An optional battle pass incorporated with a monthly subscription is a great way to lose a lot of subscriptions.
It's tone deaf. If anything, they should bring back the subscription rewards they used to do.

No please. If you want BP, play Diablo 4 xD we already pay for monthly subscriptions . I don't even want BP in ffxiv lol




As a person who has played games with battle passes (SMITE) no.
I don't care for having to buy or do some piece of content I do not care for to unlock it and continue on.
I don't care for having to wait til the next BP for things that I may or may not want because these things tend to last for months.
We already HAVE one - its in PvP and its just as horrible as everyone else's; we just don't pay.
You could argue that for PvE we have Wondrous and/or the Mogpendium with the latter's added bonus of never seeing the high tier items again unless its offered in another one + repeating waaaaay too many rewards we can get in game every time (ARR beast tribe mounts are consistently in there).
The game isn't in a good state rn, let alone great, and it does not need a Battle Pass to "fix" it or make it worse.
I'm tired of being told to wait for post-patches and expansions for fixes and increased healing requirements that are never coming. Healers are not fun in all forms of content like all jobs should be, they're replaced by tanks and dps due to low healing requirements and their dps kit is small for 0 reason, when in the past we had more options and handled things just fine. I refuse to play healer in roulette come DT. I refuse to heal EXs, I refuse to go into Savage, and I am boycotting Ultimate.

battle pass on top of a sub... are you ok?
No, please no battle pass system. I hate FOMO mechanics, if FFXIV got a battle pass system I would probably stop playing, nobody has the time for all the grind. I dropped Destiny in big part because of that system, it just felt pointless once you fail to complete a couple of battle passes.
i like swtor's system. actually got me back into playing that game regularly while this game's devs decided to just sit on their hands for the past several years.
Well well well. Looks like the devs may have looked at this or I had a the correct sense of things.
I play tons of games with Battle Passes and I think it'd be a great incentive to keep people logging on and actively playing. The issue is that it'd have to be free. Maybe even tied to the higher tier sub?


Hassling me into playing a game with passes (regardless whether they are paid or not) makes me want to play a game less not more.
