Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is, Yoshi-P

"Take breaks and play other games" Means "Don't Unsub and play other games, preferably other Square Enix games if possible if you're getting bored"

An MMO that doesn't want you to play it constantly (Not by predatory gameplay design, mind you) is not an MMO in my mind. This game needs more content, plain and simple. Gameplay content, things to grind, more rng, more excitement.

What you have listed are all FOMO-based practices that a $15 a month + expansions + mog store game practices, and the community will defend it and say its not FOMO. If you don't log in for the day the miss your roulettes, if you decide to take a break, you are behind 450 tomes from where you could've been. Its all F2p mobile garbage

It really boggles my mind. The most predatory thing they have going is hosing, which hasn't been updated in how many years(?) outside of basic neighborhood additions that reuse tons of assets. So even their predatory behavior is uncreative and lazy.

If their goal is simply to manage an online mainline FF RPG, they need to just drop the subscription. They never had any business charging it. This game is more suited to a B2P model at best, where players front the money for expansions every two years.

Considering the game posts declines in profits outside major expansion quarters, I'd assume a sizable number of players treats the game this way already.
