Cash shop confirmed

[charlemagne]

Don't like it? Don't buy it.

We've paid our subscription, always thought that mean't we'd already bought it.

This! Exactly.

All of these items were developed using our subscription fee. We have already paid the money to develop them. How is it OK for us to be asked to pay an extra fee for them?

If these were NEW items developed by a separate team especially for the cash shop then that would be fine. But these were developed by the live team using the money we already paid them. That is NOT OK.

I would be curious to know what the japan's players community think about this.

To my little point of view, I couldn't care less about vanity shop to be honest, no one will force me to buy vanity things if I don't want to... But it still put serious questions about the future of this "extra".

this ^ is the real and very key question of a vanity cash shop in a P2P game, is it acceptable? And how many people/devs it will lock out from real ingame contents works? Will they be able to never cross the line and fall into pay to win cash shop?...
As an huge FF-fanboy, I'm feeling very disturbed by such weird decisions and hope to count on Square Enix wisdom.

You could spend a lifetime trying to get some of the rare rng items in this game. Time = money. Your buying it either way. This just gives people options.

lol Yeah Som, and so do RMT's. Doesn't mean it's acceptable. But, i guess when SE does it, it is right?

Dunno what the fuss is all about, the cash shop is for items that doesn't affect gameplay at all. To all the people complaining, do you also complain about concession stands in a cinema? You don't have to buy popcorn, you can watch the movie with out without it. Buying popcorn won't change the outcome of the movie.

Vanity stuff counts as content, now?

Yes, how does it not? Would you be okay if the game was just textureless flat polygons with stick figure skeletons for characters and that you had to pay optional to see each race and zone the way it's supposed to look?

Did it ever not?

What do you think the word "content" means, exactly?
