Compromise: Just Charge $5 For Now. Once 2.0 is Out, Then Charge $12

Oh not to mention, a re-release of the game too.

Good luck with that, He has no proof. Thats right, im calling him on it. BS.

Except they are charging for a finished product.

As of 1.20, the game will be at launch standard for most people. That's why they aren't charging in 1.19 or 1.19a. They are charging after implementing vital systems in 1.20.

LOL I gave you a road map. Why does it not surprise me that someone who is advocating SE continue to give out free service needs his hand held to find information?

Exactly, 1.20 will be the patch the will get them pretty dang close to 100% ( launch worthy). People are just sad because there free FFXIV is going away.. this was NEVER a F2P game.. it only seemed that way for a time. but no longer it shall be.

Stop acting like you know something unless you can prove it. Your as just as much talk as the post you made.

I don't think you realise that this guy is NEVER wrong. He is infact correct 110% of the time.

Start billing now please. I'll pay the year up front. I suspect many others would as well.

i sadly would, only so i dont gotta think about the auto renew and making sure i got the money in the account they will take it out of lol

If you all come back after a year, assuming you ever LEAVE, you'll be happy to know I'll still be here playing happily, while you've spent the past year playing sub-par games and wasting your time. The 3 ps3/360 game syou buy in the next year, play for a few hours and get bored of because they suck, would have paid your xiv subscription.

I'd pay 5-7$ monthly, hands down. I can justify paying half price for a game that is half finished. I understand that they can't feasibly extend the free to play period so I think that this is a really nice middle ground. It also shows that while SE is moving forward they are also thinking of their customers who have stuck with them through the year.

Plus, it will also attract more players. I can go to my friend and say "Try this game, it's only 5$ a month" and my friend would be far more inclined to pay 5$ than 14$.

So yeah, I really wish that they they would charge discount.

I'm all for paying the sub and I'll be playing all the way through, but this post is just ignorant and rude.

You're doing the exact same thing to other games as people are doing to XIV.

Knock it off.
