so every poll on here is rigged? a poll on a site like blue gartr (which you dont even know about unless you play the MMOs they have) are all suddenly rigged? you need to stop trying to disregard everything. Though they are not 100% correct, they have some truth in them. Defend paying full price all you want, its clear it will hurt just as much as it will help this game.

by rigged it means, who here would honestly choose paying more over paying less

your average person will ALWAYS vote less especialy if they think itl save them money

Hi Renta,

Great topic (as usual)! :)

I think this pricing compromise is definitely one way to let SE gain some additional cash flow while also retaining the good will of their remaining dedicated players, and mitigate some of the ill-will or hard feelings for paying for an "unfinished game," especially since Version 2.0 is a promise of so much more than what we have now.

I'd be fine with a Half Price for a Half-Finished Game subscription for now, but I enjoy enough of FF XIV right now that I'd be OK with their full price subscription if need be (but only if my friends were still playing).

I'm cool with paying half price, had a bad taste in mouth over full price tag for half a game.

It isn't a scientific poll, but it does bring up the case that maybe further research into the matter is warranted.

People are still using this "I don't want to pay for half a game" bull argument?

Yoshida has stated that the game was at 50%....BEFORE 1.90. He has also stated that the game is at an acceptable level to start charging AROUND 1.20/1.21.

Meaning that he and the Development Team feel that 1.20 puts XIV at a point closer to 100% and that it's a launch worthy title, at which point you would start paying a subscription.

Now knock it off. You don't sound witty, you don't sound smart. You sound like a bandwagon hater and a tool.

dont be such a cheap shit, just pay for the god damn game or quit because your that poor

@Pandastirfry. You are very right. And the stages are pretty funny to watch.

If SE does partial price now, then raises after 2.0, there will be backlash with a larger population. Better in the long run that SE puts their foot down now in regards to the price.

Omitting analogies in this post.

is it? is that why the entire game is being knocked down and replaced come 2.0? ok sure defend paying full price over half price for a halfgame thats getting replaced. I can believe people are still trying to say its NOT a half game considering it is being completely replaced Because its a halfgame. I'd love to pay half price as i feel itd maintian a lot more attention going in to 2.0. PR can go a long way, stop being elitist fools.

i dont agree with this at all being that when 2.0 releases alot of people will be coming back since launch or for the first time ever hopefully. So they will be all about paying full price being that they know what they are getting in to with mmos. A free month comes with 2.0 so people can decide then if it is worth full price for them, not now when the whole game is getting rewritten.

I would probably pay 5$ for it.

12$? No, thanks.
