SE consider a free to play option

[NadienKirisame]

No I haven't free loaded anything I have bought the $75 collectors edition, and paid over a few hundred on sub fees, as well as 10 years of FFXI.

Eh... nani?? sorry your time spent in FFXI really has no relation to this at all... Though I really don't have to say anything really now do I... HO HO HO... Preypacer has you on the ropes...

You spent only $75 on this... so if I spent more I should get more then you? Is that how we are working this now?? Oh sorry no that's not how it goes... you and those that think like you are pretty sad you know that... Please do me a favor... Th side of the ship is over there... do jump off for me... thank you...

The cat is bemused =-.-=

I too have paid for WoW my subscription is still current in that game, but they actually have a lot of content to do so its worth it.

then what are you crying for you didnt have to pay for FFXIV or play FFXI for a sub price... hell if your going to say that then why did you pay at all when you knew there was no content your logic makes no sense... so shouldn't you withhold your judgement on the model until you actually see ARR on release? Instead of assuming its going to bomb again?

I have no problem paying for something thats good however. I seen F2P games that offered more then 1.0.

$75 to buy the game + sub fee for every month is was pay to play. Same amount as you probably spent if you played every month they charged.

Um if you didn't know... v1.0 is done with... and thus has no real hold on what v2.0 will be like since v2.0 is totally new. Also on your note of F2P games having more... I will tell you this... I have played pretty much every single MMO P2P and F2P that has come out... why because I like doing that... I PLAY ALL THE GAMES!!! literally... all the games...

Do you know that I stick with P2P games much much longer and in fact I normally have 5 P2P games going at one time... do you know how fast I go through all those F2P games? Now why do you think it is hmmm? because silly they are boring as hell and there is nothing to them at all... NOTHING!

So I wish for them to keep this game P2P at least that way I will know it wont be a waste of my time like all those other pathetic F2P games...

You can run along to all of those... please... go ahead... run now...

Wasn't 1.0 FTP for most of its life anyway?

2.0 is a new, completely seperate release in my eyes. And getting it free to me is kindda like SE saying, sorry I know ffXIV was bad, here have a copy of FFXV on the house! I will willingly pay subscription fees as long as they game is good and keeps me rolling and since I consider it a new game I will expect just that, what an mmo is before it has an expansion.

However games like GW2 which are ftp but have the in-game store where you can buy whatever you need, do not get any money from me because I dont use the store option...ever. And other games I tried that were ftp got stale fast and had more in-game problems than any ptp I have experienced. Comparing ARR to WoW, XI or any established older game is just a silly arguement. You cant expect 10 years worth of content at release.

Microtransactions has nothing to add to FFXIV, I'll gladly pay the monthly fee. Equal content for all equal players. The market today does not demand it, It's just a way for developers to attract new players. Look at GW2, I have been playing this from the start, and like any other mmo, server merge is in the books. But putting that aside, I don't feel or think that GW2 will be the success everyone hoped it would be. The whole game feels too unpersonal for my taste, I have no connection with quests if you can call it that. Everything is about running mindlessly around doing random stuff. I don't pay attention to what is going on because it just doesn't feel worth looking into. Anyways i'm drifting off the wrong side of what this discussion is about.. No to microtransactions!
