New ways to monetize the game through customization.

[Bukachu]

I think it'd be a great idea to make us pay every 72 steps we take in the game tbh.

[Dzian]

Do you really think so ? It remind of that argument saying that subscription price should be raised, and i always thought of mog station as an alternative to this.

Basically yes. Revenue from subs should be more than enough income to keep the game going and developing new content. So everything on the mog station should be attainable freely In game. Even if a bit grindy.

Perhaps tie the play dead emote to the kindness of strangers achievements. Raising 1,000 strangers or whatever that achievement is to unlock the emote .instead of making it something you have to pay extra for..

If the revenue from subs alone isn't sufficient to keep the game running then that highlights a huge problem with the games player base...

Mog Station shouldn't exist except perhaps for phyisic items like so e of the statues or security tokens or a final Fantasy xiv coffee mug..

[Ilisidi]

And statues should be merely pretty statues not extremely expensive emotes.

ok, what about profit and reinvestment into other projects the whole point of investing time and money into an MMO?.

SE is a business and FFXIV is a business venture. what I feel is lost on a lot of players.

All considered and factored in to the subscription plan pricing already. Again if the game can't turn a profit without the mog station then the subscriber base must be remarkably low..which would indicate some much larger problems.

Not like the game already does alot of money huh?

I'd rather they do use the money they already have for new things that everyone can have, instead of... you know, yet another mog station item.

But to each their own :3

Ugh, more black mage favoritism?

You don't understand, SE is barely making enough to keep the lights on! Also, they need more equipment to set up their NFTs! You see, we NEED the mogstation to exist or XIV would never happen! Won't anyone think of the mulitbillion yen company!?
:^)

Edit: I'm sure when they finally break even we will get revived Enix classic IPs like Bust-a-Groove! One day... I'll wait, i'm patient...

[Renalt]

No. I bought the game and I'm subscribed. That's all the money you are getting out of me. There are plenty of others that got to have the new thing as if it was a compulsive behavior so SE can milk them.

[Deveryn]

Ignore potential cost for a sec. Let's look at the idea of them adding a whole new set of animations to an increasing number of jobs that already have more and more added each expansion.

It's just not a worthwhile venture for them. They have enough to do as it is.
