Why no Twitch stream for FanFest?

[FJerome]

I am not sure if Twitch allows paid streams and SE wants to charge us.

There was a premium stream for the last set of Fanfests AND a free Twitch stream.

This was the previous one http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...e4ca0441f1e536

So they increased the price by 50% and there's no mention of a free stream.

Between this and the increase in cost of mog station items I'm not liking the direction SE is taking.

Mm. I have a disposable income so it's less about the money for me and more about the principle of the matter. We know that they've taken money from FFXIV and used it to fund FFXV - which I believe will be an excellent game - but when I look at how the developers of Witcher 3 handled DLC and additional items I can't help but wish that FFXIV took a similar route. We're already paying a monthly subscription after all - and shelling out cash for each new expansion that arrives. I'm happy to spend money from time to time on additional optional items but there's just so many of them these days.
