Final Fantasy 14 game cards

[Mushy]

Will we be seeing these in stores? I know you can get a Visa giftcard, but I remember having problems with that back in FFXI due to them unable to verify zip code or whatever the error was.

I am hoping SE will have these. Any chance you think?

Welp, there you have it.

In all honesty though, I don't believe XI and thus far XIV have been mainstream enough outside of japan to ever warrant the additional costs of putting out prepaid cards. If anything one could hope and pray they simply allow direct credit card transactions. Most countries don't even have that option.

For the desperate, I vaguely recall the XI cards from Japan worked else ware, and a few people would import them. But even so that's not economical on the player's part when most banks will open you up a checking and debit card account for as low at $5 balance.

its a good idea i think. might be good when ps3 version launch.

Maybe SE will consider Crysta cards if things pick up.

there cards you could buy for 20$ that give you crysta so i don't think they come up with a final fantasy xiv version only. But it be nice to have prepaid cards one day.

I can't imagine the cost being a big deal. Around here, there are tons of F2P MMORPGs (and even Facebook games) that have their game currency cards available at Gamestop, so I can't imagine the cost factor is very prohibitive.
