So is FF14 MUCH MORE Important now for PS3? (Free-2-Play it is)!

So when did they confirm it was Free-to-Play? A link would be nice, cause last I heard the pricing was TBD. If it is Free-to-Play, then it is going to have a bigger impact since more people would get it with out having to dish out $120+ a year to play it. I could see this actually selling a couple million, and even I would be interested.

Free to play, but they also end up having ingame advertising and also expect you to buy in game items with real cash.

Anyhow, I wonder how Free Realm is coming along.

 

Just saw this the other day on Kotaku:

I think free-to-play could be a good idea for SE, especially if they're releasing it on 360 soon after it launches.  Console gamers like to play a variety of different games, and having to pay 15.00 a month kind of makes you feel like you're wasting time if you're playing some other game.

On the other hand, with SE's illustrious history of charging more than anyone else for pretty much everything, I shudder to think how any model they develop themselves would work.
