FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Purchase Questions

[Nix]

i relly need this answering because i dont find any info anywhere is the price Marked in blue at the top of the list Legacy price? also dose it meen that legcey mebers pay that price and out sub lasts for 180 days?! im a right in thinking that beacuse the bottom one is the same price and have less toons u can make and is only 30 day sub? dose any modderaters know imasking because im unsure and its not relly clear Thanks for the help if a modd answers

That's not the legacy price - basically if you look at the chart, from what it's saying is you can only purchase multi-month subscriptions if you have the standard package (40 char / 8 per server).

The chart is listing the monthly price instead of the complete price - the blue highlighted one is the best value for your money (hence the highlight).

For 180 day sub, you'll pay $12.99 / 7.99GBP / 10.99 EUR every 30 days for a total of 180 days (6 payments). the total cost will be - $77.94 / 47.94 GBP or 65.94 EUR

The multi-month subscriptions look a lot nicer when it's listed what you'll be charged for per month as opposed to the lump sums that I've listed above. It's a nice marketing tactic to make longer subscriptions look more appealing, even though you'll only be saving a little per month (Though it does add up!).

Around $2 / 1.30 GBP / 2.00 EUR per month, though if you add that up it can almost buy you an extra month of subscription.
$12 / 7.80 GBP / 12 EUR saved every 6 month cycle

I hope this clears up your confusion

As an edit:
The 'entry' subscription is best for those who do not want more than one character per server; it's at a permanent discounted rate because it suits those who do not and will not ever make an alternate character (but are still permitted to do so on other servers.).
The 'standard' subscription is well suited to those who would like to make multiple characters on the same account and are therefore charged a little extra.
Legacy is not being shown in the chart as we all know it's at an extremely discounted rate and that promotion is not being offered any longer so there's no point advertizing it for new players to wonder "Oh my gosh, how can I get Legacy?!" haha.
We are still unsure if Legacy will get multi-month subscription plans, but we are alredy getting a heavily discounted rate so I do not see it happening.

I hope I've answered all of your questions! Have a wonderful day!

Haha no worries, it can be confusing sometimes but rest assured, if you're legacy you'll still only be paying 6.89GBP per month and that subscription is for 30 days~

Have a wonderful day!

For 180 day sub, you'll pay $12.99 / 7.99GBP / 10.99 EUR every 30 days for a total of 180 days (6 payments). the total cost will be - $77.94 / 47.94 GBP or 65.94 EUR

Small correction: unless the billing scheme has changed from how it was in 1.0, multi-month subscriptions are a single fee paid in full up front. A 180-day subscription will cost you $77.94 / 47.94 GBP or 65.94 EUR at the time of purchase, averaging the monthly rate shown in the chart. Continuing on this plan would have you paying out about twice per year. The whole point of bulk rate subscriptions is that a company gets more guaranteed money up front in exchange for a discounted rate on the service.

I know the subs are paid up front, but on the chart was listed with only the monthly fee which is what I was trying to explain to our friend from blackpool back there

Thanks, though
