I remember every Final Fantasy having its own unique story, feel, and look, with few similarities between them. This is blatant and obvious fan service to get more advertising. FFXIII is their cash cow right now, and they are just beating it to death to get some extra cash. I bought this game to play FFXIV, not FFXIV Presents FFXIII. Of course one could make the argument "Don't wear the gear if you don't like it." but frankly, I don't even want to see it.
And that's all I have to say on this subject.
EVEN THOUGH I HONOR YOU, GUILDY, I'm going to have to disagree here.
I'm pretty sure all of the content that will be added to the game will be free, so there's not much of a cash grab as some people seem to be seeing it as, and more just... regular marketing? This sort of thing happens all the time, even within the other Final Fantasy games.
I mean, I'll be skipping the outfits, but the weapons... look damn awesome. Even if you're not a fan of the game itself, just looking at the weapon options on their own have their own merits. There's some pretty sound designs there. And to add on to that, I'm also pretty sure that this stuff will only be implemented in an event, suggesting that it'll only be around for a short period. So even if you hate the idea of seeing hundreds of Lightning copy cats running around (which honestly has me wincing as well), it'll only be for a short time... hopefully.
