I think you need to re-evaluate who is spreading false information.
Wow. This is what I'm talking about. SE's talent for making things convoluted once again confuses people. People actually think they're getting a bigger discount than they really are.

the pricing itself says this

"* One character save slot as well as a basic service fee is required to play FINAL FANTASY XIV "
TheVedis is right. If you scroll down the page and look at the fee breakdown, you'll see the real details.



What this means, in reality, is this:

30 Days - $6.99 Service Fee + $3.00 Character Fee = $9.99
90 Days - $5.99 Service Fee + $3.00 Character Fee = $8.99
180 Days - $4.99 Service Fee + $3.00 Character Fee = $7.99

The absolute cheapest you can play this game is 8 bucks a month. But the only people who will benefit are the diehard fans, the ones who will be willing to pay 6 months worth of fees upfront. Anyone who is on the fence and only wants to pay by the month will get it at 10 bucks a month.
