I missed this earlier but feel the need to comment because of how grossly disingenuous this comparison is. EA caught the immense flack they did due to building the entire progression system of Battlefront around lootboxes. People whine over grinding relics in Eureka? Battlefront demanded an order of magnitude longer—necessitating over four thousand hours or $2,100 to unlock everything. And unlike FFXIV, this wasn't merely cosmetics but progression itself. An equivalent would be if these aforementioned grinds or costs were tied to tomestones. Imagine Stormblood released with a i410 set you either had to grind thousands of hours to acquire or watch someone buy it from the Mogstation and stomp all the content you're still struggling with. That is a Final Fantasy game made by EA.

But yes, let's compare a $12 emote to four thousand hours of essentially grinding Atma.
