Will they be any incentives for FFXI players to try out ARR?

[PinkamenaDiane]

SE are you going to give any bonus to FFXI players for playing ARR? Like the discount for playing both like what was given in the past?

Maybe like subscribe to ARR and get FFXI for only $5 a month. I know a lot of players who still play FFXI but are not willing to try FFXIV for various reasons (attached to their FFXI character, don't want to play another mmo that's not like FFXI, heard bad reviews about 14.)

With the 5th FFXI expansion Seekers of Adoulin releasing on March 26th, this could be an ARR killer for some people. ARR may be released in July or so according to the time line but if FFXI players are content with the new expansion they might not even try ARR at all.

FFXI for only 5$ a month? Are you kidding? Lol They'd be shooting themselves in the foot setting the price that low.

And really, a perk (lower sub cost) won't be the key to baiting these folks into ARR. It'll be through promotion. There is no reason to try and bribe XI players into XIV..if they're curious they will check it out on their own.

actually 7.99 for XI like before if both are currently active. 5$ i wish!! >.<

I have Legacy status in FFXIV and I had that 7.99(or however much it was) deal when subscribed to FFXI at the same time and loved it. If they would bring back that deal, I'd totally be onboard for playing both.

Hey SE, you should totally bring back that deal. Two games for what is essentially one monthly fee? Yes please.

Unlikely. there was a discount for joint memberships since september but that is now gone... they may be returned one day but likely not on release...

I think the only incentive would be dual subs which gives you a discount for XI while trying out ARR or two games for one overall price, otherwise XI still is making them too much money to move people over, especially with a new expansion out in a few months.

I want to play a game where the content is fun to do not a boring grind.

Yet you defend XIV to the death.

OH NO HE SAID SOMETHING NEGATIVE ABOUT FFXI, I BETTER SAY SOMETHING DUMB AND TRY TO RETALIATE BY SAYING THE SAME THING ABOUT XIV EVEN IF IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
