Um the Expansion isn't 50 bucks its 40 bucks, 60 if you want a the CE download stuff and 130 if you want all the CE physical stuff.

As long as it does has a much content as 2.0 launch I'll pay for a digital CE (no choice on EU PS3...) but it does seem pricey, most I paid for ex-packs in past was £20 for the C&C series expansions.

Canada as well, 2 day shipping + physical CE, my total was $200.08 ...ouch lol

CE is tailored to "collectors" so the pricing is whatever SE feels it can be sold on, anything added to "base" expansion is a plus so you will be the one deciding if all extra stuff is worth of the price. Will not talk about 'unique' items because you all know, it will be likely to happen you can get them anyway later on shop.

Or else you can buy just the base expansion. Extra stuff is extra.

Steam sale where?
Jk lol

Technically, it's not just "Legacy players" but everybody who suscribed during FFXIV v1.

Bought the game, created your account, despised the obvious beta and never touched the game until ARR ? You also got it free.
And, at lauch, I'm sure v1 players were the vast majority of ARR playerbase.

3DS games, they're all $40. So it's technically the lowest point cost for a brand new game.

A little bit of advocate. I'm constantly low on cash due to bills, and FFXIV's subscription is where the little that is left goes.

What do you do when you buy a brand new MMORPG? Level up through quests, explore the zones, gear up and play endgame.

What are you going to do when Heavensward launches? Level up through quests, explore the zones, gear up and play endgame.

Dude.. Mobile games are like $5.

Where's my $5 expansion? That's how much games cost now, right?

MMO expansions have been $40 for decades. If anything they should be MORE because of inflation, which is why WoW's newest one is $50.

They said that it will have as much content as the main game, so the Heavensward standard edition is priced reasonably.
