    But then they can't sell those games separately.
    I'm not sure this would be a sound business decision.

    Additionally, they've been very sensitive about devaluing their games. In FF14's early days they had a joint subscription deal with FF11 to compel people to try the new MMO (which was basically designed to be FF11-2), but that didn't last very long. As soon as they felt FF14 got its feet under it they stopped. And when asked if they'd ever bundle them together again they said no, because bundling them together felt (for them) like one was being bundled to the other and made it seem like each game can't stand on its own.
    By that same token, having entire games relegated to side content in FF14 def doesn't present them as a "beloved classic."

    Putting FFT in the Gold Saucer could be cool.
    Could be fun.
    But I don't think there's a chance of it happening.

    Your monthly sub is for FF14, not for access to a digital library of FF titles. Maybe that's a service they'll explore in the future, but if they ever did something like that I would be shocked if they nested access to some games behind others and didn't have each offered separately.

    And I'm not sure they'd give us other games to "add more value" to our monthly sub when they have no financial incentive to do so.
    FF14 isn't struggling for subscriptions.
    They have no reason to entice us with freebies.
    It would be nice of them, but I'm not gonna hold my breath on the hope a company gives me free things just to be nice.
