Only reason I'm not against the shop completely is that it's all cosmetics

    Most items in the cash shop give me the Salvager NPC ingame for some gil.
    Don't miss the events and you don't need the cash shop (except fo wedding and Fantasia)

    To OP: SE should bring first a FF VII HD remake for PS3/4 before putting those items into the cash shop.

    Considering that SE have made items previously available in-game now only available through their cash shop, I'm more than a little disturbed that so many embrace the changes. Luckily, I picked up the Valentione's gear before it was made a cash-shop exclusive, but many have not. Do we really want to encourage SE to do this in future with other seasonal or event items?

    That would be perfect for an ingame event related to obtaining FFVII vanity.

    ... There needs to be a wide profit margin or else a venture is considered a failure and the stock loses value), especially with the staggeringly high and growing development costs, SE was basically presented with a choice: Raise our subscriptions, or add a cash shop.
    If that is indeed the choice they faced (which I have some doubts about, as from what I've heard the game seems to have been doing pretty well since its re-launch), then they should have raised the subscription fees. I don't mind being asked to pay a fair price for what I get. I do, however, object to being asked to pay twice for the same thing. Once we've already paid for the entire game and all updates to it, then we should get the entire game and all updates to it, not be asked to pay separately for individual pieces of what we've already purchased.

    If SE wanted to add a cash shop, then they should have added a pure F2P option at the same time. They'd lose a few players who are here specifically because they want a P2P game rather than a cash-shop based one, but they'd gain others who won't do P2P. I'd personally find the switch to F2P with a cash shop to be a really annoying one that would greatly damage the enjoyment of the game, but at least it wouldn't involve the sort of bait-and-switch dishonesty of asking us to pay again for stuff we've already paid for.

    Don't forget those games are free to play.
    EQ2 had plenty of vanity items, even some where player made, in their cash shop long before they went free to play. Not saying OP's idea is good or bad, just pointing out that adding a cash shop does not mean the game has to be free to play. If anything, a cash shop adds more income to the game to make more content.

    I don't see anything wrong with the way SE is handling the cash shop now (Selling previous seasonal items and the occasional exclusive item).

    I'd be cool with them adding in glamour and vanity from other games (KINGDOM HEARTS PLZ) as a mix of in-game with some cash-shop exclusive items.

    Retainer ventures like untradable dyes or Gold Saucer for 1mil MGP because fun should be RNG/Grind-based. Please look forward to it

    A20: While the feature can be implemented, it’s currently masked. It’s currently masked because we would like to prevent players from harassing each other just because they know they would never party together in the future. We will continue to monitor the situation carefully as we move forward.
