Technically Amy, your money doesn't 'pay for development of x' as much as you think, unless you happen to be one of the investors of the XIV project and/or SE, then sure.

Legit curiosity as much as fact checking your statement.

And your "other things" can be on the lodestone if they choose to do that. Drop the newspaper idea, it's pretty redundant since there is the newspaper here on the lodestone and it would just be easier to implement an in game menu based source of accessing the lodestone.

I'm sorry you don't like lore in your video games. It was just an idea, though I would much rather them have a quest or some sort with that info. Or just talking to npcs

You really think $10 is going to produce anything?

All that really pays for is server usage.

How about both in and out of game?

I wouldn't mind some lore bits to be read based on the Lodestone. And I wouldn't mind more being visited via cut-scenes, hidden novel bits in the game. Tutorial sections, etc.

I think all can and should be utilized, both in and out of the game. Eorza is, can, and should be more than just the in-game parts. We the community are a part of that as well and there's no harm giving us a bit of a background story on the side.

But I do agree we should get more of it in game as well.

What makes it tacked on? There is a lot of good info on those lodestone posts that should be in game.

nvm then. I said that because burnout paradise happen to open a browser window on startup, so i think'd possible
