Where does mog station revenue go?

[TouchandFeel]

The Mog Station is a money making scheme concocted by the Moogles of Moghome in order to fund their lackadaisical lifestyle and to avoid work.

Rumor has it that it was created and is maintained by poor individuals that were suckered in by the Moogles' irresistible cuteness to "assist" them with a minor chore.

That's the very least of what we're getting in Stormblood. We might be getting more as we get closer and they reveal surprises.

Just because we're only getting 2 classes instead of 3 and may not be getting a race doesn't mean they were "slacking off" or wasting money.

It's always hilarious when people attempt armchair development and think they understand a company's finances and how they spend their money.

Heavensward budget: ~$12 million.
Stormblood budget: ~$36 million.

That was a hoax created in Gamefaq FFXIV boards, the trolls over there love to create hoaxes and mislead people, SE has never disclosed this information and I don't think they ever will.

Revenue from 14 goes into a variety of things like new content for 14, it goes into developing new games (funding for this would also come from other games that had been released) without developing new games the company would die out.

ARR probably had more content than hw and more dungeons being added in earlier patches than the later ones, you have to realize as well during probably the first year and a half of the game they were trying to recover from the train wreck of 1.0 and not actively developing any expansion content, I think 1.0 nearly ruined the company

Here's that joke again. I LOVE IT. Please keep spreading this misinformation so the shitstorm is even bigger when the expac isnt what everyone dreams of

Okay.
Stormblood buget: ~$0.36

Point is not derailed. It is still money needed that is [probably] fueled from Mogstation purchases and other sources.

3.1 to 3.2 count the Tuesdays 16, 3.2 to 3.3 15 Tuesdays, 3.4 to 3.5 16 Tuesdays. That is why I said weeks you can be 3 months on a Calendar and still be close 16 weeks. Now i am not sure why you said duties when I said dungeon. I believe it was 3.1 they went from 3 max dungeons to 2. You aren't counting stuff like trials are you? They even admited that we would get one less per patch. So they could work on other stuff diadem /yuck.

With patches in between 3.1 and 3.2 as well as 3.3. For some reason, people don't want to count the patches in between this, even though they will contain content.

I say duties as they are still instances and are things people traverse to complete. If you mean by dungeons that simply go into places like expert roulette, well, you failed to specify this. I am literally counting everything- Feast, Savage, EX primals, etc.

GameFAQs still exists? I thought that was a relic of the past, much like Myspace. I read it here on the forums and seeing how the budget for Heavensward was found out, didn't really look much past it. Oh well, my mistake and I got trolled. C'est la vie.

Same here. It's not to be bitter, it's just...SE is going a bit too far and I am tired of buying stuff I hardly even use from there heh.
