What shop item is it? The developers of Final Fantasy 14 announced on April 10th, among other things, on X that a new outfit is available in the shop for €9. It is the garment of the popular character Alphinaud Leveilleur.

The set consists of a total of 4 pieces:

  • Crystarium top of the prodigy
  • Crystarium mittens of the prodigy
  • Crystarium pants of the prodigy
  • Crystarium knee boots of the prodigy

However, this has caused excitement within the community, as the player base is convinced that the same item already exists for free in the game.

Why is the outfit already available for free? A large portion of the player base noted on X that Alphinaud’s clothing is already craftable. For example, the user roegamaniac points out on X with a screenshot that clothing is already available. This is the item “Brightlinen Gambison of Scouting”.

What particularly annoys players is that this item can be dyed in any color, unlike the new one. Therefore, many players rightfully ask why they should spend €9 in the shop for Alphinaud’s clothing.

Reactions from the community: The community seems to largely agree in the comments on the announcement on X: The equipment can already be crafted in various colors in the game. Given this fact, the reactions are rather lukewarm.

Some users commented as follows:

  • RealAntles comments via X: It requires a divine intervention to make me buy an outfit in the shop.
  • mochadot_gg notes via X: Why are you selling something that I can earn for free in the game?
  • _Herosenpai writes on X: There is already gear that looks like that. Where is the originality? What a shame.

Alphinaud is a very popular character in Final Fantasy 14, and his voice actor also has a close bond with his voice twin. You can read how this came about here:
