    Will people please stop bitching about the payments starting up, guess what? It's a game company and without money THERE IS NO GAME.

    You've had 1 year free to play the game, and now SE has 2 choices:

    1: Startup payments and fully develop FFXIV into FFXIV 2.0
    2: Barely update FFXIV untill they run out of money or no longer wish to blow money away.

    I am personally happy to pay because they have done a great job at turning things around so far, FFXIV was in development for about 6 years, yoshi and his team are redesigning the entire thing in 1.5 - 2 years.

    They also have the option to close down the servers and bring back FFXIV-2 as a new game later. Keeping the servers up costs money that could be saved. Paying the devs to keep providing updates and events for FFXIV-1 also costs money that could be saved.

    When we subscribe in November, we're paying for FFXIV-1. The game as it is then (or rather, as it is after the 1.20 patch). If you don't think it's worth your money, then don't sub. If you're just paying on the hope of 2.0, don't sub - just wait.

    If, on the other hand, like me, you're enjoying playing the game (and possibly also excited for 2.0, though that's not important), looking forward to the prelude events, and want to watch the redesign unfold in front of you, then pay.

    If you think you'd get more for your money elsewhere (buying 3 lattes a month, if not another game), then do. Take your money elsewhere. Don't upset yourself by raging on the forums at us "fanboys," "fangirls," and "white knights." Those of us who are enjoying the game will not be convinced that we aren't enjoying it. We're not buying a promise, we're buying the game as it is now.

    If you want to stick around and experience everything that's being done with FFXIV-1, but don't want to have to pay for it, well, tough love.

    [Addendum, since I spent way too long writing this post and others posted]
    Yes, they made money off box sales, but they aren't going to make you buy the game again when FFXIV-2 launches.

With the tough economy still lingering, finding an hour or two's wage each month will be tough, but I can help.


    You could: Skip the 2nd coffee of the morning once a week.
    You could: Buy single-ply TP instead of double.
    You could: Use 1 Alieve instead of 2 Asprin
    You could: Eat one twix bar, and save the other for later.
    You could: Cancel your redtube premier subscription.
    You could: Put the change from your pocket at the end of the day into a jar and roll it once a month.
    You could: Put regular gas in your SUV
    You could: Turn off your $300 Halloween lights decoration 3 hours before dawn.
    You could: Quit whining over a whopping $15.

    I will personally buy 2 less sodas a week.

    I hope these have helped. I sure as heck couldn't have survived this months rent if I hadn't taken them to heart.

    In short; Why is everyone in an uproar over $15 a month? I really don't understand. If you don't think the game is worth it, don't pay it.
    I clicked "Like!" just so I would have the opportunity to click "Unlike"


    Oh and by the way I am eatting both of my twix sticks nom nom nom!

    I have 8 crafts at 50. All I did was watch T.V. and spam standard for easy mode synths. Enjoy leveling those crafts in 1.19 and beyond everyone!

    $15 a month is hard to pay when you have a $700/month rent payment, $200/month in gas, x amount of insurance, $200 utility bill, $30 gated parking bill at the apartment, $40 street parking bill at work, $300 in food AND $150 a month for my addiction...


    plus christmas is coming up soon...*sigh* so many bills...guess I'll have to ask mommy for more money.

    Healer strike is ridiculously foolish and accomplishes nothing

    I'm pretty sure by the time they make it pay to play the game will be somewhat different than it is from now.

    I wouldn't say it's ready for sale again.. but it's definitely playable o__o;;

    $150 a month for my addiction...
    Like... Smoking/alcohol/drugs/gambling?

    xD Pleaaasse you didn't need to bring that up. That's definitely not an excuse.
