FF14 and additional fees

[ManuelBravo]

from my understanding.. (what I read, I doono the prices personally)
7 retainer = 14 USDapp 5 USD
app blocked retainer 2 USD
+21 USD + base sub , as you see, base sub wasn't included for the "13.99"
just drop the sub fee all together, the mog shop, app and retainer fees alone make it F2P model

Love your model however prices vary as well for sub. example;

Legacy Sub = 8
Retainers 9 - 2 (free original retainers included in Sub. ) = 7 x 2 = 14
App = 5 + 2 for retainer = 7

Close to $30 not counting internet services needed. In my case with Business line internet dedicated to gaming $40 if you add PSN monthly charge when using PS4 almost $90 a month for gaming. around $1080 a year. It may seem like a lot for a one game -.-; to me the value is worth it though. Now many who live of their parents internet won't know the real value until they are on their own. This in CA, USA by the way.

Being the game alone everything can be a choice. People don't need to get the retainers or app, if legacy 7.99 looks cheap right? ( 95.88 a year ) So perception and reality. Many people probably don't even plan on having or even have full retainers so these prices would only affect them if they add it to their accounts OPTIONAL services.
