Commented on one of @voidsentprinces post about how happy I was to get the Menphina earring~ Cause I started playing FFXIV AFTER Endwalker dropped, so I missed this pre-order bonus, obviously~

...yeah think I'll pass on the mogstation sale this season. Really not fair to US players.

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but they also seem to arbitrarily crank up prices for some items but not as much for others, as if this wasn't an automated algorithm, just individual decisions for each item... Like, the price for the skipping kit only had a 3% increase in USD so I thought maybe they only raise USD prices for items on sale? but then, the dote emote isn't on sale either and it costs 32% more for US accounts...

So I thought maybe the higher the item price the smaller the difference? But the spensier Crescent Moon mount is also 32% more expensive for US accounts.

NOTE: with The Rising, it’s possible we’ll also get a Mogstation sale as we usually have in the past, so these may be discounted a few days after the patch itself. Don’t forget we can now preview store outfits by Dreamfitting at the Inn!

Did some trying-before-buying of the Lyse outfit and hair, using Anamnesis so I wouldn’t have to relog for each of them, and also trying the hair (hair previews when SE?).

The hair is perfect on C’oretta, Aeryn looks like a palette-swapped Lyse, the others are real good/better than I expected. The Elezen is @driftward​‘s Zoissette Vauban, showing the minimal cone effect of the skirt due to how it’s cut and rigged, and also how it overwrites everything else the model is wearing. Image below is an Anamnesis gear screen showing the model is wearing a buncha other stuff as well. It’s all 1 outfit, and like the other NPC clothes, undyeable.
