The virtual currency "Moogle Coins" in the FFXIV Companion app must be removed

[Divinemights]

I think what amazes me about the app is that, p2w or not (I dont believe it is personally), is that there are people who really defend it. Apparently, a lot of people don't mind getting ripped off.

It is a simple matter of players in employment vs players in education, one has more money and one has more time.
It applies to both Japanese and English community.
APP is just a medium to reduce the gap between two groups

Thats just wrong..first we have enough people in this thread that already said that they had more than enough income to buy the app and to buy coins but still find that horrible, so your first point is wrong. There were enough people in this thread that wrote why they find it wrong and nobody said that the reason was because they could not afford it.

In a sub game there should not be a system where paying money deletes the gap between players...otherwise let us be able to buy savage gear in the mog station because someone does not have the time to raid but even though they dont have the time they should be on the same page as those that do.

Hmm not sure what you mean with this.

I have pretty much tripled the income I had while I was still studying and now with all this money I actually am more against being ripped off.

I pay a sub already.

I hear you there. I have the disposable income to buy all this crap and more. The point is, why should I have to? I pay a sub for a reason, and it's not so that every other optional thing has to be purchased separately.

I'm the same. I've bought things like the Shiva and Odin statues - purely for the emotes - because of a disposable income. Yet there's a huge difference between paying money for cosmetics and paying money for things that, historically, have been free quality of life features.

I must be a alien then i am in university and i am working and i find it still bullshit.

Also an real money based advantage is a real money based advantage, what someone defines as p2w does not change a factual cirumstate, so while there is in other games "more" p2w, this has nothing to do with "fear mongering".

It is because you didn't take in to account of the culture difference.
The main reason why premium service app has over-whelming positive reception by Japanese players is because they have much longer working hours and school hours (pretty much all Asians)
Their student's high school hours end at 11:00 PM in general and their adult working hour is ending around 10:00 PM.
In direct comparison to Western, they are clearly at disadvantage and that is why they are welcoming premium service.
With this premium app, they can do everything on their mobile during their school/working hours and they are willing to pay for it.

As of today, this FF14 app (yet to come out) is the only one on the market to allow players to manage in-game inventory via mobile phone (WoW Armory do not have this function)

Oh are you majoring in Japan studies? Then if not those are some wild wild guesses and clueless assumptions, even if would be true and relevant in the current subject matter, doesnt do anything to advance the discussion rather then saying "its more accepted there". Which changes like nothing


Ignoring the fact that what you stated has LITERARY nothing to do with what i wrote, cause im preeeeeetty sure the people that i adressed, which are posting in this thread, are not japanese salary man.

Seems like you not factored in common sense.

Took Japanese language courses in the university for 4 years and done few projects in regard to Japanese social life as well.
I have the ability to read and write at Japanese forum and do reads Japanese 2ch and 4ch.
Take it as grain of salt if you have to, i seriously don't care.
The only thing for sure is I have better understanding in the matter and understand why they loved premium serivce.
Use google to search Kantai Collection and Fate app and you should realize they loved loot box instead of hate it like Western players

This is why I think Japanese games have some of the worst net code. Because they're designed for tightly packed cities and not worldwide playerbases.
