Trial player with some questions regarding purchase, sub options, etc.

[Glottis]

I'm an avid fan of the material CE goodies, such as statues and art books and such, so for me the decision was easy one. In any case, welcome to Eorzea, whichever route you choose

haha, yes that would make things simpler, unfortunately I prefer digital, less stuff to dust that way! Thanks for the welcome

Buying Stormblood will give you Heavensward for free.

ohh, I had no idea about this, thanks for mentioning it! I guess I'll hold of buying Heavensward then, it's not like there's a sale going on atm the moment anyway.

So just buy enough Crysta for one month (or six months or whatever you want), and then set your FFXIV account to be payed out of that Crysta balance.

If Crysta costs as much as the monthly sub, I think I'll probably go that route as well. Better than cancelling my sub everytime (and ending up clicking on "cancel service account" on accident lol)
