Fat Moogle Mount on Mogstation!

Just out of curiosity, how many of your 4700 posts are of the complaining variety? lol

Feel free to have a look at my post history or check out some of the threads I've made with suggestions for the game. Most of them many people agreed with, most of those people probably aren't here today. Back in the 1.0 days you could actually get a real discussion going without someone telling you to leave the game or give them a like it or lump it attitude.

The "Complaining" variety is subjective of course so maybe all of them to you?

I understand the principle behind not paying additional for content in a subscription-based game.

Cognizant of the fact that subscription rates (FFXI, WoW as reference) aren't all that different 12 to 14 years later, I also understand a business' need to supplement revenue.

The reality we all face is that $1 back in 2002 / 2004 bought a lot more than $1 today. I'm not sure if the FF team is paid 2002 wages or their contractors or suppliers charge 2002 rates. I'd like to think it's safe to say they're probably closer to 2016 wages and rates.

With that perspective, personally I'm okay to pay subs at 2002 rates and for *some* aesthetics to be placed in a cash shop. Those that can / "must" afford to buy the items help supplement the revenue to run the game. I'm grateful for that.

Perhaps, I would *like* it to be like the 2000s? But I realise it's 2016.

On a side note for what it's worth: Generally speaking, I don't think insulting people who disagree with you is an effective way to sway people to your side. We'd just have to agree to disagree; and accept we can't always get what we want.

I'd much rather pay a bigger subscription fee for 2000's content rollout than pay less with supplements for 2016's.

About 34% bigger. $13 in 2002 is about $17.42 today. (-_-; )

Well, it is what it is. The world will keep on changing. 2000s not gonna come back as much as we reminisce of days past. Nor will 2016 when its 2032.

Enjoy the good with everything else!

Aw I was hoping you'd use the scene from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

They could find it humorous considering it isn't real? Fat pets aren't usually well liked, or might make people think poorly of the owner but none of that applies in a video game. I do agree that it's kinda ugly though, not a huge fan of the fat beast trend of FFXIV pets or mounts. The only mount I never regretted buying is the Enchanted Fey Dragon (horrible video though) as that actually felt like work had been put into it, and not just a retexture with model changes here and there.

Having said that, it's best they stick to recolours or slight model changes as that takes less development time. Even if people would have you believe the FFXIV team has a dedicated set of staff that only work on cash shop items, and the money made from the cash shop is used to fund said staff which is incredibly unlikely.
