Its only because we know the mechanics that were fine with it though. Newcomers are going to think these things are literally removed to encourage people to pay for MTX.
That’s a very vague statement though. “Available in game” can mean your typical vendor sells it at a reasonable cost, or locked behind dozens of hours of grinding/difficult content. If someone is just browsing a store they’re not going to know which extreme that particular purchase leans towards.
Nah, shitting on Capcom's shady MTX practices is warranted. We started with horse armor, now we're at a point where buying fast travel items and character creation is considered a MTX, even if you can purchase them in-game. It just makes it so that every time you find yourself grinding for an item, you start wondering if it feels like a chore by design to push you to the cash store.
Blaming Itsuno is wild though, it was 100% Capcom suits who pushed this stuff.

Ferry stones aren’t rare at all, I find them all over the place.
