In my opinion, it is. Why would Square Enix put a subscription fee for a MMO that's heading to a console? Absolutely ridiculous. If they do plan on keeping the subscription fee for the PS3 version, I'm going to cross this off my Wishlist. In fact, they should just scrap the fee altogether. Still looking forward to versusXIII, sigh....

Almost all MMO's that are being made by higher class companies (not like companies like IGG and others, that have 400 games of the same concept) have a subscription fee.

Plain and simple, I think the PS3 version should be free though, and the PC one remain P2P.
