Fantasia

[Rowde]

There are some games that allow this.

That being said, for it to be an actual gil sink... I feel like Fantasia would have to cost a bit more than 1m... maybe even somewhere between 5m ~ 10m.
I do think they'd need to remain untradeable at least.

It's not something that is outside the realm of possibility, as they did make changes to the premium dyes already.

I'm not against the idea suggested and obviously there would be varying degrees on what constitutes as "gil sink". But I also don't believe it'll happen at all since its been their most sold item for years since the cash shop was released.

I’m a Fantasia addict. So I’d like this.


But who’d sell them?

Is spending 5 quid the only way to get these potions? These would be a great gill sink. A vendor could sell them for 1m a pot. Why do they charge for these, it's greedy and annoying!

Would be a good gil sink, but its way better to earn money. Has also nothing to do with greed because SE is a company and has to generate money.

I just think with the amount of the sub we have to pay they should be included? If the model is f2p then I get it but this game isn't. It's greedy to charge a sub and have a cash shop? They could at least put them on the market board like dyes. I'd rather pay 5m than 5 quid.

The only comparable MMO that we can use for this cost comparison is the only other successful Sub based game, World of Warcraft. In World of Warcraft in addition to your monthly sub cost you have three options for changing character customization. A $15 Appearance Change which covers only appearances and gender, a $25 race change which only covers changing to a race within the same Faction, and a $30 Faction change to change to a race outside of your current faction. This is compared to our $10 Fantasia which allows you to change EVERYTHING for with a single service. Now I'm not entirely certain how this works since I left before they added the in-game token, but if the token is a 1-1 currency change that means you need to spend twice the amount of gold to get enough shop currency to buy a race change than you do your sub. So all in all... I think we have it pretty great tbh. Even in the other MMOs I played race changes usually costed about $20-$30 worth of real currency, and their in game currency to shop currency exchanges always required someone to be footing the actual monetary bill at some point.

No it shouldn't. You pay to be able to play the game, you pay that the game gets patches and that it gets the needed maintenance. Your sub doesn't include extras like this.

Trying to think of a MMO that offers complete character recustomizations without charging real money.

Drawing a blank. In fact, most of them charge at least twice as much.

You should be thankful it's so cheap you're not paying as much every time you change your mind about your character.

I know RuneScape does. Not quite the same ballgame as it's a very low quality game in terms of graphics compared to Final Fantasy and even World of Warcraft. Can change your default clothes for free in Varrock, hair in Falador, and gender and skin colour just southwest of Falador.

They won't put it in a in game vendor it's the top seller 95% of the time.
