Thanks for that, I heard them talk about Platinum but missed the context.

I'm still going at this from the eye of a skeptic until we get pricing/finalization. From what I'm seeing English speakers aren't the only ones upset about there being pay options and it's common knowledge that they tend to listen more to their JP fanbase than everyone else.

Not defending it, just saying people are more than willing to pay extra for fluff items despite the fact they are paying a monthly fee. By no means is it an indication that the game is going downhill or that it will go F2P. Simply and indication that companies can and will take advantage of the fact that people will blindly throw money at anything.

It's going downhill as a game. I know that there's people willing to throw thousand of euros to a cash shop, but such a game (and company) wouldn't be remembered as a good one by most players, specially when doing things like these.

All the goodwill and respect that SE won by redoing the game, they're losing it with their double-dipping. Congrats if it works for them, but they can be damn sure that if they flop again in the future people won't be as willing to give them a third chance and support them.

Wtf....this is ridiculous...

This is a p2p game!!!!

Yes, but I'm sure a lot of people are on FFXIV because it was (at first) the only MMO without cancer, I mean Cash shop. So if our precious game is the same as others and our devs keep messing with what they put in it (Hunt, Personal housing, Chocobo stable, Gardening, ect), their customers will just go on an other game.

It's becoming a P2P2P, pay to play to pay, or pay to pay to play, it's certainly not just pay to play anymore.

Seeing as how the marriage ceremony will require a gm present, as well as the other stuff, I can see why they have it set this way. I think people are over reacting, as usual, but whatever. "the game is dying/going f2p" topics have been going on since launch.. give it a rest.

There had better be counseling involved in the pay package...

I hate the gold and platinum plan. I'll still pay for it if it's something like $10, but watch it be between $40-$100. Because prepaid visa's can't be used anymore(not Canadian ones anyway, because no ultimate pay) every time I need to use their shop for anything but the sub it's a pain in the ass. I have to use a family members visa fml... If they had paypal I actually wouldn't mind this feature as much because I could hook that up instead...

No GM. It's all automated.

Last I heard, GMs won't be involved with Eternal Bonding at all. What "other stuff" are you talking about?
