I have been in the game since the closed beta of PS3 (i paid monthly in practically all these months) and, as much as I like the game, as soon as my account credit is finished i must abandon the game.

Same price as for all now, but we don't have russian data center and don't have russian language in game...
How about same service and other things for us with same price?

All these prices were available via Steam and Steam has had great tools to detect a customer region and also banned permanently any attempts to fake it.

I am from Europe and I already thought that we are seen as third rate customers and after all the items in the mog station (and their prices) and the horrible campaigns in EU I really thought that they could not top it...how badly mistaken I was..This is really the new top of how to treat your customers like dirt and I really hope that this will be a decision that they will regret..

I am also more than shocked to see people that are defending something like that..even after players already said that they could understand a price increase but not that nothing of this was communicated..How would we feel if our sub would suddenly double or even triple? With no notice before that?

The situation at launch showed quite the lack of communication, the body language and talk of Yoshida showed quite some disrespect for some players and now this...

As a Europe customer I will now refrain from buying any item from the mog station ever again, I will not recommend this game to anyone anymore and I will surely look at the whole company only with distrust and skeptic..well done SE..

I would have been fine if they notified us about it before SB launch. I would've continued to pay this ridiculous price since I love the game and all my friends that are here. I was even subbing to this game when I couldn't play for months, just to support SE. With these recent news, that we weren't even worth a notification beforehand made me extremely disappointed.

If this is another method how they decided to fight with server congestion - sure.

Let's not forget players from Australia and New Zealand also are able to pay 30 AUD for game time cards on some stores even tho it'd cost more than that to sub via mog station. It wasn't just Brazil and Russia. Other countries had a different pricing for sub. The change is too sudden.

Only the Brazilian players with decent English skills can post here because if they used Portuguese without translating themselves their posts would be deleted.

Like, the least SE could do is make a sub forum for them but that hasn't happened.

Square Enix should at least give players the option to refound the Stormblood DLC for those that bought the game and can't afford the new price changes. I know that A LOT of people wouldn't buy the DLC if they knew about the changes in the subscription price.

Well, sad, but I will continue paying. I only cannot fight against addiction after 6.000+ hours playing this game.

SE Return money for the Steam game client and all its dlc. Either I demand full correspondence of services for Russians and Brazilians, as well as for any other countries who have suffered in this situation. Namely, 1) the translation into national languages of the entire client and dlc, 2) the official sapport in the national language, 3) and everything else that has the English-speaking consumer in the English version.
