so you want to invest on game where you expect playing before V2.0.instead you need some kind of delusional compensation of how they work in a webcam feedback? you sir are made of gold, pretty much there is a similarity between you and
the famous nutsack ellohwell. you people made me laugh when you dont know the word between investment and *pay to play*

Nothings gonna change your gonna pay for poo and their sitting back laughing at you.....MUWAHAHAHAHA

Sry guys, but rude is making us pay for a game that just started getting fixed. Content that works would be nice. Maybe even content that has purpose in the game lol.

you're still around ?
Also, ifrit have purpose in the game and it's fun. What's your problem ?

Well there is that whole "year-long seasonal event" they're going to start up eventually. You know, the story and events leading up to the world-changing event that beings 2.0. Anything you get from that will be exclusive to older players, not to mention you get to witness the history of what will be Eorzea in 2.0.

I also love being apart of a game that’s slowly building to something great and seeing what was and what is now. Final Fantasy XIV has come so far thanks to Yoshi-p and his team. But this isn’t why I’m writing this post, I’m writing this post because unfortunately we will be getting charged full price monthly for an unfinished product.

So my suggestion is while we will be paying $12.99 or more a month for an unfinished product we the customer do not want to be kept in the dark any longer. For us subscribers we would like exclusives. During the PS2 release of FFXI there was a nifty little app on the community website called “Vana’diel Winds.” For those that don’t know what this app was or still is (I say was because it no longer works for me). This app connected potential new players and others to a live feed of a hidden camera flying throughout the world of Vana’diel, which showcased the game and the activities within.

I propose something similar but within the developer’s office, we would like to watch you all work on v2.0 almost like we watch sports on television or a reality TV show without the commentary or “drama” just work like you have been day by day and forget the camera’s are there. Set up live 24/7 webcam feeds behind key members of the developing team including over Yoshi-p’s desk and all meetings with adequate audio and video.

We can’t just rely on a promise from Square Enix anymore we are investing our money in to this project so like the concerned investor we want to see what’s going on. If the community agrees with this and would be willing to pay IF they implement this then please bring traffic to this post.

Of course after v2.0 is out you can stop the live feeds, but don’t forget we’ve stuck around and remember us a veterans so compensate us with something in game via items or exclusives? Maybe an open public test server and everyone who stays and pays from the beginning of the subscription fee up to release of v2.0 will be first pick when requesting beta patch testers. Also this would be how you determine who are veterans by who’s stayed within that period of time.

Dear OP, here's why I like your post,

You're opening a discussion that's pretty much on everyone's minds. While we want to stay but we don't way to pay at rate that's questionable that's bending the rules of the reality of business and the morality of game production. I can't help but notice people can't seem to bite their tongues when ever there's a heated argument. It reminds of the controversial issue where I read an article a group of people that made threats against those whether global warming was to be blamed for the environment.

This is just a typical example where people just need to agree and disagree. It's just one big mess then leads to rudeness or sarcasm even. I envy the devs for the fact they have to put up with this sort of trend lately, and surprised they haven't closed the lodestone forum just yet.
