Price Reduction =)

$4.99 per month with the 180 day plan. That's like 30 bucks for half a year which is a steal imo and i have no problem paying that. If you can't fork that out then get a job or gtfo.

To the ppl complaining about 3 bucks per character: If you use multiple characters then you are probably fairly hardcore anyway (although i only use one char and consider myself decently hardcore), so you will probably be around for quite some time. Just go with the 90 or 180 day plan and use those savings to pay for your extra character(s). I don't understand why people have multi characters anyway but I digress.

Stop whining.

No, it's $7.99 because you're not factoring in the character fee. Who's only going to be paying the service fee? Nobody.

Stop whining.

Stop helping to spread false information.

What's with all the "extra character" rage? True, most MMO's allow you a number of more characters free... Then again most MMO's restrict your character to one job class, one crafting class, etc.

FFXI and XIV have the advantage of giving your character access to all classes. XIV even has retainers so you don't have to have a mule for selling stuff.

Also:

"The above price plan includes a save slot for one character and the 30 day basic service fee."

I think you need to re-evaluate who is spreading false information.

you may want to re-read what you looked at

the 9.99 is what that applies to(6.99 + 3 = 9.99)


the pricing itself says this

"* One character save slot as well as a basic service fee is required to play FINAL FANTASY XIV "

Wow. This is what I'm talking about. SE's talent for making things convoluted once again confuses people. People actually think they're getting a bigger discount than they really are.

TheVedis is right. If you scroll down the page and look at the fee breakdown, you'll see the real details.



What this means, in reality, is this:

30 Days - $6.99 Service Fee + $3.00 Character Fee = $9.99
90 Days - $5.99 Service Fee + $3.00 Character Fee = $8.99
180 Days - $4.99 Service Fee + $3.00 Character Fee = $7.99

The absolute cheapest you can play this game is 8 bucks a month. But the only people who will benefit are the diehard fans, the ones who will be willing to pay 6 months worth of fees upfront. Anyone who is on the fence and only wants to pay by the month will get it at 10 bucks a month.
