i want that elf bitch riding the chocobo.

Yesss..... I want that elvaan on a choco figure so bad. Damn you limited edition in japan only shittiness ):


Okay, gonna start chanting release more figures now. Now that there's an overpriced shadowlord maybe, just maybe, I can get my hopes up for a small set of characters wearing AF or something.

Yes, because the Development team was diverted to sculpting classes to make these by hand!

HOW DARE SE TURN OUR DEVELOPMENT TEAM INTO TODD MCFARLANE!!!!!!

/face meet /palm.

[Kylen]

It'll probably come with an in-game item that allows you to teleport to the Throne Room in Zvahl every 40 hours.

Dream big, go for something like all five Crystal Warriors in their initial positions on the stairs in the Throne Room...

[Xno Kappa]

I would actually think about buying that...

[vagus]

Way overpriced for the shadowworld. The necklace is cheesy as hell, although the item in game is kinda neat, but still not worth the price tag.

[Mizango]

Truth be told, price aside, gil buyers can now have something tangible to send their money on instead of wasting it on 100% virtual goods. I'm sure some people spend much more than this on gil monthly. Fail.

You look like less of a 'tard this way.

[MaachaQ]

Really, $200 is about par for the course for big collectible models like that... I was looking up some overseas exclusive models for a friend the other day, and came across this:

http://www.gamestation.co.uk/images/.../man0210-p.jpg
Halo 3 Master Chief V2 Blue Exclusive to Gamestation NEW: £59.99

http://www.gamestation.co.uk/images/.../man0165-p.jpg
Devil May Cry Nero Statue NEW: £49.99

http://www.gamestation.co.uk/images/.../FF7F002-p.jpg
Final Fantasy - AC - Sephiroth Figure NEW: £12.99

I'm not that much of a model collector myself, but I can see how big fans of a series or an artist might want some eye candy to sit on their bookshelf.
