I've been playing Squeenix games since FFXI was a couple years old land imo they have gotten much worse over the years as to money grubbing. That said, I highly doubt Yoshida has any input into their financial moves. To be honest, I was shocked that they put a cash shop in a pay to play game, but that does seem to be the trend now. I also think that pulling this trick one month after releasing Stormblood is a pretty horrible move.
