Scared about ARR

[Zantetsuken]

When all is said and done, FFXIV might be the most expensive game ever made, so F2P isn't an option for SE.

Not only that, but a change to F2P is often seen as beginning of the death of an MMO game, which is the LAST thing FFXIV needs considering the 1.0 reception.

If SE wants to make this game great, it should actually charge a bit more the average market subscription price.

People who pay more for the game will value it more, and the composition and attitudes of the FFXIV community will be generally better than any cheaper P2P or F2P game.

And that will result in a growing number of people who tell their friends to join, and less players that want to quit for something else.
