WTB: Jump potion

/tell price ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

$800.

The rough cost of base game, two expansions, and four years subscription.
That's how much it should be anyway.

how much gil do you want for it though?

All yours for only 7 payments of 999,999,999 gil!

1gil
and a Opo-Opo Minion

Mhm...let's see...

Base assumption: The skipped content is valuable.

You pay money to get access to the content of the game
The jump potion makes you skip a part of the games content
Thus, the jump potion makes you skip a part of what you paid for
From this follows that you should get money back for taking the potion

The cost(s) are already known - 2500¥ per potion. If you want to skip the Main Story & Auto boost to lvl50 then you need two different potions, that's 5000¥, roughly $50 US.

There, your trolling is satisfied.

I live in Australia, for this the price might go $70+, I want to know if anyone will sell it to me for gil and how much gil?

Would be interesting to see what people will charge in PF for that, and watch they get shut down by GMs.

Don't need a potion, just hit the spacebar.

They'll do it on Reddit, as usual

Honestly, I think that the jump potion should cost about £50 billion for every single level or every single quest you pay to skip. So 10 levels = £500 billion. Simply put, if you pay to skip, then you've lined up Square Enix's pockets for months!

Ok, now tell us how you really feel.

I'm willing to wager these potions will be untradable/market prohibited.

How I really feel, that they shouldn't exist. Given how intricate the story is in FFXIV and how it is the mainstay of progression in this game (unlike WoW where the story is just... there, but it doesn't envelop your character's progression), a story jump potion wouldn't work, and by its nature nor would a level skip. That's my thoughts anyway.

There's no situation were it won't work if you take a look at every side of the coin. Now if you're basing pure on lore than I do agree the potion would not make any sense, but going by that logic, fantasia as an example makes even less sense. With that said tho, and I don't want to argue with you about your feelings, some people do not care about the story of the game.

Most of the times people join games that are "hot" or "new" on the market knowing that it has a decent and active player base compared to much older games or f2p titles. Others just joined because their friends asked them too and all they want to do is, being part of the endgame (don't need story/lore for that one). Anyways it's fine to have an opinion and nothing wrong with that, but that goes for both sides.

Unless they make it bound to the account like auto sent to character when bought people will just sell the code person would enter into mog station.

Unless your someone like me who has been skipping the story since Shiva was introduced cus I could care less about the story. I play cus its fun, not because I want to see how Alphinaud and Minfillia are doing and hoping they strive to do whatever they do.

Responses like this remind me of the old guy on his porch yelling at kids who are listening to music outside that they are ruining his day and how "darn kids have no respect these days"

You really want to prevent new players from getting to play the game and then the game will continue to bleed players without replacing them? If the answer is yes then keep up this attitude that makes you sound like a crotchety old man intolerant of seeing things differently

That's actually further than I'd suspect. I'd wager there's quite a large number of people skipping everything since they started.

I don't think PaladinLeeds was talking about potion lore, I think they were talking about new players skipping 90% of the story in this story heavy game and then going into the final 10% having no clue what an ascian or a garlean is. What happens when the devs have to dumb the story down to cater for people who don't know the story? (Don't say they won't, because they have already broken many promises to cater to the lowest common denominator, jump potion included)

What promises?

Is this thread really needed? It adds nothing to any discussion going on right now.

When I was a new player, I began to skip somewhere between Titan and Garuda. For me, it wasn't that the story was bad, it was just that there was way to much dialogue. Like there's other things I wanna be doing, and it took 2-4mins each and every single time a cutscene came up to get through it only to be greeted with another cutscene soon after. If the game had voice acting for these cutscenes, it wouldn't have been so bad, but eventually I felt like I was reading a book more than I was playing a game and that bored me. I skipped all the Cutscenes up to Heaven's Ward which was when I began to read/watch them again because of increase vocal scenes. Admittedly, the skipping was mostly out of laziness on my part. I just didn't wanna be bothered to read, and trust me, there's a lot to read. I often get be little'd by other people when I tell them about this. "It doesn't take that much effort to read. A 5th grader could do this" blah blah blah. The game may be a Final Fantasy which revolves around story, but I came to this game for the combat, and the socialness. If I want to know the story, I can read a summary about it on a wiki online. Especially, when considering people encourage you to skip CS and watch them in your Inn room later anyway. I always felt the story was more of a bonus for playing, rather than the soul reason to play.

I need a few. Hope its between $25-$50.

buying jump potion so my potato ass can jump higher PST

From what I can see there are people having a discussion here. So is your comment really needed?
