1 ultimate instead of 2 ?

dont they also say its ok to unsub if you have nothing to do and to come back later?

They say things like that to earn brownie points with their fans, but the way they run the game and their actions in the past don't really support the notion. They're a company running a subscription game, and it's within their interest to keep you subscribed for as long as possible. There have been multiple instances where they've decided on a delay or cancellation well ahead of time, but didn't actually notify the player-base until the proverbial last minute.

Agree. Is one of those "don't pay attention to what they said but to what they do". FFXIV has quite a few system that are just there to try to keep you sub as long as they can. However, FFXIV is also designed to make returning "easy" (at the same time GL trying to do content no longer popular) compare to other MMO's.
