Can we have FFXIV & FFXI sub shared

[Ayasaki128]

Like was in the 1.0
I miss FFXI, but I can only play in free logins.
Obrigado pela atenção

Free logins is pretty much the way to go with XI.

I say this as a guy who thinks XI is vastly superior to XIV, but one gets expansions...the other does not. Imo, you got the right idea. I only play during free logins most of the time, or the rare gear dial campaigns.

A shared sub would be ideal, because you cannot really justify charging people for a game which receives zero meaningful updates beyond fixes.....lol.....Like they are doing us a favor or something......

Vote up from me.

They justify it, because plenty of people pay it. Until it doesn't pay the power bill, then it will remain as is.

And to piggyback off of that, if it weren't making enough money to support itself as a bare minimum, they'd sooner drop the whole thing than make it free-to-play or bundle it as part of the XIV subscription service (which would still be essentially making FFXI free through XIV - it wouldn't be earning any money of its own).

A discount for linking subscriptions would be more likely.

Make it $20 and I'll gladly up the money I spend. That way when not in FFXIV I can return to the simpler (yet hellish) days of FFXI. Call me if you need a BLU or DRK...just know I have WHM as the sub for DRK because I DESPISE UNDEAD. I can't drain from them. T_T

TBH FFXIV is the simpler one in terms of gameplay. FFXI is just not as visually pretty due to being a PS2 era title while having the classic old school menu system.

yeah, ffxi/ffxiv shared sub should be a thing now, not only it let ffxiv players trying ffxi, but it's also keep the game alive for a while during maintence mode

That would actually get me to consider going through the insanity that is playonline.

It's actually only minimally intrusive these days. I logged back in after many years just the other day as an April Fools joke.

IMO the individual game subs in general should go in favor of just having the SE account either being free or premium where you pay a sub. The premium sub essentially giving full access to all their online games and they could even add minor perks for other titles like Outriders.

ATM Their MMO's would be FFXIV, FFXI, and DQX though DQX wasn't officially released outside Japan. However an account based sub would probably make it easier to market outside Japan opposed to the individual subs per game. I know large numbers of DQ fans in the west have been asking for the title to be localized outside Japan and I'm kind of surprised they still haven't tapped into that potential revenue yet. There was also Front Mission Online back in the PS2 days so there's definite possibilities for other online games in the future.
