    This sounds like a great idea, but i'm still part of the playerbase that believes there shouldn't be a cash shop and such features like this should be given somehow, perhaps with in-game gil or by a quest that gives an item like fantasia.


    It put a bitter taste in my mouth to witness SE following the crowd of in-game purchasing games and encouraging them to make such items as you've suggested a real-money purchase options is a bad thing in my mind.

    I too, struggle to find the time to play this game but i try my best, i don't have a lot of cash right now either but i feel the game is worth it. the problem is it's not just this game that does in-game purchases and if you play a lot of games, the temptation to spend extra cash when the game introduces a new shiny item is high.

    I play Counter-Strike quite frequently and there are skins you can purchase for your weapons on a market system. the difference however is that it does not affect the game play whatsoever, no weapon boosts, no armour-piercing bullet options, no accuracy boots etc. it's just a simple skin, which if people want to spend their real money on then fine, it's just a cosmetic thing. but when you're talking about a cash-shortcut because you can't find the time then that makes it a little unfair on some people.

    That's a different case though. This is not a "shortcut" you're not gaining anything, you're trading something. It's not like "buying a new weapon" it's more like "preserving your current progress" after-all maybe I trade my Bow for a Book, yeah maybe I just "shortcuted my scholar but now I also don't have a bow.
    I'm with you in feeling like it shouldn't be a cash shop at all but SE is a company and ideas are more likely to be pushed through if they can generate revenue in some way.
