I'm sure if/when this is a huge success, every future event or feature will have a "peasant" version, while the real full version gets locked behind a paywall.
"Slowly" you say, but it's honestly proceeding much faster than I feared. That they'd put long-promised features like the Eternal Bond Chocobo behind a paywall hit me by surprise, I must admit.

Unfortunately, they don't even need the majority. I've seen people spending 2000$ on "Free to Play" games in their first month after launch. A spending-happy, small minority would keep the game afloat just fine, it wouldn't matter if more than half of the current players quit as long as there are those who're happy to spend more and more for "optional" content.
