Scared about ARR

[ShinMetsu]

It's no big surprise really imo that all those games go f2p...
What do you do? Level up, Raid till you get best gear, and then PvP until you hit boredom.

Imo, that is the reason ffxi has such longevity, because it's such a long way with so many things to complete.
Multiple Jobs, multiple gear sets per job.. You're never really done gearing up, there's always a goal to chase.

At least FFXIV got multiple jobs.
Can you guys imagine if you only could pick 1 class? We'd be done so quickly and left with no goals...
*reason i'm in favor of gear swaps*

You do know other MMOs give players plenty of alts right? Multiple jobs is still possible, not on the same character obviously as this is basically a FF MMO exclusive still, so you can still stretch out the longevity of content the same way. And to add to that, there is quite a lot of gear that gets bound to your account so you can still swap it between alts.

That makes me curious. I wonder how many people will actually use all their extra alt space in ARR considering there is no real need to make an alt. There is no big stat disparity between the races like in FFXI so the only 3 reasons would just be aesthetics, inventory space, and RP purposes. I personally have 3 accounts and I use 2 of them as alts since they are walking storage bins for me (and extra nuking/healing power for random "solo" things).

You could make a char for each state. do different storylines.
