Sell Fantasia on the Mogstation

[Shioban]

Discourage people via a high gil/seal price, like they do for restatting. There is no valid reason to charge RL money in a sub game. I am willing to say ok for changing servers though for various reasons that should be obvious.

I don't mind either way really.

But there is a valid reason, Square Enix are a business trying to make money. This would make them money.

I'm looking forward to it. I'd gladly plop down 20 bucks to be able to freely change my character whenever. It would make me want to play this game even longer knowing I can mix it up every now and then. Right now after seeing a bunch of cute Lalafells in game I want to be a Lalafell for a spell. I think any game that lets you create a character should give you an option to redo your character.

Not sure what a cash shop is as this is my first MMO but paying for an item to change a character's appearance doesn't seem like something to get mad about.

Some people are concerned that Square Enix might open the 'cash shop' door. Some other games would offer; Money, EXP Boosts, Gear, Weapons. Essentially things to progress in the game faster.

However, all we're asking for is the option to pay for a character appearance option, some people are missing this point and getting mad believing that we're asking Square Enix to go into full 'Cash Shop' mode.

It's a standard MMO service to offer character appearance changes, and i'm the same as you. I get fickle and feel like changing.

I don't see the problem with paying for a service that offers more versatility and has no effect on the game itself whatsoever.

Really some people need to calm down. Just cause you cant afford to change your character every week doesn't mean you have to be jelly.

[Moite]

Appearance change isn't a cash shop for epics you clueless morons, settle down. Wow. I'd happily pay to recreate my character.

+1 for this

and while at it, we might as well ask for more service other than fantasia

Other than server transfers, I'm not really sure what would be appropriate.

I'm thinking 30 day cooldown would be more reasonable but hell why not.

I'd put a cooldown on name change services WAY before I'd ever put a cooldown on the use of Fantasia (just to throw it out there, 90-day cooldown on name-change services). If a guy is paying $25 per bottle of Fantasia and wants to get himself enough to change his appearance every day for two weeks, let him. Changing your appearance doesn't cause harm, whereas being able to change your name has the propensity to invite scammers and FC-bank thieves.

Other than server transfers, I'm not really sure what would be appropriate.

The only other service I could think of would be;

MogTranformation. Instantly turn your one-of-the-five races into the Moogle master race of Eorzea!
Guaranteed : More attractive than Miqo'tes.
Guaranteed : Cuddlier than a Roegadyn
Guaranteed : 5x more cute and mischievous than your average Lalafell.

Don't delay! Pay today!

I know that and that is why they charge a sub

Slippery slope is slippery, micro transaction do not belong in a sub game , they belong in f2p micro-transaction game. They want to make money isn't a valid reason as the whole basis of sub games is that there will be no cash shop or such other you have to use RL money to "XYZ".

They charge RL money for anything other than server transfers, if they charge for pets, cosmetics (both appearance or fashion items) name changes, mounts etc etc and my wife and I will drop this like a dirty diaper.

We want to pay sub so we can avoid cash shops whether they be in game or not. Do this and we would no longer be willing to pay for a sub.

Either be a sub based game or not and be f2p, be one or the other not some hybrid con.
