Price Reduction =)

Secondly, I'm happy that Square compromised, however it remains to be seen if there is $8 worth of content in FFXIV per month.

For the great majority of people, the game wasn't worth it when it was free.

The point being, that's entirely subjective and everyone here already has different standards than the public. For many people, there will be $8 worth of content in this game. And for many others, there won't be.

If this is a sarcastic reference to what will be the equivalent of WoW's cross-server dungeon finder, it still doesn't allow you to choose the people you play with on other servers.

It already sounds different from dungeon finder, much more all-encompassing for one because the server structure is made to handle such system from the get-go.

Now, that's not to say in the end it won't be just like dungeon finder. But the fact is that SE has a system in the pipes that will potentially allow you to play with your friends on other servers even on the same character. That's a better option than being lazy and just doing the half-assed option other MMO's do and force us to create new characters for it.
