![]() I dunno why this comment isn't near the top. It's like saying why should I go eat at a high class steak house, when I can also eat steaks from my local butcher shop or super market? the level of quality is just incomparable. ![]() Do other MMOs have constant major content patches every 3.5 months?įinally comparing this game or even WoW to other MMOs like runescape or Albion is like comparing a high class restaurant to. That's without even including the constant new free content updates every 3.5 months. Have you bought less than 2 games in 5 months previously? Before you ask, yes this game EASILY has enough content to last you 5 months. In 5 WHOLE MONTHS, you'll have paid the equivalent of 2 other triple AAA games. So no, it's not $100 to play this game, its $60 like any other AAA game, only with an additional monthly fee after 30 days. Also, you get a FREEE character change potion upon your first month of subscription. I am not going to include things like the name change, transfers, and character change potions because those are entirely optional services. If you decide to play again after your first 30 days is up, then its $12-15 each month. You do NOT pay for the subscription until the second month. If you're just starting now, all you need to buy is the complete set, which is:įFXIV Complete Edition which contains the base game and all expansions for $60. ![]() I'll make sure to finish the free trial, though. I personally am not that kinda guy, so I don't think I'm gonna buy it, at least for now. I guess it would be worth the investment if you're one of the people that sinks thousands of hours into MMOs. I totally expected to be downvoted, but it's nice to see actual discussion and not just PMing me death threats or something. I'm sure it's more an issue of MMO pricing rather than the game, but as of right now, I don't think the game is worth $100+.Įdit: You guys make some solid points. The only things that you can buy in the game for real money are gold (premium currency) and premium (bonus fame and resources, paid monthly), both of which can be bought with non-premium currency for fairly cheap (it would take maybe a week of grinding to buy a month of premium).įrom what I've seen so far, this game is pretty amazing, but I'm not even sure if I'm going to buy it at the current price point. I paid a $30 flat fee with no monthly price. To contrast, I just bought the game Albion Online, which is another MMO that just recently launched around a week ago. On top of this, you have to pay for in-game content like weddings, and services like world transfers and character renames (Sorry if I'm wrong about prices and stuff, I just started playing the game a few days ago). So far, from what I've seen, you have to pay $20-30 for the base game, PLUS $12-15 per month, PLUS $50 for the expansions. ![]() I know there needs to be some sort of fee or monthly payment for MMOs so that they can keep their servers running, but the price to get into this game is kinda ridiculous. Sorry for the kind of dumb question, but I'm new to MMOs.
