| VanceIX said: Final Fantasy XIV is locked behind a sub wall, meaning the potential audience is greatly reduced. Pay money for the game, pay money for PS+ (not required, but most people will want it), and then pay $15 a month to play, along with more cash for expansions. There's a reason why most MMOs don't take off with a wide audience. |
I bought the game at GS for 40 bucks, it comes with 30 days, GS has a deal if you buy 2 month more months they give you a 15 dollar gift care, used gift care to buyu 1 more months so all told I spend 75 bucks including tax and got the game an 4 months subscript. If I do end up renewing sub 4 months from now there is no was I would have found a better value on a console.
