Not the time to charge, cya in 2013...

what do you prefer to give you 1 year content for version 1 and pay for the expasion version 2 do you think its better that ?

they giving you the chance if you dont like to play the prequel to leave and play something else and come back again at version 2 and DOWNLOAD FREE your GAME!!!

stop asking about your game that you have bought ....THEY GONNA GIVE YOU AT 2012-2013 FREE !!!

they just want to make the version 1 Prequel Becouse they are making a NEW final fantasy for all the fans that bought the game 1 year ago AND THEY GOING TO GIVE US THE VERSION 2 FREE !!!! !!! OH MY GOD !! stop crying !!!

It sounds like you're the one crying with all your poorly placed spaces, caps-lock, and exclamation points. I'm just expressing my concerns over the fact that they treated this as a beta, and then they will be holding another beta in the future.

Secondly, would it kill you to use a period? If you're going to constructively hold a conversation with someone at least present me with something that a middle school student could articulate.

Lastly, you're correct. They are making the version 2.0 XIV from the ideas and discussions that thousands of disgruntled users posted on the forums. What you're incorrect about, is that it is a new game. Please don't treat it like a new IP, or a new game. It isn't even an expansion. It is the game, that should have been in my 90 dollar collectors edition box, from the very beginning.

That is why charging now is not the right action to take. It further alienates the people who already dislike the game (that this entire 2.0 fix is trying to get back), and it continues the growing loss of interest and trust of the Final Fantasy brand.

As I've stated before, if they offered a 50% reduction in subscription costs until the end of the 2.0 beta, or start the subscription fees after the server fixes/UI were implemented; sure I'd be happy to help show my support for the game. Unfortunately they are just being greedy at this point.

And yes, I'd probably be more satisfied if they kept the game open for free, and then made 2.0 as an expansion pack. First of all, the expansion pack would only be 40 dollars: a reasonable sum. Secondly, they can't get away with that because it would cause more outrage than this debacle has already done. So they're opting for the choice that will get them more money and less hate, because really: who is going to buy an expansion pack that fixes a severely broken and flawed game?
