"Care" might be a bit too strong of a word to use. It was more that we were just told to vote by our teacher during homeroom period. For the most part, it was like you said, where friends would just vote for their own. During my senior year though, being the ***hats that we were, I remember we voted in this guy as a joke that uhh... well, let's say he wouldn't have won any popularity contests. Funny at the time, and the guy seemed to enjoy himself, but an absolutely **** move to the girl lol.

Yeah i was just expanding maybe quoting you confused that. /doh!

Im hating this mount extremily, imagine multiple FAT asses with tiny pig feet on your whole screen when rushing to S rank spawn. While huge mount is ok when the actual body of mount is under the rider and ingame physics doesnt clutter your viewing area with said mounts animations in your face. But those obesse shitholes swiveling in your face as mount user does his movement inputs is realy disgusting to me personaly.
If only they would change the model of that fatass to be something more like huge muscular moogle and not this overblown ready to die from gangrene parody, because flowers and seating chair is cute tho.....

The back of the mount reminds me of moobs. Can never unsee. D:

I'll be sure to use the mount more often and possibly start a fat moogle parade in Idyleshire.

That's....weird no ?
I mean, if it goes F2P at some point (if one day there is not enougth regular incomes) they could always make a little money out of a F2P FF14, why would they close it ? oO
Plus, not sure Yoshida's boss would ask his permission to make it F2P (I suppose he has a boss even as producer or at least investors he has to cop with ? )

If you need proof that the community in the forums is not largely representative of the community in-game, look no further than this thread. Most of the upvoted posts here are ones that express anti-cash shop sentiment...yet when I log into my character at Idyllshire, its a wall of these fat things as far as the eye can see.

Just an interesting observation.

I can't find or remember when/what interview he said it in, but it was a good while ago (over a year or two? Not sure). I think it was based on the usual issues that come up for f2p games (lack of content, toxic atmosphere, lower quality of game design in general), but I can't recall Yoshi's exact words. Just that he basically did say "I'd rather shut the game down than let it go f2p".

Frankly, I'm in agreement with his stance. F2p games are kinda trash - if not immediately, then a year down the road. (Saying this as someone who used to be solely a f2p player who then came to this game as my first subscription MMO >>)

Also, doubt we'd ever go f2p just because even as old as it is and how few people play it any longer, FF11 is still a sub-based game despite the fact it's been put into perma-maint mode. So -shrug-

There are a lot of poll threads and "we as a playerbase feel that..." threads in General Discussion.
