As a Legacy player, I get the privilege of paying only $9.99 a month for the entirety of FFXIV's lifespan, forever, even after the launch of Version 2.0, and I can also create up to 40 total characters at no extra cost? Fucking sweet! :cool:

Also gloat rights.
I cant wait until 2.0 release when we get tons of threads with the opposite statement from the players who are being punished for not paying for the game in its current state. XD Its going to be fun!!
I can finaly flaunt my gobbue that SE gave e to the new players!
No, the Goobue is a permanent mount being given as a gift to current players. It'll stay in the game even after the launch of 2.0.

Goobbue mount wont be here in 2.0, i will find a SE source if I must.Quote:
Final Fantasy XIV players will want to work to get their Goobbue mount as it will only be available in game until the cataclysmic events that will usher in v2.0 later in 2012
Please do. I'm hoping this site just phrased it in a weird way, but I could be wrong. I was always under the impression that you could only GET it pre-2.0, but you would have it forever. It would be a shame if that wonderful music went to waste post-2.0. I'm not particularly attached to my goobbue (it is way too big!) but the music is amazing.
wait...we don't have to pay for character slots either? I assumed that they would still be $3 a pop.
" Basic Fee and Character Fee will be consolidated" Meaning Both will be fused together into one Then they give a price for the consolidated Plans. There's a 2 dollar difference between the 1 Character per server and the 8 Characters per server... as far as I'm concerned if you have to pay a "hidden fee" for Characters when they said it will be Consolidated, when they gave us the pricing for the consolidation tier.. then that would make Yoshi-P bad...
The Above tells me that and it reads like this:Quote:
Under the new fee structure, the basic service fee and the character fee will be consolidated. In the case of a 30-day billing cycle, players will be able to choose from the two payment options below,
Entry Plan – $12.99 USD/£7.69/10.99 €: One character per World
Standard Plan – $14.99 USD/£8.99/12.99 €: Eight characters per World
In the case of a 30-day billing cycle, You pay for the Consolidated price of 9.99 (Legacy), 12.99, or 14.99 for both Basic fee and Character fee put together.
Please note that what I said is copy and Pasted from another thread.. just tried of typing all of that so I just C/P it everytime I see it come up in a different thread :P.

Dev in here states that Yoshi said:
"The mount is only available for a limited time"
Again not solid because Available could either me "available to use" as well as "Available to obtain".
The search system is making it very hard to track down dev posts.
Lol, from the first live letter where they said they would start charging they showed mounts that would be obtainable goodue, eye and wyrm. They said they would be difficult to obtain but for the first one they wanted it to be available to everyone aka easy to get. Now we have a second mount coming the limited edition Chocobo which will only be available for those who obtain legacy status. The next mount may be even tougher to obtain but it's just silly to challenge the fact that the goobue will only be useable til 2.0 is released. If that was the case SE would've never spent the time to make it. The Goobue is a sign to show those who have paid/played before 2.0 is released and to remove it would just be illogical.
Because paying $30 for a mount is so hard lol, i think SE messed up their logic there. And no, if you believe it can be removed, then it is not illogical, the idea of the mount was that they did it for something fun you could have now, in this system, but it wouldnt be here in the next system, its just something fun for now. With the way they worded it, seemed like something that will only stay now. This is how I see it, if it is here in 2.0, then fair dos, no big deal, because hardly anyone uses it anyway and everyone will be on the new chocobo regardless so if that is as good as it gets for being "gone", then its still "gone" in my eyes when no one is using it XD
While you cant flaunt your Goobbue at the new players, you would likely flaunt your legacy chocobo.
considering how much its hardly used, its already been a waste of development imo.
Meh, I like the goobue. It's nice to have something else to ride besides a chocobo for once.
why do you even need 40 chars. That is just not good.......
I also stand corrected, you were right star.
Meh, I probably won't need that many, though I don't see what's "not good" about the option being there.
I wish i had my onion helm. ._.
I got the passcode for it still from my purchase but forgot to put it in before making my character.
