$25 for a toon transfer?

[Satachi]

Seriously SE?

I mean yes, Blizzard and a few other companies do it, but even to them I question why? You get money from subscriptions, crystals, and probably soon cash shops. Why do you insist of making the community pay 25 dollars for a transfer?

I feel to any company who charges more than 10 dollars for a transfer is a ripoff. But then again, everyone is trying to make a quick buck. I just hope you use the money for more content later on this year.

Yep, Square is totally forcing you to spend $25 to transfer, because it's a necessary thing to do for everyone.

Here's a nice baseline: a transfer should cost less than a new FFXIV ARR game.

That wasn't the issue. The 'necessary thing to do for everyone' argument is a slippery slope that can be used to justify just about anything. The issue is that players already fork over a substantial sub each month, and creating an automated transfer system isn't exactly rocket science. There's a lot more at work here than simply funding the service and getting a reasonable profit. It pretty much boils down to gouging players in the name of server stability, so for SE it's an easymode fix while players get the short end of the stick.

A toon... lol

Ikr, my head just about exploded. I this term dies sooner than later, lol.

This is for you and the ones that liked your post: "Welcome to the Final Fantasy Community where you need to read to not miss that ship just sailed."

(I'm sorry if I didn't note the /sarcasm if any, good one though) ^^

25 dollars, bah, internationally that's chump-change comparing it to the Yen. You can also just create a new "character", "Avatar" aka "Toon".
(I can tell who the WoW-players are,loool)

For those asking why certain people didn't transfer during the free period its pretty simple for me atleast. WE COULD'NT! I was stuck on Excalibur and kept from my friends in Diablos, I would never ask them to move to a legacy server that is overflowed with people because not even I want to stay on these servers. So really its fucked up that us people that were forced to stay on legacy servers are now being forced to PAY to move off these crowded places when other people were allowed to move around for FREE .___.

Thats why its an optional service.

Not like they're forcing you to use it, or it gives someone an in-game advantage.

Just waiting for Fantasia pots to become buyable myself.

It makes money yes.

It's also to put some barrier against people transfering constantly. Arbitrage and other sorts of abuse and whatnot.

I will admit, 25 bucks is a bit high. If I needed to transfer I wouldn't pay that much.
