Sorry with BF3 coming out and I currently play (and pay) EvE Online there is no way I will even think about paying for a unfinished game. I hardly get on as it is not why would I want to pay $15 to watch it sit on my HDD? added to the fact I totally despise Click and Buy. I guess I'll just check back in a year and MABEY if SE isn't bluffing and FF14 is still afloat (Fabul is almost always a dead server) I decide on weather or not to pay for this game

reduced fee will be good. personally I recommend people to look when February comes, I think that the timeframe when all basic things are done

Adding to this, even for those who don't agree with the p2p, February will have a lot of the basic features. I mean, we can always come back when we feel it's worth paying for.

Well, seeing as how the current content and story lines won't be playable anymore once v2.0 launches, I'll be paying just to play the current content being added.

I want to play the story that effects the course of the world in v2.0. I love the lore so it's worth it for me.

I won't consider paying until after 2.0. So far, it seems like yoshi-p's team is just doing sidegrades. The game is still fairly wretched, it simply sucks in different ways now.

like 2 dungeons were added, but leves were destroyed. materia system is cool, but all my gear is being deleted. Thanks! You hose my jade hora +2 i bought the day before the item announcements and then tell me I get to pay you more REAL money for the pleasure.

Definite yes. What they have already delivered and that which is promised is impressive enough to make me giddy with excitement.

Yeah, it'd be nice if it were a reduced fee since we'll be paying to play an incomplete game (what is basically a beta!).

the p2p isn't the issue. it's going p2p before being release ready that is. if the game was up to the standards i expect out of a game upon release i would be glad to pay full price for it now. i just don't see how anyone paying full price for half a game is setting a good example for the future of the game or the company.

to me it would have been better accepted from day 1 charging than it is now. day 1 they stated the game is in bad shape and due to the bad responses they were going to make it f2p until it was up to their standards. just within the last month or so wada states this game was so bad that it is undergoing a complete overhaul and has actually hurt the franchise and yoshi stated the game was only 50% complete. does that seem like a good representation of what up to their standards is?

If they don't start bringing in money for this game it won't be around next year to be up to your standards. If you are so unhappy about it, go away, the rest of us will pay and support the game so that you can enjoy it next year.

I'll stick around and see. Didn't vote yes or no. It will boil down to the payment options. 15$ a month I can deal with as I do get quite a bit of entertainment out of the game however if I'm still stuck with either Click & Buy or Crysta.. I may have to bow out until they offer more standardized payment options like every other game out there.

Wait and see approach for me.. as for V2.0.. very excited.

I'm quite surprised 2/3rds will pay but its defiantly good to see yes favoring.

I still think its a bad idea, if the game was about 4 times more popular maybe, but with the amount of peeps playing losing 33% is a lot.
