Cash shop pricing is getting a bit much...

Blade and Soul was a F2P game with no game purchase necessary.

Which is why B&S was very frustrating if, like me, playing with characters' outfits and charisma is what you like the most. Most outfits there are from the cash shop, as the game barely got any worthy update in that sense (at least back when I played).

FFXIV, on the other hand, has TONS of outfits released ingame, either from new patches or from events. The Mogstation exclusive outfits are very, very few (most coming from Korea and China), and not even the best the game has to offer. I for one enjoy playing with characters' fashion the most, yet I've rarely had the need to use the Mogstation. So yes, I believe FFXIV is quite different from a F2P game; I likely wouldn't be here myself otherwise.
