Why not add a way to buy rainbow mog pells?

Please. No cash shop for XI.

Inflation is a serious issue for a game with a set fee that has not increased in 23 years, in effect the game loses money every year compared to the last, and the costs to run it are constantly rising. Normally it's pretty small but since Covid it's been out of control.

I made this post because I read Yoshda talking about ff14 and how important the cash shop is for that game, due to global inflation. They even stated they don't want to be forced to increase the sub, and only the cash shop allows them to not have to do that.

XI has a smaller population, as the game becomes less profitable due to inflation they just start reducing the size of the dev team (they literally already did that 2 years ago. The problem with this is A) demoralization of those who remain and B) they can't make content even comparable to what came 3 years ago cause there are less people making it

This creates a spiral that damages the game, and reduces content for the thing you're putting 20-30+ hours into a week.

I don't want a standard increase in sub, so suggesting optional items that you can already get in other ways should not be a problem.

Expecting a company to not rises prices inline with inflation isn't customer greed, usually it's just ignorance to how inflation works. However being against them finding ways to offset inflation is incredibly dumb, and counter productive if you care about the thing existing. For instance mog wardrobes among other things are why the game is still running, and the management didn't already pull the plug.
