Can we have FFXIV & FFXI sub shared

[Kemiko]

They justify it, because plenty of people pay it. Until it doesn't pay the power bill, then it will remain as is.

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.
