Do I really need to spend $28 just for one Phial of Fantasia?

I believe this option will be changed in the future when SE can figure out how to make Fantasias 'per character' instead of 'per account'

At least that's how I remember hearing it

That's a terrible idea. I'd rather they have it as it is currently and just remove the lockout on purchasing which quantities of fantasia you want.

We'll be getting both options I believe.

My friend told me about that (how you could only purchase each option once) and I couldn't believe him, because that makes no sense to me from a technical standpoint and almost no sense from a business one. I'm glad I'll never be in the market.

I'm completely failing to get my head around this restriction.... why does it even need a restriction? Is it not like, free money for SE? I have no intentions of buying any myself, I'm pretty happy with my character, but it just seems... weird to restrict it in this way?
I suppose they'll have their reasons... I just can't fathom out what they'd be :P

If it's a one time purchase you're probably better off just forking out for 5 then you've got 5 to last you for however long you need it. I mean surely, you don't need more than 5.

Because maybe he was busy and not trolling the forums?

Then how come he didn't change his statement until AFTER I linked the article? And that deleted post was him defending his claim that it has been months by the way.

To be quite honest you people complaining about limitations for something like this need to appreciate that it even is an option. There was a time when jokes or not what you made you were stuck with.

I swear the generation of gamers born from 1990 and on are the most self centered and short attention spanned people I have ever come across.

Honestly, if you're the type of person that likes to change your appearance often, then buying all three of the current Fantasia options is a pretty good investment. The fact that it's account wide means that every character you make from now on will start out with 9 Fantasias.

When they change it to a per character transaction and you make that same new character, you'd have to pay almost $100 to get the same thing.

It may not seem like that big of a deal now, but think about the future when new races are added etc.

I purchased one a few weeks ago to try out a race, but I want to switch back. I can't purchase just 1 potion and I have to purchase either 3 or 5 if I want to switch back. Has SE mentioned anything about getting rid of this silly limit? It makes no sense....

But it make sense
The Phials works like bonus items. Every character on your account get them now without extra cash.
But the problem with bonus items is, that identical bonus items can get register only once. Because of this there are 3 different types to buy.
SE is still working on it that you can buy a item for a specific character and not as bonus item for your account.

SE doesn't need the extra money, they have 2 million registered accounts surely that's more than enough, right? Waiting until they add unlimited single purchases is the best option, getting the limited packs is just an unnecessary waste of money regardless of how many Mcdonalds meals you can buy with them.
