Nope..never was and never will be.

Money from FF14 was being channeled into FF15 when they went over-budget... I wonder if something like that is happening again...

And when XV was still Versus XIII some of the money ment for it was instead diverted to revamping XIV after the 1.0 disaster. It goes many ways.

No official statement may have been made about where the money goes that is made through the mog station but none the less it's still going into the company and the company needs income to be able to continue to thrive.

Don't forget the servers need to be maintained as well and then there is the customer service team that handles customer inquiries and issues. There is a whole lot to this that a lot if ppl seem to over look and a lot of staff working at SE, they are not a small little company making poor games on a cheap budget.

How do you think they are able to come up with a budget to make any new games? There has to be a profit margin to do that. Funding to make 14 probably originated from the income they got from 11.

But did FF15 really need an Anime, a movie, and an FF15 themed car as well? During ff15 development the quality of FF14 patches last year went way down. I don't mind if this game funds their other games, as long as this game doesn't suffer as a result.

Weren't the Playdead/Backflip emotes? Actually from the other Eastern Versions of FF14.

The general theme so far is items we get from other versions cost a bit more than items actually developed for OUR mogstation. I don't know why this is?
I'll be buying both because I love having more emotes to bring my character to life, I do find them a bit pricy. But I have 100% drawn the line at the 100$ zantetsuken emote, that I really cannot justify XD

Stop saying CS is a good thing, you're wasting your time.

CS in a sub based MMO is an aberration

This is the first time I've seen SE do something like the mog station and selling in game items like that. The sub is also about the same as the sub for ff 11, I can't say for sure about other places in the world but the cost of living goes up all the time every year the minimum wage has increased by $5 in the last 5 years that ARR has been out.

All those against the mog station items you have to but would you rather they raise the sub fee to bring in the extra income to adjust to current the world market?

I would rather them just switch to F2P if the subscription model isn't working and expand the cash shop until their hearts are content than pay a sub fee AND gradually feel like a second class player if I don't spend more and more on top of that. And yes, this includes with cosmetics since we've established a precedent.

If people make it profitable, SE like any smart business will push consumers to their limits.
