In ARR, you are going to be able to create 8 or 40 characters, with a max of 8 per server, at no additional charge. This conversation is king of pointless.
I like frog
I don't know if I will really need extra retainers, but if it will be the case I'll pay for them but not monthly! I don't know, €2,00 per retainer forever.
You know, this is a great idea! It's not like SE didn't think of this idea before FFXIV 1.0 came out or anything...
It just never saw the light of day because of FFXIV 1.0's fail launch.
way, way, way too cheap. i would buy as many retainers as possible at that price.€2,00 per retainer forever.
I still believe real life cash shouldn't be used for retainers...but if they were, I agree with the one time charge...monthly is out of the question...even if retainers are account bound...they will fill up CRAZY fast with 8 characters on a server.
Personally I don't think that paying for extra retainers with real money will work very well, considering that you can make up to 8? characters on one account which each character will have its own two retainers, so most people would just created extra characters and just send items to those characters and put it on their retainers at no additional charge.
In ARR retainers could be used as storage but the main purpose of them would be to sell items in wards, I would assume at least. So if you like hording items for crafting and stuff than you should be ok to store them in your housing.

Only Legacy and those who pay for the premium monthly fee get 8 characters. Basic monthly you cannot.
