I'll just stick with Guild Wars for now. I'm still not comfortable with the whole idea of paying monthly for a game, but I'm getting used to it.
Final Fantasy XIV Will Have a Monthly Subscription
- Thread starter John Funk
- Start date
Personally I wasn't expecting otherwise (Well technically it never entered my mind that it might be anything else.)
but I havn't seen enough to say weither or not I'll covert from or do both FFXI and FFXIV or stay the course.
Side Note: ... I noticed a few Escapists with "Xbox 360 badges" saying thier against monthly fees ... Isn't yearly just as bad or not when the console/system as a whole does it?

Not at all, you need to realize though that most of the people whining about subscription fees are more than likely console gamers, from that perspective saying that might cause people think you need to install it on your pc to play it on your ps3. I was correcting that as I would not put it past some people that they would think that.HyenaThePirate said:
Honestly, a good P2P MMO can save you money, depending on your habits. "But how, Mr. Crimsane?" Well, if you're like me, you typically buy 2-3 games a month. However, when most of your time gaming is spent on an MMO you enjoy, you only buy one game a month, if that. My monthly gaming budget drops to ~$75 (60+15), instead of $120-$180 (60+60(+60?)).
"But it'd be better if it was free!" Bullshit. Monthly fees allow the company to do more than just pay to keep the servers running, they allow them to develop new content on the side. If the company relies on just box sales (like GW), sure it'll start strong, with consistent updates and the occasional large update. When box sales start to drop off, you start to see neglect. It typically starts in the PvP community, since most people tend to buy the game for PvE content. It eventually spreads through the entire game, with updates becoming smaller and less frequent, 'til the game just dies off.

Are you talking about the art or the game? Last time I checked, they were different. Final Fantasy game shave gone through a series of evolutions. The first themes incorporated traditional fantasy, Dungeons & Dragons type elements with medieval castles, dragons, knights, armor, and overall a very traditional flair. After that, it merged into the industrial sort of steampunk themes seen in 6 and 7. After that, it entered its goofy weird phase. The last time I checked, ass, there were differences between the styles seen in FF7 and FF12. Barrett had a fucking gun for an arm. He was the least girly character of any of them. They styles have changed noticeably in the past twenty or so years, which you'd know if you would actually back up any of your accusations with FUCKING PROOF. Yes, proof, that stuff intelligent people use when they are having a debate.Onmi said:
Honestly, I know and expect that this would have a monthly fee. That isn't the problem for me. My problem is if this turns out to be $15 while Final Fantasy XI is a mere $12.95 a month. I know that isn't much off, but still.
If you think threatening me with suspension scares me, then by all means have me suspended. You are under the impression that I give a shit and care that much about what happens on the internet. Let us not forget that you were the one who decided on starting a meaningless argument via a bunch of ones and zeroes to a complete stranger. Call me deluded all you want, but I still see no argument on your behalf, considering that the overall tone of the games has consistently changed overtime. Suspend me all you like, but it won't make you right.Onmi said:
Oh no. you caught me. Time to fess up.Onmi said:
I might as well come clean, Blizzaga hasn't been confirmed to be in FFXIII. And my statistics Are slightly altered.
Happy now?
This argument is pointless. Neither one of us will admit that we are wrong, and neither one of us will let it go. So, in the face of my short attention span and the fact that I really don't care anymore, I'm done. If it makes you feel better, I'll even admit I'm wrong, though I don't really think that I am. I do admit that Amano's artwork is gay, but it was only used for the first couple of games, so I can't really count that as solid proof for the whole series. However, like I said, I'm done. Bye bye, I won't be returning to this post. I have better things to do other than sitting around making pointless arguments for several thousand posts.Onmi said:
