Monthly Sub Increase

[TeresaFortell]

Not as if this were the only MMO game on the market. When you consider other MMOs are mostly around similar prices, and some adapting f2p models, then there isn’t really an excuse for SE to raise the subscription price.

Damn, this would be the most unpopular suggestion here except for the idea of a paid battle pass.

We already paid so much, even for the entry sub, new expansions, extra retainers, companion app, $400 fragile statues/emotes, and monthly new cash shop items.

They should increase the monthly fee. Not because of global economic whatever, but because it would be very funny. Btw, thanks for the free weekend Yoshida but i'm still not buying DT or resubbing. I WILL post on the forums though!

To be fair, they just need to slap a price on a better version of the CC battlepass. The framework is there but i'm sure CBU3 would NEVER do that! :^D

op unironically think SE needs more money from us to provide content lol

[Rithy255]

mmm pay more for less fun boring content... No thanks.

They had a lot of money coming in shadowbringers how come we didn't see any major improvements? almost like more money wouldn't solve the issue.

I reiterate: It's because the FFXIV money was reinvested all over SE and mostly not back into FFXIV.

SE have never raised FFXI's subscription in the over 20 years that game has been running (even when it's sub numbers dropped enough that they were consistantly closing servers down), so they won't change that either with FFXIV (also, there is a whole group of players whose subscription model states "reduced subscription for life" - aka, Legacy Campaign Members - so it's simply not going to happen).

The cost to buy the game may rise, and new items and the like on the Online Store may cost more, but subscription will always stay the same (this is incidentally why also paying for subscription with a credit or debit card instead of using a prepaid time card costs less overall - the time card can and will rise in cost to buy but the subscription rate stays the same).

no, we already pay a monthly sub, plus $2 USD for each additional retainer, plus the cash shop. no just no. they don't really even reinvest the money back into FFXIV.

To be honest I don't even believe this excuse. We started out having larger amounts of content. Bigger raids with (trash mobs) Alex, BcoB, multiple bosses in one fight (Alex), higher amounts of dungeons, battle leves, a relic quest that comes out at expansion start and has layers to it, more complex classes and then every time we get something new something has to be dropped. Even something as stupid as Grand company ranks should've gone up by one each expansion.

• Chocobo races never expanded on
• Companion never expanded on
• Company ranks whenever they remember it exists
• Squadron not expanded on
• Retainers still have the same amount as the start, with the lame excuse of server load being why they can't add more. (yet it would be possible if everyone buys them lol)
• Character creation never expanded on
• Overworld is just a lobby
• Same content release and predictable updates every expansion
• Housing still not fixed

Even the new stuff doesn't appear every expansion and they have to cut/alternate that to add something else. This shouldn't be the case they've had over 10 years, content should be expanded not cut and staff should've been increased over that time.
