Will FFXIV ever go f2p?

I think they should do what WoW does: you only need to buy game time to play all but the latest expansion.

Or b2p, rather... meaning you’d just buy the expansions and play without a sub. I know SE needs money, but they already have a cash shop — an expensive cash shop — on top of their monthly fee.

Judging by the terrible “Endwalker” name and the ending of the major arc, this game is heading towards becoming one big ad for its cash shop.

"Endwalker" sounds horriable is only English as a language is lack of ability to be as narrative in comparison to Chinese and Japanese
The Japanese version is far better than English version
Also, your logic is awful horrible to think that a game need to be F2P just because you don't like the name
