Soulcoin, to ween off the people from using souls. Then the WoL rugpulls them and goes on his real holiday with the money he stole from Solution 9

If this guy gets square to do it he's gonna get an assisted Self deletion badge like in the call of duty games xD

We still need the eat chicken emote.

The company can also get more funds. like instead of buying MSQ Skips or Job skips u could buy a package of ADs skips where u could buy from 1.99 to skip 5 ads to $100 to skip 200 Ads per month only. and if u dont play that month like the sub u lose the chance to skip those ads.

It could also work for example as popups while playing on emerging windows. just see how NBA games did it could work well here.

And im not posing as a player , i am a Player of this game and we need ADS. im just investigating if people would like a suscription based on Ads. and how folks are reacting to it, because lets be honest we need more money for the game to get more content.

If you dont like ADS maybe we can remove them but add them in the loggin queue as mandatory watch and answer a survey , if u dont watch ur queue freezes till u watch some ads, it would be a lot of profit on new EXPAC release just imagine how much profit would be for this company on players waiting for the queue of 500 to 1000 players and watching tons of ads!

Also that would open the chance aswell for having some brands inside the game imagine if u could have now established brands inside the game like idk maybe Gucci sunglasses or stuff like that.

but yeah could be good , also i used to work before in ADs related stuff irl and got the idea since i worked in implementing this in other games!!

lets get this game big and get more attention with ADS.

Maybe also we could get aswell FFXIV crypto involved in the game NFTS and more stuff that it would make it really interesting and attract a lot of farmers and players

They can add some variety in MSQ cutscene dialog trees too, since they usually just lead to the same end anyway. Like suppose we had this in one of the opening quests to Dawntrail:

Wuk Lamat: "So this is Tuliyollal. What do you want to do first, <forename>?"

What will you select?

> I want to explore the city! (Begins advertisement for footwear)
> I want to try some local cuisine! (Begins advertisement for GrubHub)
> I just want to get some rest... (Begins advertisement for new bedding)

I think there should be an unskippable ad before every pvp match and after every pvp match too.

There's some real good ideas here to get Square Enix some more money. I hope they take it.

That's a great idea! Ul'dah should look like a NASCAR event, Square!

Or you could pay a monthly subscription fee like I do for FFXIV, YouTube Premium, and DI.FM to eliminate advertisements forever because I can hear the fnords.

We have seen mixed reactions to the idea of integrating unskippable ads.
The future of Final Fantasy XIV depends on financial sustainability, and developers need more funding to continue delivering high-quality content.
Without additional revenue streams, the game risks entering maintenance mode, where new updates and expansions become infrequent or nonexistent.
One potential solution is the integration of advertisements within the game.

The gaming community often holds strong opinions regarding advertisements in games, and in this case, the backlash stems primarily from concerns over immersion, and the overall impact on gameplay.

Many players tend to judge advertising in games harshly, assuming that any form of in-game advertisement is inherently predatory or disruptive.
However, not all implementations are equal.
We feel that what we are thinking feels natural or even enhances the experience.

There are several extra approaches that could make this transition more palatable for players.
One option would be to implement in-game billboards in city hubs, themed to fit within the lore of Eorzea.
Another could be optional sponsorships for in-game events, where players could engage with ads voluntarily for cosmetic rewards.
Cosmetic collaborations with brands that align with FFXIV’s aesthetic might also be a viable option, allowing players to opt into themed gear or housing items

In-game ads could become a necessary feature in FFXIV, appearing in various areas such as raids, instances, cutscenes, and even the login queue.
While this concept may seem controversial, it would provide a steady income source to ensure ongoing content development, server stability, and improved game features.

Many successful games have already adopted advertising models, allowing players to experience additional content in exchange for brief ad interactions.
If implemented correctly, this could allow FFXIV to maintain its high production values while avoiding drastic subscription increases.

If we want to continue experiencing new expansions, raids, and stories, we must accept that in-game advertising might be the future.
By embracing these changes, we can ensure the longevity and evolution of the world of Eorzea for years to come.

