In the post-Dawntrail era, The Final Fantasy 14 community hasn’t been entirely pleased with the state of the MMO, and a very pricey recent addition to the online cash shop has turned the vibes from “bad” to something approaching “rancid.”
The FF14 Online Store, known simply as the cash shop to most players, is where you go to buy real-money cosmetics. There’s no in-game equivalent, but the web store has been offering various optional purchases for years. Among the options are costume sets, which initially offered seasonal outfits for $5 apiece, but over the years have come to include famous Final Fantasy costumes and other fancier clothing options for anywhere from $18 to $22 USD.
Now we have the belt-leather attire. It’s similarly priced to previous outfits, but crucially it’s split into two very nearly identical, but separate collections. Want the standard set? That’ll be $18 USD. Want the version with slightly shorter pants and a fashionable hole in the back of the shirt? That’ll be another $18.
