Who is jumping ship once they start charging in November?

[KamikazeMan]

How am I missing the point the subject of the thread is "Who is jumping ship once they start charging in November?".

My response is no I will not jump ship because $15 a month is nothing to me. And as of recent I am on unemployment. These guys have made strides in development over the recent months and although I don't expect there will be much content added between now and the end of next year I plan to max out half my jobs so that when 2.0 hits and PS3 is launched I can help others in the new world.

So what is the point I'm missing? To boycott the game because they are going to make seemingly spectacular changes in a year (dungeon finder excluded) and supporting that would be a sin?

You're still missing the point.

Sure the game will be amazing in a year, but in the meantime, the game will still be practically in beta form. A lot of the MMO essentials are missing, and they're still in the process of balancing things and making huge changes. They are definitely making some great changes, but the worthwhile changes are still several months out and I see no point in paying for the game till those changes are implemented in the game. In its current state, XIV is just not worth monthly fees.

Too many other non square enix games that aren't broken out there to justify paying. I'll come back when the letter from the producer 40 comes out and yoshida says this game is at 100%. Honestly Yoichi Wada is trying his hardest to kill this series. I WILL NOT FORGET: ffxii has a transvestite for a main character so the game could appeal to women. I WILL NOT FORGET: ffxiii was raped so that it could go onto the xbox. I WILL NOT FORGET: the entire reason this game is the laughing stock of the gaming industry is because of YOICHI FKING WADA.

Technically, there was no "main character" in XII and for that one "transvestite", you had Basch, Balthier, Fran and a slew of other interesting/cool characters.

I will not forget that you are probably one of the dumbest posters on these forums.

I personally enjoyed FFXII, and so did a great many people that I know.

Well, every FF has gone down hill since X but they are still fun.

Debating.

Right now the futuer concepts look promising, but we're still being told we're paying for something that's currently a lump of !@#$.

2.0 looks absolutely amazing...but it's a long way off (over a year). I'll start paying once this game has all of the MMO basics and some more content. Maybe after the job patch is out.

as I said in another thread, this is like a company charging us pre-order customers for a game, every month, years before it comes out, just because we pre-ordered the game.

but at the same time, I understand and respect their decision. A year's worth of payments will get the game up and going quickly.

If I just take out the DVD-rental part of my Netflix (so much TV to stream can't keep up), cancel my GameFly (not playing enough to warrant this between Netflix and FFXIV), I'll have an extra $24 bux for FFXIV!

Har har! (And no I will not resort to piracy for those movies, just because I'm a sexy marauding pirate that loves booty (treasure) and hangs out in Limsa).
