1) Do NOT charge the subscription fee until 2.0 comes out. you're planning on changing the whole game (even the graphics engine) so why charge monthly until that rolls out? you originally promised that the game would be free until it was completed. at release of 1.19 you announced that the game was 50%. 50% does not mean the game is completed.

2) Axe the subscription fee altogether. Wake up and smell the coffee, Square. A Subscription-based model for MMOs are falling. Free 2 Play is becoming the new standard, and in some ways, can lead to a better community and more profit for you guys in the long run. After all the bad rep this game has had, a relaunch isn't going to be enough, even if the game is good. if you make the game F2P it'll be much more enticing to customers. they'd have to buy the game, yea, but the game would be F2P with features and services they can purchase if they so choose.
