Very conflicted about the cash shop...

jeah i don't know how i should feel about it.

If it's 3pets and 1mount every 6month or something like that i mean ok i don't care, but if it's every month i will probably quit it, because i want to collect everything (one of my 3 fun parts in games) and so i spend a lot of money on those stores...
Well we'll see how this turns out....

As for this reply, I say good on your for realizing that this could be a weakness for you and your fun. SE is a business but they do not control you. Anyone can walk away if this gets out of hand. I am going to err on the side that this wont get out of hand.

What high horse? Am I not allowed to politely express my concern for something that I've become deeply invested in and passionate about?

If you are deeply invested and passionate about the game (which is what im assuming you speak of) then why dont you want SE to be able to have a side income that isnt as consistent as the subs. I mean look at pokemon, its huge, but Gamefreak only gets money for initial sales. thats it. So they usually have to release a new version every year.

I like SE. I like a FF MMO. so I might buy a few things this year. Will it happen every month? Heck no as i also pay a sub. but every 10 months or every year on my birthday? yeah probably.

Does that mean you are fine with buying CDs and toys for $50+ to collect all the minions but are not ok with paying 1/10th that for just the minion to collect it?

This vanity store doesn't effect anyone in a negative manner. If you are a die hard collector then you will happily sacrifice eating out for dinner 1 night or a cup of coffee for a single minion.

Personally I wont be buying any of these because they are not my taste. But If i could get the delivery moogle minion for $5 I would woop for joy.

No i'm not and i didn't buy a thing of this things till know (was lucky and someone gifted me the dalamud) and i am a bit frustrated already about this. So the shop is one more step in this direction.

CDs and toys are something tangible. A virtual item is not.
