Forums - Sony Discussion - Final Fantasy XIV: Free-to-Play and beta announcement on PS3

ROFLMAO...yeah, it definitely going to be exclusive then...Sony likes to lose money, so I see another failure in the works. F2P doesn't work...even with micro-transactions. Sony keeps ponying up more requirements on it's servers, and believe me...like I saw when they were giving away ps3 in early 2007...this is going to get them in a hole that they can't dig out of.

Nice trolling , please list 3 games that have failed to be succesful due to their F2P payment system. You'll notice( well being the fanboy that you are you probably have neglected to notice) that F2P is becoming increasingly popular in the MMORPG market and is replacing the traditional subscription based payment system in many new games. It's not like running the game for free = running it at a loss , advertising and micro-transactions can make a healthy profit if done correctly.

I would be up to creating and maintaing a FF14 clan.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Free to play = This will be as big as WoW.

It will probably sell a lot more now, but I really doubt it will come close to WoW.  They have more people currently paying $15 a month than any single FF has sold.

Anyways, if this is true I will definitely give it a shot.  The only mmo I am interested in now is EVE, but it seems like newcomers can never catch up to other people, so that kind of put a damper on things.

Trolling...how much has WOW cost Blizzard to run?  If you don't know, then go do your homework...who pays for that upkeep...weekly maintenance, power bills for server, staffing, etc...is that all coverd by magical abilities?  Show me one F2P MMO with massive subscription...Unless you're talking micro-transaction, and then, that's not really F2P complete, imho.
