Over time, this is not a nickel and dime scheme. And do you honestly think that SE will not refund the money if and when they decide to shut down FFXI? The have to, based on International Commerce Laws. Otherwise they are liable to refund the entire subscription costs to everyone. So which is cheaper, refunding the buck and a half to everyone for overpayment on crysta, or refunding thousands of dollars per player over the years?

You should really get over this whole "Corporations are out to screw the little people" idea of yours. All it will give you is ulcers in the long run.

Show me where the crysta refund section is.

this is old but still very relevant, the best part (from a business perspective, not from a customer perspective) is that with Crysta, MS points, Wii Points(though these tend to be better on their increments) is that when someone uses a giftcard, if there is overflow they can pay with cash, whereas with these points system overflow on the purchase requires buying more points which are almost certain to never match up properly to the amount actually being spent, its a perfect way for a company to guarantee a little extra profit

so even if the amount that I would lose would be minimal, I can't support Crysta out of principal

There are no principles to object to. It's not a money making scheme.

Apparently, this is a choice between a generic devil and Satan.

read the link I posted, just like gift cards it IS a money making scheme, if they weren't trying to get extra profit out of it we'd be able to buy in any amounts

I will when you show me where SE announced that FFXI will be terminated.

You know what, there is no point in arguing with fanatics who believe that everything is a scheme to get something out of them.

At least SE are doing these money grubbing things at the right time. People wouldn't have accepted this at 75 cap, but now that it is between 75 cap and 99 cap, people will feel forced to stay just to see if the game becomes good enough to put up with the Crysta system.

While they are terrible at customer support, they sure know how to make money.

and yet after those 9 months i still have $1 left over, i dont like overpaying

Hum would it be offset by the service charge that comes with the other option? This is confusing but my last online game it was the same . If you wanted to use game cards they cost more than the monthly game fee. I always opted for the credit card/debit card. In the current economy the games fees themselves are a luxury, so being asked to cover additional fees or additional monthly service charges is a bit much.

Is there any option that does not call for extra cash up front? It's really not fair to drop expenses over the established amount on people out of the blue. Some people have to budget ahead for extra stuff.

And as we've already pointed out, ffxi being terminated will not refund your money anyway. So that's irrelevant.

You have obviously never read international commerce law, have you?
