I dunno, I feel like if you're commmiting to play the game perpetually, it's the best value for the player. The type of steady, constant content releases is only possible with a large dev team, which means that the development costs are constant, rather than project based. It requires a steady stream of income to match that.

Paying for the game plus $156 a year to keep playing it doesn't sounds like best value to me. I can buy other 3 games at release with that money, games like The Witcher or Disgaea or the likes that very likely will provide me more content that FF XIV expansions alone.

I pay $120 for a year (you get discounts for longer sub times), but I've also played a minimum of 500 hours each year. That's a very conservative number based on the amount of scheduled raid time I have each week. Sure, you get tons of value out of Witcher and Disgaea, but for someone who keeps coming back the game, I don't think you can really argue against the value it's able to provide.
