Q33: Is the $2 for an additional retainer a one time fee or a monthly fee?

A33: It will cost $2 every 30 days.

Okay.... So, dear people... Let me ask you a few questions here, answer as you please, but always with correction and respect:

1- What's your opinion about this? (Summarize)

2- Do you think we will have more things like this in the future totally changing our idea of FFXIV:ARR?

3- Am I just exaggerating and it's something normal or that, 'doesn't affect gameplay' even if it's confirmed that those 'ventures' will grant us items, and even if it is clear that we will need more space storage in the future?...

4- Is our voice enough for change these things?

5- Should retainers be in-game for guil or any other ways, giving the currency a little more of importance aside of housing?

6- Taking in mind these kind of strategies, do you think eventually the game will become a Pay 2 Win, or, not radically that, but, slowly increase the amount of money we pay per month if we want to play it full advantages?

Important Note: Other members of the forum will explain their opinion, it's just their opinion, please respect it and don't make of this thread a royal battle. Read and express your opinion, just that.

Thanks everyone.
