We have been giving Remaining Fantasy 14’s beauty retailer larger and greater passes as time’s gone on. Like most FF14 gamers, I am grateful we do not have to take care of loot containers or battle passes or any of that nonsense—so what is the hurt in a $29.99 motorcycle to grease the wheels every now and then? We’re paying for our hubris now, as a result of this isn’t nice.
Sq. Enix revealed the Iceheart’s Apparel on Twitter/X yesterday. For the uninitiated, that is the outfit of a central character from the Heavensward growth, Ysale (in any other case often called Girl Iceheart). They’ve bought related outfits prior to now, permitting gamers to pay a couple of bucks to get NPC-specific gear for his or her Warrior of Gentle, both for digital cosplay causes or as distinctive choices for completely new outfits.

Qalexiaffxiv on Twitter/X took to the location to totally lay out how you might recreate one thing that is principally simply pretty much as good. All the things (apart from the gown) is gear you get from finishing a tutorial named the “Corridor of the Novice” at round stage 15.
The chest piece Qalexiaffxiv mentions is a stage 90 piece of drugs unique to spellcasters, whereas the paid equal can be utilized on all jobs—besides consumer Tazthemenace discovered a class-agnostic equal within the Altered Felt Gown, so it does not even have that going for it.

Lucy Pyre, a well-liked FF14 v-tuber, commented: “that is 18 {dollars}? you recognize it isn’t april 1st but, proper? you’re joking, proper??? haha humorous????? 18 {dollars}??????? 18 {dollars} ?? ? ?”
I’ve saved her question-mark spacing intact, as a result of I really feel prefer it correctly conveys our shared bafflement. Youtuber Kouagon additionally posted this, which on the time of writing has about 400 extra likes than the unique announcement. A small ratio, however it checks out.
