Final Fantasy 14discourse often repeats itself.

Thats largely because the same issues persist and arent always addressed.

But its not always player drama.

Sometimes, its because Square Enix isnt listening to fan feedback as much as it could be.

Dont get me wrong, its a nice looking figure.

But is it worth the price?

Fan consensus says not, and I agree.

The real pain point with this item isnt the quality of the figure for the price, though.

Its the code that comes with it, which gives players the Ballroom Etiquette - Apocalyptic Charades emote.

FFXIV’s Echoes of Vana’diel raid will be a trip down memory lane for me.

For this pricey statue code, it unfortunately falls into the latter.

Thats changed in recent years, much to the disappointment of the community.

They just want more codes.

Fun fact, the Hydaelyn and Zodiark model has already sold out!

It seems utterly daft to restrict codes in this way when previous merch items used to offer account-wide use.
