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.

Sometimes ppl dont know if they actually have time to play the game in that small frame of time. That 10$/month could give you hundreds of playtime, but it could also just give you a couple hours of playtime. All of this uncertainty after you pay a full game price on top of it. I believe this is the main reason why ppl (including me) are reluctant to spend money on sub model.
