Hi Gamers!
I try to remain positive when it comes to speculation when it comes to FFXIV. If we don’t know what’s going to happen, then why waste time being upset about a possibility? But when I felt that way this morning, I thought maybe it was better to share. If I feel this way, then other fans must too, right?
If you felt negatively, and not positively, when you saw the egg for the first time, leave me a comment below!
Thank you for watching, Gamers – and I’ll see you in game!

I didn't mind it. We have a lot of great emotes in game. Maybe I feel that way though because I don't really want the fried egg emote that much, even though it's cool.
If it was Eating Taco, that would be totally different.
Look at wow and other MMOs. Once this kind of thing happens it never stop. In-game rewards in EW already were lacking and DT is going to be much worse I fear…
it would have been better if we got this from a in game event😅
Years of Boiled Eggs always in your Inventory and now they want us to fry them? Preposterous!
If it means keeping the subscription price same I don't mind such small things
Disagree. Basically everything in this game has a story quota to meet, I don't want them to make Halloween about frying eggs.
It's definitely a valid concern.We'll have to wait and see.
I remember them telling us before DT launch that we would get more personal emotes, like climbing a ladder and stuff, so this Egg thing must be one of the first to come
I don't personally care about this emote much, and I assumed people stopped caring even if I still resent it. On the other hand, countless months of subscription and 100 levels of culinarian mean nothing i guess
I realized immediatly that with the DawnTrail release, there was not a single new obtainable emote. As this is one of the things I really like collecting I felt a bit dissappointed… I hope new obtainable emotes get added soon.
i think it should be noted that the content exclusive to mogstation (barring prior event items i think) is stuff pushed out by a different team compared to the team who actually makes content for the game. so it's not like they're taking away content that would've been a quest reward just to paywall it. i imagine once they are completely 100% done with things related to the graphics update and the two dye system they'll have more resources to dedicate to making worthwhile cosmetics/vanity items we can get as quest rewards because as of now it seems like they're stretched pretty thin at cbt3
Thats egg we pay for is making servers running. The server wont run without egg they need money froom egg to make servers run and make more stuff to pay for servers and new content to be made.
It's not just the emotes I have a problem with, they still haven't fixed the ridiculous waiting times for dungeons and certain other things, I downloaded ps5 version and ive not really noticed any differences from ps4 since the update sure the faces look mildly okay now, but what about all other systems in the game that are bad. the mounts and emotes I've gotten over the years are such low quality even the ones I spent money on, I bought them and only used the ones I earned ingame. Considering others have been left down by dawntrail I'm starting to feel similar, nothing really has improved that much except graphics and that aside it just doesn't feel like this game is made for enjoyment anymore just grind grind grind to the grindstone and I have some of my awakened gear unlocked but the outrageous waiting times to get crystals is just beyond silly. To get anything decent looking you have to grind and I have constantley use healer for every dungeon because using any other job takes decades to enter any dungeon. Anyway rant over
It's an emote. It is not that deep.
The fact that the full priced game requires subscription fees to play AND has a cash shop with exclusive items is still insane to me
I think this is a huge overreaction, from the emotes we got during EW, the best ones were all free – /show right/left, /wow, /lophop, /loveheart, I think SE's strategy is to make high quality emotes/costumes for time limited events for whoever has an active subscription to get for free, but then after the event is over they put on the store later for people who missed when the event was live. IMO I think its a win-win situation, they are making paid store-quality emotes but people who have an active subscription get them for free, while people who missed it can get later spending money.

Just don’t buy it.
Players constantly complained about getting loads of one piece sets on the store in SHB. With people most likely not buying those outfits for that reason, SE started putting up sets with separate pieces again.
I do also agree the event rewards in the past year or 2 have been very lackluster, but I’m excited for what’s coming with the moogle tomestone event and the Halloween event. I will definitely be doing those.
It's pretty impressive graphically. But I can get an actual fried egg on toast for less than $7.
If this is perceived a problem, don't buy it. Vote with your dollar. Bring up your concerns at Fanfest or at a Q&A or other event where they take player questions. This isn't new, they've been doing emotes in the mogstation and ones that come with physical purchases for years, they won't be stopping it if people keep buying it.
i think the detail of the emote is really cool. what the emote is doing and the fact it isnt a looped one (lets be honest those ones are the most valuable ones), makes me not fond of it. however if they made a detailed emote that a lot of people would actually really want and made it looped then i think it would be worth the price and wouldnt mind paying for it. im fine with totally optional content being purchasable when theres plenty of cool stuff you can get within the game without paying a cent of real money. My main complaint about the store would be the fact you have to pay money for a bunch of exclusive dyes when theres such limited glam plates meaning you cant get the dye back if you decide to replace something.
