Yep.

Take everything a developer says with a pinch of salt. Especially statements made many years ago. Times change. Businesses occasionally shift their stances. It's how the world works. A lot of posters set themselves up for disappointment by expecting things to play out differently.

Just look at the number of businesses who offer up a particular perk to reward loyal customers and then later remove that perk to increase their profit margin by spending less on their consumers. If people feel like a business practice is shady, they need to vote with their wallets. Otherwise it's just hot air. I'd love to know if any of those up in arms over this are actually going to quit the game. Especially those who have a different issue with the game every week.

While its wise to vote with your wallet by the mere fact that saying that we should expect it because many other developers do it for the sake of lining their pockets just screams that we should not hold them to any kind of standard. You do realize with every inch you give them they'll gladly try and reach the point EA did with Star Wars Battlefront? Just because X did something doesn't mean Y is justified in doing it as well, the community must make sure the Dev's actions are kept to a high and professional standard.

There is nothing stating that the story was the only restriction for their reintroduction. It clearly states that they'll become unobtainable in ARR, which is not an expansion but a total reboot of the original FFXIV which went by the name FFXIV:Online. We are currently in FFXIV:A Realm Reborn (ARR) with the expansions being Heavensward and Stormblood. Also anyone who is level 30 and has the base game can get them meaning they are obtainable in ARR proper if you want to play the "Buts it an expansion" game. Promise broken clear as day.
