This is pure, disgusting greed

To be fair, people were specifically asking for a way to purchase Fantasia in a less limited fashion.
The only way to purchase Fantasia back then, was through the mogstation in single-purchase options of 1, 3 or 5, with each option becoming unavailable after the first purchase.

that sort of implementation is both extremely funny and wholly unsurprising.

SquareEnix isn't doing so hot atm so I can't even blame them. I'm ok paying $5 for a great cosmetic if it helps support a company I have loved since I was a child.

It's always funny to see FFXIV players explain why their game is so much better than all those other free games full of microtransactions as if the mog shop doesn't get more updates than the actual game.

Can't wait for Mobile FFXIV to come out.

Either you live in a world where the Rowena hairstyle doesn't exist at all - or - you live in a world where the Rowena hairstyle exists for $5 on the Mog Station. You didn't have it before and you might still not have it if you don't want to part with $5 for it. It is an option you can take. It isn't much different than the vanity plate on a car. It makes your car "unique." At least I'd be the only one with YOSHISUX as opposed to hundreds of people with the Rowena haircut.

Corporations are people, and many people are poor. Square Enix Co., Ltd. is one of those poor people. $5 is enough for one person to avoid starvation for an evening. Why don't you care about the health and well-being of all those selfless poor souls at Square Enix?

yea true but it started with that. i still remember people throwing arbitrary numbers out like 20 bucks for a fantasia and all that and other stuff. Alot of people where against it then warning what would happened and here we are.

A very nice idea. But we all know that 5$ is going to engorged executives and half baked title installments.

It will 100% have more QoL, and probably more updates and fixes. It's run by the chinese, especially if the chinese "Yoshi P" is any part of it. He was already critizising that FFXIV needs to innovate and change up.
I wouldnt be surprised if the mobile version proves to be the superior version lol. Not that I will play it, but it will be hilarious to watch.

I honestly hate how this community is so stubborn against change and happy about the lack of content and innovation with this game.
