Anyone who thought there wasn't going to be a subscription need to think harder. If FFXI had a monthly sub, why the hell wouldn't FFIV????

I'll be surprised if it didn't!

This. I mean come on. It was so blatantly obvious that their would be a subscription fee...

Now as for the 360 version, Gold users better be able to play it for free or cheaper than the others or else shits gonna hit the ceiling!

How did it cost for FFXI monthly subscription?

I hope Square can give us a demo to play or like a free "X" amount of days free-trial so gamers can decide if its worth getting.

This game is UNRELATED to XBL, Gold users will pay Silver users will pay the same amount. PC and PSN users will pay .....?

Thats right the same amount !!

beacuase there is much more competition and there is WOW and their first attemp flopped compared to every other FF sales

but it did not flop in the MMO space.. not one bit

well back then realtive succes was 400k subscribers now thanks to WOW it has to be ~5million and that will never happen, but WOW showed that the mmorpg market was HUGE and that every other MMORPG was just a huge fail.

then wii fit shows us that every other game ever in history is a failure.....

See what i did there?

Didn't they (either Square-Enix or Sony) say at E3 that they were looking into alternatives to the pay-to-play model? I guess they wanted more money instead. I personally think the pay-to -play model creates a barrier for most potential customers. There are alternatives (advertising, optional subscription with extra perks etc.) already mentioned in this thread.

For me, as with all pay-to-play based MMOs, no sale.
