Cash shop up!

[Dhex]

I said you will get all the content - cause it's ...you know... FINISHED. It has ZERO to do with ownership.

Seriously?

(It has to do with concerns that cash shop development will take away from development of content and the rest of the game... this way the expansion would be complete, so people would get the full experience up front, without feeling trade offs are happening behind the scenes on unfinished content)

And I'm saying - it doesn't matter how you want the game released or updated (or not) you have no personal rights to anything Square Enix does with FFXIV - none. You have a license to access it. If you buy the expansion - it's an expanded license. They could release the full expansion - then retro-actively remove everything and put it into a cash shop - because the Terms of Service allows for that.
