From Never F2P To...

[Kayo]

Hey ... so long as its a separate server that in no way possible to interact with p2p (no transfers or anything) AND we get ALL cash shop content made obtainable through gameplay, I wouldnt mind it too much.

Hell, for all I care they could be playing a completely different game in other servers. I wish LOTRO, SWTOR and Rift wouldve done this instead! More money for company and neither p2pr's or f2p have any reason to whine about it.

Again, when did he ever say that the game will never go FTP, stop making up stuff.

He said the game will shut down before its ever f2p. Feel free to look it up yourself, all I remember is it was IGN a while back.

"The folks behind Final Fantasy XIV have pushed so strongly for a subscription model that new lead director Naoki Yoshida insisted that FFXIV would be shut down without them."

LOL, some interviewer making an exaggerated statement and taking what he says out of context just like everyone else here have been doing, the man literally never said such a thing, not in any video interviews nor can you find any quote from him saying such a thing.

Ah ok, so we should take your word over someone thats been doing this for years then, hmm? Something Yoshi has been asked about non-stop since taking charge of the game? One of the big selling points of the game was all just an fabrication by pretty much everyone in here. Gotcha!

Regardless making this game f2p now would result in the same rage if he promised to never do it or not.

Don't get me wrong, I dispise FTP and I hope it will never happen but the man never said he would basically shut down the servers if the game has to go FTP, that's a bold statement. Can't believe people are that naive to think that he would say somethign like that. And looking at the ariticle, the guy didnt even interview Yoshi, he bascially based his article off of another interview and that interview said nothing of the sort.
