Do you think...?

[Indrijid]

That the game will ever feature a store for mounts, weapons etc. purchasable with real money? So many MMOs have that sort of thing, is it only a matter of time?

[SpookyGhost]

It's a subscription model, so no.

It's a subscription model, so no.

WoW kinda invalidates that.

Dang >.< I'm terrible at finding new stuff, so I always end up in those stores.

I think there was a thread about official translation for paid retainers..

Edit: here you go


F: What about the additional features for retainers coming in patch 2.2?

Y: We will implement a fee based retainer service which we have been announcing since the previous FFXIV days. With that, we’re going to add new features aside from being able to store items, and currently preparing for it.

Not sure how to interpret that one though. The fee could have mean the "in game gil" that we need to pay to hire the extra retainer since our first 2 retainers are free?

I came here only to play WITHOUT these "features".

A thing I loved of this game and even if eventually I reach to explore it to the max is that it's not "Free to play" what always, always, (did I used always word already?) have a 'garbage item shop'...

I just can't stand games that are 'free' but you have to pay for enjoy the game or play it in same conditions than others, are the already knwon P2W (Pay to win) a damn genre that increased a lot these last years....

Don't worry, this game you pay your monthly fee and you forget about the rest, it's the best thing it has ^^... I doubt they would ever change that because would be a fail and probably make a massive exodus, reason is....

I like your hopfulness but highly doubt it. lol

Just a matter of time before people realize the mog station is just a hidden start of a big cash shop in disguise.

Edit: also have a vague memory of my 1.0 days when the system was first talked about, about the pricing, thats going to be the same as a character (1$/eu?) per retainer a month... dont remember where I saw that but i somehow remembr that from the old days... Of course it could be different on 2.0

I think I read somewhere that you can send your retainers on a treasure hunt, sort of like the Pocketstation from ff8 if you do purchase that additional retainer. I highly doubt it's in gil.
