This is pure, disgusting greed

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.

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.

It already has better QoL features and netcode lmao. They even have a proper glamour journal like WoW does. PC players has to go activate 20 different things in SimpleTweak just to get the very basic stuff.

A core problem is, why wouldn't they? corporations aren't without blame of course, but their behavior is predictable and they will do what nets the most profit, and you will see no shortage of people wearing the Hilda hair around, or how it was impossible to not trip on people wearing the Leisurewear outfit all over the game the week or so after it came out, too many people are too willing to buy, and so Square sees it as free money.

Even I can't claim to be fully immune to it, any time I see that damn store, the Far Eastern Maiden outfit speaks to me like it is the damn Green Goblin mask...

Corporations also have it in their best interest not to alienate their users time and again. Especially for a company front and center where players directly react to them.

On paper, yes, but you will have to do some serious cherry picking to find corporations that don't just push the envelope as far as they can.

You only need to look as far as Larian to see that not being greedy can pay huge dividends.

And you need to understand, Larian is a huge exception to this, I am not saying companies like such don't exist or even they aren't high profile, I am saying that in the number of companies that are like that is very low in their ecosystem.

Do not misunderstand my words as "They are doing the best possible for profits", I am saying that corporations act like that because they feel this is the best possible for profits, so much of corporatism is vibes-based bullshit led by Liches with misplaced phylacteries, and very often do not reflect reality, much like how they now have a hard line stance against remote work because they feel like it could lead to employees "cheating" them out of wages, with a lot of evidence pointing to the contrary, however, this type of behavior also makes them extremely predictable, with very sparse variants.

As long as they don't sell Pay to Win more then they already do. I'm all for people spending more money.

I have never paid extra for this game. But many people will likely people like you who clearlly really want that hair cut.

They don't make nearly as much as mobile gacha games.

Like it or not the ultimate blame lies with gamers, who accept slop day after day.

I'm personally not a fan of adding old event items to the cash shop. The items should be purchasable in-game while the events are running. To me, that screams GREED.

old event items should all go to the golden saucer as MGP rewards, hence they could even keep them in the cash shop for people who dont want to farm MGP.

they can sell MGP in the cash shop if they want, idc.
