Is our sub fee not enought

[MiraKershaw]

It's honestly no different than DLC you buy for other games. Only it's strictly vanity.

Right because you pay a sub to most other games that have dlc

Non-story, non-gameplay affecting vanity items.

Actually, all MMOs that have a sub sell "DLC" (read: cosmetic items) in a cash shop.

Also, on a technicality, you do if you own PS4 and XboxOne and want to play games that have online connection. You need to buy the game, pay for the console's premium services/ access (Playstation Plus, don't know Xbox's), buy any content that a game releases, etc. I mean the whole reason FFXIV isn't on Xbox is because you'd essentially be paying a double sub since Microsoft insists it's needed and apparently won't relent. At least Sony took that requirement off for FFXIV.

People overlook this so much.

That's fair. However the pricing on the premium console service is cheaper and covers all games you may want to play instead of only XIV in addition to other perks. The problem also doesn't exist on most of the same games on PC.
