Or at least I would certainly hope as much. As for the number of retainers overall, I couldn't find the number of retainers to players in game but I'd safely bet its at least 3 retainers to the character at this point. That said, I see no server borkings outside the vanilla 90k and 2002s here and there. As for the retainers being a shameless cash grab, lets just say I'm an active backer of Star Citizen if that tells you how much I care about that subject. Regardless, I hope the KH3 and FFVII teams don't repeat the half-finished sadness that is FFXV.

As for providing a limited service, there is a fine line between limited service and anti-consumerism. There is a reason I don't waste my money on the half finished garbage that the game industry as been fornicating over since console patches have been a thing (FFXV being the latest game I was stupid enough to get hyped over).
