F2P does not make a game bad...

Horrible unfair cash shops make the game unfair. As long as the cash shop items don't give armor/weapons/exp/unfair advantages, then its OK to have those cash shops. You can charge a monthly fee to access certain areas, but should never exceed a normal sub of maybe $10/mo. But you shouldn't have multiple of these types of fees.. Either Premium member or not.

I am all for a cash shop that gives extra storage space, costumes, maybe decorating items, anything that doesn't unbalance the game that would be P2P. If this goes F2P with unfair Cash Shop, then expect this game to get washed up and become just like every other Age 8-12 game, full of young kids who freeload and fewer mature players. This will also devalue the Brand Final Fantasy, and eventually hurt every other title you release.

I'm glad you are not being biased like some of the other posters and seeing my point.
