The developers of Final Fantasy 14 recently announced a new outfit in the shop, but it caused a stir within the community as many players are convinced that it is already available for free in the game.
What outfit is it? The developers of Final Fantasy 14 announced on April 10th. Among other things, it was announced on X that a new outfit was available in the shop that costs €9. This is an outfit of the popular character Alphinaud Leveleur.
The set consists of a total of 4 parts:
However, this outfit has caused a lot of excitement within the community as many players are convinced that the same outfit is already available for free in the game.

Why do you already get the outfit for free? A large portion of the player base has commented on X, among other things, that the same outfit is already craftable. For example, user roegamaniac on X notes with a screenshot that clothing is already available. This item is the “Brightlinen Gambison of Scouting”.
What particularly annoys many players is that, unlike the new outfit, this item can be dyed in any color. Therefore, many players are rightly asking themselves 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 to the announcement on X: the outfit can already be crafted in different colors in the game. Given this fact, reactions have been rather muted.
Some users commented as follows:
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:
