The monthly subscription games are different in that they are given dynamic updates as you play them that you don't have to pay extra for. They're also typically much larger and have much less time between updates than the single pay game has for expansions. And, typically, these cost about the equivalent of £9 a month.
Don't get me wrong id pay £20 a month haha coz I love the game and buy anything "final fantasy" related

Was just thinking over a year the total cost, I know other mmos are same price but am sure ff11 charged for expantion pack too

I take it the price is to cover the severs costs? And constite bug fixing and adjusting stats and game macanics to keep it balanced
