And that’s a GOOD thing. It lets us play other games. We have a ton of games coming out this season, and the last thing we want to play is FFXIV. Let’s face it, this game is a bit like FFXIII. The story is good, boss battles and music are fancy, but once you’re done? You put it down. The ability to play other games is a major draw to FFXIV. We pay $13/month for the ability to play any other game that we want. WoW forces you to play. You pay $15/month to be taken away from your other games, from your friends on Discord, from everything else that you care about.

Yoshida is a family man and he understands the value of our time. With the “drought” (I call it a life-enhancement period), we can explore new hobbies, have time for the spouse and kids, and play other video games. If anything, I hope 6.3 gets pushed back so we have more time to do things that we actually enjoy.


Spot on! Without FFXIV, how will I ever have the time to play other games?
-Pay monthly 15 usd for access to play a single game (meanwhile gamepass for 1 dollar or 8 gives you more than 100 per month)
-Online store where an virtual outfit that doesn't match certain "new" races costs sometimes twice as an entry sub.
-Recycled evens since 2015.
-New content every 3-4 month
-Please give us less content so we can play other games
-Thanks devs

What kind of logic its that?.
