I buy 2097 crystal = 3 month fee + payment for my only character.

But then I realize I did the math wrong. I should have multiplied the character fee by 3, one for each month I'm going to play... this is unnecessarily convoluted! Shouldn't your character service be included in the basic service? As far as I know you can't pay for just enabling your account without an active character, and if so there would be no logic to it, so why not avoid the unnecessary hassle and include the basic character fee in the basic fee price? God!
It -should- be included, but when it comes to Marketing, SE never been bright, could it be on XI or XIV. Forcing your customers to do maths is just retarded. As for the "specify amount of crysta you want feature", SE should have made a simple script where the customer can just pick off a drop-down list the number of character he got and for how long he want to subscribe.

But yeah that would be too convenient! And remember convenient doesn't go with Square Enix. It's always more FUN to start calc.exe in order to know how many Crysta you should purchase.
