Yes. Were you expecting a different answer?

Which is the same thing. Unless you know of a way to play any versions of the game client other than the current version and connect to the server in a state other than the current state...

You see optional side stuff that you can buy, then it means the game is Incomplete.
Am I understanding you?
Yes and no.

Like I said, my beef is not the money, but rather it being a separate purchase that I have to go through to get those items if I want them. I'd rather pay for these things up front.

They could add a third subscription option to look like this:

Entry - $12 a month
Standard -$15 a month
Mog-Station OCD Hoarder - However much it takes to get these things for free.

Heck, if they did that, then all of this would be a non-issue even with a cash shop.