The game has done well enough without your idea of unskippable ads. To be clear, if this game ever incorporates unskippable ads I will never buy another game from SE again. No thank you!

No thanks, SE do earn enough on this game as it is, and could earn more, but they decided to neglect FFXIV as it is.

The Grand Advertiser
Ad Whisperer
The Ad-Venturer
Echo of the Ad Wave
The Sponsored Warrior

No thanks, no thanks and no thanks, I pay for playing this game already, I think you must have lost it for good, and SE earn enough on this game to make it run, they just neglect development.

Please go away.

100% agree! If you die to twisters you should be forced to watch an unskippable 30 second ad after the pulls over, this also stacks if you get revived and die to twisters again

I have been adding so many fake toxic positivity posters to my ignore list lately because I'm so sick of interesting discussions getting clogged with satirical white knights trolling. It was funny the first dozen times, now it has become tiresome.

Why does everyone reply to this obvious shitpost so seriously?

Ngl made me even laugh for a second. It's obviously sarcasm.

With all due respect. Hope you dont get offended. I want to be respectful like we should as a community of ffxiv. But ads would really help boost ffxiv to new heights. Imagine the revenue.
They could hire more devs and pr

F U. Respectfully.

Lets be real folks game development isn't cheap. The proposal is real, and it would be good because we would get more content, faster updates, and bigger experiences.

But to make that happen, the staff needs more money, motivation, and resources. No one likes waiting ages for new patches, right? This new approach means less waiting and way more awesome stuff coming your way.

And here's the exciting part: this also opens the door for huge collaborations with famous brands and insane crossovers.

Imagine your favorite franchises making an appearance in Eorzea!

To make all this possible, i got already the idea and proposal for the new premium subscription model.

Yes, the prices are going up, but so are the benefits!

Limit Break Ads – Every time your party uses a limit break, a short ad plays before the animation.

Branded FATE Events – Help fight off a horde of Primal-possessed Coca-Cola Elementals!


Yeah, it’s a big change, but we truly believe this is the next step in making FINAL FANTASY XIV bigger and better than ever.
We want to take this game to the next level, and this is how we make it happen.

Exciting things are on the horizon, and as someone who loves this game I can say that this is just the beginning, Stay tuned for even more surprises and proposals.

Thanks for your feedback too.

[QUOTE=Calafieromomias;6667514]Lets be real folks game development isn't cheap. The proposal is real, and it would be good because we would get more content, faster updates, and bigger experiences.

The problem about this is the price hike. You wanba ease into this. Ok so imagine this.

7.99 - base game / sub / expansion

14.99 - base game / sub / expansion / additional character slot / 1 retainer slot

29.99 - base game / sub / expansion / exclusive housing furniture monthly / 1 character slot / 1 retainer slot

60.00 - base game / sub / expansion / exclusive housing furniture / 1 exclusive account bound outfit m & f / 2 additional character slots / 2 retainer slots / bonus gil and exp

Final tier for 99.99 base game/ sub / collectors edition code / expansion / account bound mount / monthly outfit m& f / housing furniture / 3 additional character slots / 3 additional retainer slots / 4 additional kuppo nuts / bonus gil and exp x2 / 1 adfitional apartment on account (account bound) / each month 1 exclusive weapon camo for class that are voted by community.

You have to give a better reason and incentive for boosting subs and keep the price realistic raising it the way you did would kill the game off. Gotta ease into it entice the rewards not release slop.

This, this is one reason I really hate humans such a greedy bunch of hairless monkeys with thumps

Furniture like S9 themed LCD screen or Phasmascape that shows animation of current collab brand and it's product like the bubble tea or pizza or the clothes brand or hair shampoo. (basically, the ad will rotate by the month and/or by current collab).

you can place up to 10 in your personal house or apartment and you can /target it and /grovel once per 24 hours and it will give the player 5000 gil and it will play sound "good!"
