    Of all the articles and interviews with Yoshi about ARR I must have missed that one, but knowing there are no investors involved, I'm really feeling much more relaxed!

    SQEX is too closed-minded because FFXIV is not a FPS! And they're too closed-minded because theres no Tauren race. And they're too closed-minded because I can't be a necromancer!

    Yeah, how dare they not make this game have everything I want!

    going f2p = - reputation

    Final Fantasy title should be no problem staying P2P... look at how many weirdo's out there buying the same Final Fantasy 1 every time it's re-released..... (I'm one of those weirdo's... orz) FF has a huge fan base, I bet it won't go F2P.

    i played f2p games that suck terribly, but are still going.
    even if ff14 went f2p it still wouldn't fail. 1.0 was fail, and still had quite a lot of players.
    f2p games make company more money. but hopefully they wouldn't put out stupid cash items, like increase meld chance, and you cant break item if you fail meld. that would quickly make IRL rich people have 5x meld sets.
    i'm not worried anyways.
    reason tera is f2p is i guess simply not many ppl play it, and it wasn't such a known game anyways. Many people i mentioned it to, had never heard of it. FF is very known brand, so i doubt it's gonna go the same way.

    Go look on GW2... Currently 1/2 of the players agree that the company nerfs every single way of making money (and bans anyone who "exploits" any mistake the company makes), just because you can pay real money to convert it to game gold.
    I hope FF14 never goes F2P
    That's not necessarily true if you don't mind playing a game casually not having all the content available maybe log in 2-4 times a month then F2P is a better option.

    Heeeh.. I dunno. Never played Tera so I can't make a judgement off of it, but I didn't see that game being real popular anyway. Some of these companies pay reviewers, streamers, etc to hype their game up sometimes which I felt Tera had a lot of. Just overrated hype..

    Another thing that FFXIV has on its side is the PS3 version. There's actually quite a few people who were interested in the PS3 version of the game and still are. People want an MMO on the PS3/ consoles and that was proven with DCUO it's just that SOE couldn't on to their player base after end game. SE just needs to grab the audience and hold them. I think they'll do just fine, but only time will tell.

    I wouldn't want to see ARR going F2P. I would rather pay every month and have SE give us support teams to maintain the game and developers to design new content. I want the game I plan on spending hours enjoying be financially able to grow over the years. When television is F2P - you get local channels...when you pay for cable or satellite - you get the world.
