Buying character slots?

[Felis]

Wait, so it was an actual feature in the past? O_O
In that case, perhaps the possibility of it being implemented again isn't 0! Thank you for the information; I never played the original FFXIV, so I didn't know.

yes, but not many bought more than 2 slots (because 3$/month each slot). Majority played with just 1 slot.
8 slots would cost you 24$/month just for the slots.