Is this seriously an issue for "everyone"?
The answer is no.
There have always been exclusive animations and such in the game, and ones available on the Mogstation. But you seem to be completely avoiding talking about the sheer amount of animations, graphics updates and content that is already there in the game and constantly out – and alot of it for the same baseline sub fee that's always been there.
Unfortunately many, many players are actually noting that videos like these are simply becoming too commonplace – a raincloud amongst the positivity, as if to suggest that this amount of 'effort' is not present in content already there and paid for. It's simply not true.
This type of video, and believe me it's spinning this as a AREN'T YOU ALL SO SAD AND ANGRY, is so disingenuous as to be overwhelming. The dev team and hundreds of users have gone on reddit and the official forums to explain to you exactly what the different process is for mogstation items and how they are (usually) handled by different teams altogether.
Please stop wasting viewers time and spinning a rherotic. If you don't like it, don't buy it. Those of us who love it will buy it. But to paint this like some kind of OMG ITS OUT OF NOWHERE spin is absolutely overblown and overdone. If you really want a store to complain about , there's a few other MMO's that shant be named that charge FAR MORE for FAR LESS.
Wait people care about this that much? thats so silly.
For an MMO, FF14 has actually given us way more than most games. I actually think they don't have enough paid items and a lot of given items won through events and achievements….so I do disagree. Even if they start putting more higher quality things in the mogstation…wouldn't that make sense 🤔 also …I feel that fry egg emote will barely be used. We need more emotion emotes or comical emotes.
Love the content, Debbie! 🙂 As a former WoW player, this is something that Blizzard faced many years ago with the quality of the rewards offered in-game vs in the cash shop. There were many mounts in the cash shop that had completely new rigs and models, while the rewards from the in-game content was a reskin of something old. I totally understand your concern, because I've been thinking about it myself. Square is usually pretty good about providing quality content, and I'm hoping they deliver on the "more rewards" philosophy they claim to be taking with this expansion. I think high quality emotes can be added to the cash shop as long as the quality of the in-game rewards is appropriately improved as well!
Emotes like this are for testing animations and emote lengths for future animations in cutscenes. So it's going to cost a little more. Same with Pantomime and the umbrella dance
They went over this in a LL last year. (maybe 2022)
I personally feel anyone complaining about the online store doesn't know what an actual predatory online store looks like. They have so far to fall before it would even approach such a level and I very much doubt the devs would ever let it go that far.
You raise quite a valid point. I love collecting various emote and trinkets, and as time passed I noticed this shift in quality. Now we get less cool in-game rewards, especially in events (like uchiwasshoi or tits furniture), but better stuff appears in mogstation. Like c'mon I'm already paying not cheap subscription, I don't want f2p-like treatment.
Don't like it? Don't buy it. Do like it? Do buy it! Don't want to buy it but like it? Make a video like this I guess..
Square Enix keep releasing games exclusive to console, they've have major revenue loss over the last few years. Every delayed game that comes to PC runs bad and gets bad reviews.
So yes they will keep putting most effort into store items and it will only get worse. I would love to be wrong though.
Are there people that actually have a problem with xiv cash is like one of the best nothing in is mandatory and a lot of is ill advised (job skip, story skip) you can't buy gil and i feel a lot of the stuff in it doesn't look that great compared to the stuff ppl come up with on their own for glams.
Thank you for pointing this out. I don't know why so many FFXIV fans turn feral when you direct reasonable criticism at any aspect of the game, nevermind its cash shop, but things like this need to be said.
Sadly events have been really lackluster while the mogstation keeps geting new things even when the game is suposedly at its at one of the best number of player ever.
If we were geting cool things for seasonal events it wouldnt be that bad, but compared to other games where if you miss sumer attires you can get it next year in 14 if you miss it you will only be able to get it in the mogstore.
I have seen dead f2p games get minigames, attires, and even a seasonal dungeon for halloween, at least this year the clothes are cool even if they do not match as a set by any means.
Man i love 14 and its square bigest game, it sad to see it having longer and longer dev times, mediocre events, almost no long term content in last expansion, the island being mediocre and not even decorable at will, recicled armors from an already recicled design, all while at the same time another game was being made and at least 2 more games are in development by the studio
