Ul'dah is not Jeuno - Link the Wards

Ya...with the confirmation of FFXIV being receiving microtransation system (cash shop) its possible to be iike this...i've seen MMOs where you buy items that give you the right to do 1 universal shout (appears in every area of the game) and seems like what they want...as Yoichi Wada own words: “We soon learnt that there are a lot of people who want that kind of model, so we would like to introduce more pay-as-you-use items into the game." So its possible to be like you buying an item with a few charges...once charges are gone its useless and you will need to buy a new one.

Does this mean SE are considering keeping FFXIV free to play and just make money through a cash shop?

/sigh

...I just can't justify paying a subscription to the game. Maybe after RADICAL changes, but even then, I can imagine a lot of the community leaving when they reintroduce subs.

You can bet on it. I myself am one of those that are very unlikely to stay once subscription fee start being charged...because i don't like the current game at all. I'm playing still with the last breath of my faith because i'm a FF fan...but it long ime ago stopped pleasing me...right now the correct word for how i feel would be more like "enduring" the game...and i'm sure many might be feeling the same way.
