Cash Shop Items for FFXIV possible future update?

[Lum]

most of them didnt state good reasons they are only afraid of cash shop items that boost ur character and FFXIV becoming F2P which i dont see a reason for cash shop to exist with subscription no one will force them to buy from cash shop items

We don't really need "good reasons". You either want it or you don't. Aside from buying a collectors edition or something similar, if i cant earn it in game then i don't support having it available for real money.

Pretty sums it up. XD

If anything, giving the devs and SE more ways to earn revenue through the game gives them more incentive to really support the game as much as possible. Offering a free-2-play alongside a subscription model also allows them to potentially gain even more of an audience.

Someone else mentioned the idea of F2P players having to pay real money on "boutiques" while subscription players can pay with gil? That sounds like a potentially decent solution.
