Free to play on PS3? aw fuck yeah! that takes care of a big obstacle for me.

F2P equals micro transactions. Want new armor? That'll be $.99. Want a new sword? $2.99 please. Want to buy a mount? $4.99 please.

Either way an MMO is costly, and in this scenario it can get even more costly because the amounts you pay are smaller, but add up quickly and you can lose track of how much you spent.

Also, this is kind of like Home. Free to get in, but customizing anything costs money.

better watchout...darth will report you as a troll for pointing out little facts like these...

Not when there are facts that back up an opinion.  There is NOTHING factual about your original post that backs up you personal accessment that F2P will be a detremental route for FFXIV...

"ROFLMAO...yeah, it definitely going to be exclusive then...Sony likes to lose money, so I see another failure in the works. F2P doesn't work...even with micro-transactions. Sony keeps ponying up more requirements on it's servers, and believe me...like I saw when they were giving away ps3 in early 2007...this is going to get them in a hole that they can't dig out of."

Any facts to back up your statemnet that cannot be counter argued by the actual facts that have already been presented?
