SE consider a free to play option

If your money is so tight that you can't afford a $9.99 a month subscription or even a $14.99 a month subscription to a video game, then chances are you really have bigger problems than not being able to afford to play FFXIV. I'm usually dirt-broke myself, and yet I still was able to get the cash together to play SWTOR every month. Really, it is a very cheap sub model. And the game is awesome sauce. There is absolutely no need whatsoever for the game to go FTP.

On another note, this thread is kind of pointless. Not trying to be mean, but there's like two other threads like this already.

Hell, I was unemployed for about 3-4 months at one point (contract was ended prematurely due to "revision of company priorities" at the top level, and the project I was working on being cut -yay), and there wasn't much of a market for what I did in that area at the time... so finding work was tough.

With what money I'd saved up, I allowed myself the sub fee each month to play FFXI. It was, by far, the cheapest and most worthwhile entertainment expense I could have possibly hoped for at that time. It was also my sanity for a while there lol.
