Let's Help SE Make Some Money

(Before we get started, the title is obviously tongue in cheek. Yes, I realize we give them money in several different ways).

So, I'll assume that Fantasia sales are going well? Well, what are some other things you'd like to see SE offer (in-game, or otherwise) that are FFXIV related?

1.) Book of concept art. I would *really* like to have that built in with a traditional strategy guide, but I think I've given up hopes for that. There are so many up to date, online sources available for that information, that I think SE would never invest the money in that.

2.) Crafting/Recipe book. Someone else posted awhile back that they would love to have real life recipes for in-game food. Not sure how feasible that is (although admittedly that would be awesome) but how bout a small book with crafting recipes...and yes, concept art.

3.) Character statues. Yes, much like many others, I would love to be able to purchase a customized statue of my character. I'm sure these would be expensive, but given the right options and design, I'm all in.

So, what else would you like to see?

Someone a while back proposed that SE offer 3D printer data to make character statues. I'm sure it's still somewhere in these forums.

Make an SNES styled offline version of FFXIV.

I'm very simple, I just want to be able to buy FFXIV 1.0 exclusive items (The pre-order items, etc) I'm a collector, and I think is not fair that a lot of people get to have those items because the game was released on pc and not on the ps3 (because if 1.0 would've been released on ps3, I would've gotten all those items, I just didn't had a computer to play FFXIV 1.0)

Only if you would have bought XIV twice (CE for onion hat and standard for the googles), bought FF XIII (Asuram armguard) and had a FF XI account at this time (Hermes Shoes)

How would that work, just the initial story mode?

If SE wanted more money, they wouldn't limit fantasia sales. :D

A good game.

Donate gil you say?

To bad we can't buy Gae Bolg's and other relics from Square-Enix.

I'd be for an Offline Version of 1.0 for everyone that doesnt know the Story too beginn with :P
And make it classial so round based XD

Really wish SE would consider releasing FFXI and FFXIV offline versions. The story in these FF mmo's alone are just so good.

The only thing SE needs to do to take more of my money is release those damn ff event shirts on their SE store. That leviathan shirt is epic and I would throw my money at them for that in a heartbeat.

You think FFXIV isn't a good game? Why bother playing then? OR if you've stopped playing, why bother posting?

Only limited right now because they didn't have a system set up to allow unlimited purchases. They already said they will implement it soon.

lol, FFXIV story is awful. It's just bunch of fetch quesst throw together.

Not to mention it's barely a mmorpg, modern mmorpg are single player games featuring co-op. 1-50 is a solo business except dungeons.

Because I made the grave mistake of getting a 6 month sub hoping the game would be better and still have yet to get my money's worth until it runs out, that's all.

United We Stand (FF XIV 1.0 story quest) was not possible to do solo and was not in a dungeon.

Maybe not doing an exactly remake of FF XIV 1.0, but an offline version that tell the story before the calamity new.

Are you seriously asking for a full fledge cash shop?

No with a English accent.
No with a Spanish accent.
NO.

FOR SE: I am posting to strongly express my disagreement with the original poster's opinion.

Something simple i'm hoping for, name change option. I'd pay a few bucks for this for sure. Or heck, charge in game money, my subscription will last longer while i saved a few million gil to do that :D

I think someone is wrapped a little too tight...

Some of us that play the game are collector's, just looking to see what other collector items people are hoping for. That's it.

SE doesn't need any more money from this game. They say they have over 2 million subscribers. At $15 a month, that's $30 million they're making, per month. Did you see the watch Yoshida was wearing? They're rolling around in piles of cash, while doing their best evil mastermind laugh.

If what you're after is collectible stuff, I'm sure the Square Enix merch store has some nice stuffed moogles and stuff. Maybe they could make a Fat Chocobo plushie or something. But I'm 100% against all in game cash shop items.

This is my idea for them to make money

I think that they should put the lion war fftactics in the disgaea universe, make a damn good story and mix bosses have the heroes work with the heroes of disgaea have character DLC and bam money maker.
