    And to piggyback off of that, if it weren't making enough money to support itself as a bare minimum, they'd sooner drop the whole thing than make it free-to-play or bundle it as part of the XIV subscription service (which would still be essentially making FFXI free through XIV - it wouldn't be earning any money of its own).

    A discount for linking subscriptions would be more likely.

    Make it $20 and I'll gladly up the money I spend. That way when not in FFXIV I can return to the simpler (yet hellish) days of FFXI. Call me if you need a BLU or DRK...just know I have WHM as the sub for DRK because I DESPISE UNDEAD. I can't drain from them. T_T

    TBH FFXIV is the simpler one in terms of gameplay. FFXI is just not as visually pretty due to being a PS2 era title while having the classic old school menu system.

    I meant simpler days because a lot of us were still in school in its heyday.
