Closed nice going there nexon.
at first when i saw there was gonna be a cross over event i wondered if it'd be any good. was actually going to try it. but as a player who plays almost entirely without nx due to not being able to afford it, i like many others whom play without use of nx are unable to play. thanks for making another pay to play event. event items are going to be impossible to buy off players in game due to them feeling the need to get their "money's worth" on digital items they bought with real money, so yeah thanks for closing the door on so many people. hopefully next cross over event that gets done, the team in charge of coming up with it will remember that a good part of the player base might not have access to nx whenever they please. we're not all made out of money you know.

Either way, the clothing of every crossover we've ever had was only obtainable through the cash shop. I don't see how this one is any different.
It's unfortunately just a crossover sale.
So you're right, in that free players are gonna have a tough time getting their hands on these items without shelling out a, probably not small, amount of gold on buying off another player, but that's the seller's prerogative, to get as much bang for their buck.
Or buck for their buck?
And if you wanted the Kokopo pet, the need for a Pet Adoption Medal just adds to the cost.
I feel for the players who can't or refuse to buy the gachapon, outfit bags, or pet, yet who at the same time, want to have something to do with this crossover.
Then again, I also feel for the paying players who wanted this crossover to be an actual Event, instead of just a themed sale.
so I guess nexon went like -Removed- we say we loot their money.
make everything cheap by raise the % before they publish something new and awesome!

And truthfully, if someone is having money issues in their personal life, they should concern themselves with that more than a crossover on a game.
My birthday was three days ago so I got NX to buy myself and my friend a Kokopo.
Now hoping Christmas brings me more NX.
hUEHUEHUE
But yeah. At least make that NX thing last until New Years Day.
With Christmas/New Year coming up, and Nexon would make a killing if the extra NX was there still. More reasons for us to buy bulk.
FMA crossover was years ago. Literal ages. Getting rights to the IP (Intellectual Property) would be nigh impossible over here because the owners are different, and they likely see no reason to do it since as far as I know, FMA isn't being worked on right now. From a quick look, only Yen Press is actually doing anything, and that's digital releases of the original manga. Getting the rights to content that's around six years old and the go-to from Square Enix is not going to happen.
Additionally, Nekojima =/= Doki Doki. Same island, but Nekojima is JP Exclusive Content. They wont release the original island anywhere else. This isn't surprising, or new, because JP has had several other crossovers and exclusive content that most people don't even know about, such as a Shakugan no Shana crossover a few years back; JP-Exclusive content isn't new, and its extremely common in other games as well. KR/NA got Doki-Doki island because of a compromise to make a Valentine's Day themed event of it, and JP ended up getting a version of it as well(which we got for the second doki-doki return).
This is a crossover event that's pretty much just a clothing and pet sale. Not exactly unheard of and most folks who know of JP content would laugh at you. FMA required you to buy the cards by the way, so that is also locked behind a pay barrier.
We just got MusicQ and numerous revamps, a pet that isn't locked in a gacha and a shuffle board (just like the school uni shuffles) with the new outfits. We're also guaranteed two, possibly even three gachapons because of MusicQ, Winter, and Utawarerumono. They might mash the Winter with MusicQ. And before you say "Waah, Waah, more pay to obtain stuff!"
...You can always buy things from another player generous enough to sell it. Be glad that that's actually possible because some games lock cash-bought items, sometimes for a month, sometimes permanently.
Also, at this point, you are just making excuses because you have not once tried quoting or replying to anyone here. Case and point, this cash crossover was a great idea, I know so many people happy about it. You know how many people are happy because the outfits are common and that the pet is a 100% guarantee, instead of getting pet gacha's and say ending up with 10 foxes as opposed to 1 bird. I highly doubt they are 4-8mil for the common outfits. People are even willing to trade male for female outfits and vive versa which rarely happens.
Just glancing at the recent quarterly earnings, we don't even bring in a tenth of Nexon's revenue. China handles approximately half the revenue with Korea leading over Japan in the other half of 40%, then us barely scraping over EU give or take 2%.
