I'm not so sure about that. It can refer to the max amount of characters we can add to an account for additional charges, not how many we get as a base number. The way the wrote it does seem to indicate you're correct, though. Not to mention Yoshi-P isn't stubborn enough to shrug off standard MMO formulas, as I'm sure we've all seen by now.
Irrelevant to me since I really want to focus on this one character, but good news for alt addicts I suppose. The lifetime discount was a huge surprise, and a very welcome one. More chocobo swag is awesome. The note about adding our character names to the credits makes me laugh if only because it seems like they're basically saying "thanks for beta testing". Nice to be appreciate at least, haha.
Edit: Nevermind, just read Yoshi's post. Nice to see they're ditching the whole "character fee" thing. <3
