SE Please implement a Chonoscroll/PLEX system in FFXIV: ARR

We brought this thread to Yoshida's attention and here's what he had to say:

This is an interesting idea.

However, we are currently aiming to get a solid monthly subscription base for ARR. I previously mentioned this in interviews, but there are various types of business models and new business models still being introduced, so once we establish the proper monthly subscription base, we will look into other business models.

So with that said, we can't really say whether or not we will do it currently.

Thanks Rukkirii.

Can we now let this topic die a natural death? If Yoshi feels it is viable and beneficial to the game he reserves the right to implement it.

Thanks Rukkirii. Glad to know that ultra director Yoshi-P has an open mind.

tbh, it probably wouldn't make sense to implement at a (re)launch anyway since new servers wouldn't have economies to begin with.

This makes sense, Chronoscroll wasn't implemented right away neither.

That's awesome to hear! Thanks a lot for bringing it to Yoshida-san's attention. I really appreciate it Rukkirii.

Glad to see that they may be considering it for the future. Hopefully they'll look into this over hybrid business models (F2P plus optional sub), that are the most usual alternative but tends to really dilute content for paying players

So much for "SE will never consider this!".

Remember people. Good game developers consider *every* option. This doesn't mean they will implement them all, but open mindedness is what distinguishes a good developer from a great one.

The previous leadership wasn't made of bad developers per se, but they did seem very much close minded, unable to look at the rest of the market. What I always liked about Yoshida is that he has a very attentive eye on the rest on the market (being a MMORPG player himself), and is open minded about taking from it what can help is own ideas.

And it wouldn't have been possible without Abriael making this awesome thread and being completely condescending to everyone that had a differing opinion! Hooray ^_^

So much for "SE will never consider this!".

It's important to consider what is trash or not before you throw it away.

Cheers.

I'm afraid that refuting your points doesn't equate to "being a complete ass" to you. As much as you may like people bowing as you pass by and letting you have your way, that's not how it works

But hey, do go on insulting if it floats your boat. This is the internet, after all.
