Is our sub fee not enought

[edit] Around 12:40, it's translated he mentions using the profits to add new things such as the EU data centre.

More housing options ! Wait, do you hear that? ... WOOOSH! That's the sound of all those new lots being purchased under an hour of being open haha. I should make an instanced house billboard or something so I can post it on the fly lol. Hope Yoshida has seen Wildstar, or out of the last 10 posts that I mentioned it that one of our forum gods suggested they check it out (just the housing system, suggest the trailer its short and easy to see~ lol) XD...

Just to add though this link doesn't prove that cash shop was used for adding more inventory space, but that they said that they use cash shop funds for somethings (like EU server). I'm sure some of it is helpful to the game, and other games.

A random aside.. I've always wondered if these fan fests (not just FFXIV, other games too) could find a better way to include everyone (while of course keeping the goodies to those who get the virtual ticket). I feel its a bit funny that A. it's incredibly easy to get around these things (every blizzcon like 50 different options pop up) B. pay or don't be considered a fan (?). Perhaps besides the virtual reward they could add an after party instance in game people could join and give a bunch of fireworks or something lol, then allow a non-premium stream to the public on twitch.

Even though since I've made the comparison it's worth mentioning Blizzcon's opening ceremony is free, you just don't get to watch the panels which tend to have a lot of info in them too.
