Retainers, confirmed, you have to pay for them.

I'll keep this blunt
1- Hate it
2. Yes, it will continue
3. Problem is, where does it stop.. few $ here for this... later on few $ here for that, if i wanted an aspiring cash shop i'd go play f2p
4. No it's not, too many fan boys will defend this with their lives
5. Would've been better in game for gil/unlocked via quest, anything that doesn't result in adding extra ON TOP of the sub fee.

Just my opinion, don't be ignorant

Until we, the 1%, can look at your direction and cause you to burst into flames with our money powers!

Congratulations, that was quite subtly insulting to anyone who disagrees with your opinion. Someone might actually miss that.

I didnt know i can get second retainer until i got all my WAR/MAGIC to 50.

I rather have this method than paying a extra character slot like final fantasy 11
