Another reason why there is no significant reason for anyone outside of Japan to play this game. They make it glaringly obvious that is the only player base they remotely care about.
Since several people here expressed frustration about not being able to get the cap, I placed up my extra keychains on E-bay for what I think is a decent fixed price considering the madness necessary to get it at the Tokyo Game Show. I had a press pass so I was able to get all three varieties.
The code is included inthe instructions, and can still be used. This WILL be your last chance at the item though, so I'd encourage those of you who don't have it to take a look.
I don't know if I'm allowed to direct link from here, but just putting in "moogle cap" in the E-bay search window will bring it up.
It would be nice if FFXI would be fair on giving out items like this. Once Again, only the Japenese will have a cool item to help out 1 party member per day. Not everyone is indepently wealthy that they can drop what they are doing fly across the world just to get cool items. So far it would have cost me just to get these exclusive event items since they have been giving them out is $44685.00 (with the cheapest airfares, cheapest car rentals, and cheapest hotels). The closest event to where I live so far has been over 1200 miles away. SE, FFXI, and POL need to get their act together and make it fair. I could see if there is an event in the game and you miss it, then you don't get Item(s). But to have to shell out big bucks (like an RMT) just to get a special event item.
It won't be so special though if they will just distribute it to anyone. I actually went to tokyo game show and within a few minutes of opening the keychains(keychains comes with the moogle cap code with it) ran out. Many people voiced out their complaints so they decided on selling the keychains for limited time.
