From their 2 year live broadcast http://live.bilibili.com/5225

The wings are decorative, cannot fly with them, and it costs 128 Yuan ($19 USD)

Are cool ideas no longer cool because things you don't like use them?

That makes you a hipster.

No, it's more that every terrible F2P MMO has wings. You can generally look at F2P MMOs and know that they're garbage if they have cosmetic wings. I'd rather FFXIV didn't become one of those MMOs, and quite a few people see it the same way.

As far as I can tell, alot of these players actually can't point a good reason as to why this shouldn't be in the game. If there was a gunblade class to be released they'd flip their shits just to play it, regardless of how it doesn't fit in with the lore since its garlean tech and we're eorzeans, but I bet you they'll theory craft something just so it would be possible. They just don't want it. Too bad for them.

Garlean tech exists in Hydaelyn. How we get it doesn't matter. It exists and therefore would not be lore-breaking for us to have it. Yoshi has even already said we likely WILL get a gunblade wielding job when we reach Garlemald in the story.

There are no humanoid races on Hydaelyn that have wings. It simply doesn't exist. There is no way to explain any of the player races just suddenly sprouting wings. That IS lore-breaking.

Your example is terrible as it only serves to highlight precisely why wings make no sense at all.

Really? FFXIV will suddenly become F2P and garbage if they add a piece of glamour that has wings....I mean from the screenshot we have I don't think they look all that great either and I kinda don't care if they add it (I want the bardings though), but this is a ridiculous argument. To me your example is terrible.

I mean will it make the news?

"THIS JUST IN: FFXIV adds two pieces of glamour gear! Black and white robes with wings attached. The game is now F2P and is automatically garbage."

"All because they added two optional glamours Steve?"

"Yeah it was a very bad move on their part Bob."

"Hear more at 11 about how this game is crashing and burning over 2 pieces of gear!"


I mean...come on...at least be real and just say you don't want them because you just don't like it.

People channeled their WoW hatred to F2P hatred now.

This guy nailed it a few days ago, people feel like they are superior because they pay a sub and any game that doesn't charge for a sub is automatically bad or inferior

the misplaced and faulty arrogance of people who play a mandatory sub-only game is astounding. (My game forces me to pay an additional subscription just to access the game that I paid 60 dollars for, and that makes me better than you.)

I've been playing MMOs since the 90s, and I've experienced every payment model there is.

the notion that a game having a mandatory (or you can't play the game that you paid for already)Subscription automatically makes it better than a game that doesn't is absurd.

Someone up there said the game would instantly become f2p and garbage if they added wings...

[Silvarion]

wth is this? a f2p mmorpg?

It's already look like a f2p mmorpg with all those glittering and glowing mounts.
