Sell Fantasia on the Mogstation

[HurtigeKarl]

@ Rekujen:

Yes, but this is FFXIV, not GW2. What in-game balance are you refering to? There is no PvP yet in this game and even if there were, the PvP could be adjusted seperately, so why not simply introduce a "buy gil" option like in F2P games and GW2? Why does it matter to you if someone else paid money to get better equips than you, if those equips won't matter in PvP or if you never play PvP to begin with?

And before you say "game balance": you can make sure you got items that are not overpowered so that the gameplay is balanced for you. Why would it matter if some chooses to pay to make the gameplay for him easy-mode?

You see, you need a strong foundation to build an opinion on, otherwise it is just some random line you draw. The foundation I use is: I do not think it is okay for a company to sell anything in their item mall that is a part of an important aspect of the game. That's why it is ok for LoL and PoE, but not for GW2 nor FFXIV to sell vanity items there.

The difference between paying for a re-customization and "easy mode gameplay" are you serious? there's a fine line between personal preference and difficulty settings, I wouldn't even know how to explain that to you, it's pretty common sense isn't it?

changing how my character looks doesn't affect anyone but me, buying armor affects the world because it gives you an advantage over other players.

C'mon Square!

pretty sure you can expect it to be implemented soon, along with name change, server transfer etc...its standard issue with just about any MMO out there.

I think I'll be a bit annoyed at Fantasia being some stupidly expensive Grand Company item. Rather just pay the $10-$20 for it on Mogstation and call it a day.

I'd prefer this method honestly, I see it as the most likely course of action.

makes sense from a business stand point

One can very much argue, that you have no advantage of interest over other player if it doesn't affect PVP. Why would it matter to you if another player simplifies his pve experience, when you can choose to have it at a "balanced" level? You are not pvping each other.

It is standard issue for just about any MMO to go F2P as well if it becomes more profitable than P2P. So let's do that too in a year, right?

I can't believe so many of you are so keen to offer 20 bucks for this.

If the logic is that other mmo's also charge the same fee? Other mmo's also don't strongly guide you into using one and only one character. This isn't like the others.

Or is this your first mmo? After 2-3 years of playing the exact same character with the same looks non stop see how you feel about paying extra for your fantasia. Just wait till it happens These games can go on for a while...

What did final fantasy 11 do?
