But what are the ranking up rewards we can get each battle pass? They could add 30 ranking tiers that you can get by playing the game and doing daily quests, gatelocked with only 1 tier being unlocked each day.
Reward examples at rank 30 for first pass:
Free Pass - Red chocobo minion
Premium Pass - Green Magitek mount
Champion's Pass - Wind-up Xande minion and ability to use minions in dungeons and with fashion accessories for the rest of the battle pass
Ultimate Pass - Deathgaze Hollow mount and ability to use mounts in cities and sub-cities for the rest of the battle pass -

It's ok not like they could implement it even if they wanted to, they struggle enough with the most basic of basic things.

How about a last and final tier?
Warrior of Light - 299$ every patch- No need to complete fights and instances, you have unlimited tokens for everything in an exclusive new bag
- Gil, Tomes and Scripts will be kept at cap for the duration of the patch
- You can buy any house you want, even if it's already owned
- Early Access to gear, which will come in x.2 and x.4 patches
- Sprint is now a toggle, hit it once, and you can run forever if you choose to

02-22-2025, 04:25 AMCalafieromomiasI have no idea how you found out I used to work at EA, but yeah, that was a long time ago, i was actually one of the first involved in developing the microtransaction and ad systems back when that whole model was still taking shape, it was definitely a learning experience, but that was years ago, and my ideas have changed, these days I just want to see FFXIV thrive.Quote:

These are awful LOL...
I hope they are trolls, but for anyone seriously thinking that us being milked for more money is going to equivocate to more content or better designed content in this game... I really don't know what to say.
It'll just get funneled into other half-baked projects, that are too busy treating gameplay elements like an assembly line, rather than coming up with something substantive and meaningful.
Enjoy your new game for £84.99 for a premium package which will include 1 DLC and barely 20 hours of content. -

02-25-2025, 07:00 AMCalafieromomiasAds would help for more revenue for the game , so more money = more content faster updates and more Raids and content. simple as thatQuote:

I vote more money to SE. I think we should support them and show them our love as fans with money. That is what Yoshi P has been trying to say, but he is too shy with all his merch sales, which I think we all should also buy.
You might not camp, or be a dj, or play guitar or wear jewellery, or buy dolls, but I think you should start setting aside money from your paycheck to save for these things to support SE, the CEO and our beloved dev team, especially Yoshi P -

I miss Rift, the trolls on their forums were entertaining at least.
Can we add this as a battle pass feature? Better forum trolls? -
