24$ for a mount. Are you serious Square-Enix?

noxeven3466d ago

Weren't they selling a mount in wow for 20 plus bucks as well.

rdgneoz33466d ago

Though with some of the mounts and minions in wow, a portion of the sale goes to charities (or have in the past).

HeyDuhh3466d ago

Some WoW mounts are $25+.

joab7773466d ago

I hate it. It was the one mmo that was pure so to speak.

I get why they do it but cmon?

TuxedoMoon3466d ago

Will this be the first step to free to play?
Square is pretty stubborn so I'll guess no.

Isn't the whole point of pay to play to NOT have any sort of cash shop? I know it's just extra trinkets now, but if this is successful, they'll probably move on to having gachapons. A gacha in mmos is paying for a CHANCE to get a certain item(s) out of a pool of items. People love dressing up their characters, so square can easily bait people with cool clothes.

WoW has had a cash shop for quite some time, and it's pay to play as well. So long as they don't start adding anything that's not cosmetic, it's fine. If they ever do include things that will help you win, that's when I stop playing.

Paprika3466d ago

Pay to win or pay to stand out.

Win is stat boosting, extra gear slots that aid PvP, extra gil rates, exp etc

Stand out is vanity. If I want the mount to look cool, I'll buy it... if not so be it. This is optional gear and extras nothing even remotely following the pay to win, f2p model.

For the game we get, its still worth buying this stuff just to look cool!

Azurite3466d ago (Edited 3466d ago )

Doesn't say anything about items being for sale temporarily, as you'd assume when they sell ghost and pumpkin things.

Hipp03466d ago

I actually like the idea of a cash shop, it would only bother me if there were "pay to win" elements.

It's worked for WoW so I don't see why it can't work well for FFXIV.

Jubez1873466d ago

people wanted the cash shop. that's really all I can say about it. It's not SE being desperate. It's the playerbase wanting more and more

Lol, damn... At this point, they were better off keeping FF XIV away from Xbox. It has been nothing but obstacle, after obstacle.

gold_drake23d ago

wanted to say the exact same thjng.

VenomUK22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

What happens if you say things that used to get you banned on Twitter e.g. 'a man can't be a woman'?

RedDevils21d ago

*insert gift*
"Boys have a penis. Girls have a vagina."

DivineHand12522d ago

I'm not convinced this is the profanity filter. It doesn't make sense to censor words like class, harvest and dance. It seems to be a bug.

TheGamingHounds22d ago

Well, FF14 itself has some pretty awful chat censoring so Xbox being in the same boat isn't too farfetched

Eidolon22d ago

it censored the S T D in "harvest dance" and I bet the A S S in class. I know this because of Runescape

Aphrodia22d ago

Yeah these new fangled filters are going a bit too far. I have a game that filters "wtf". It's a censor for a self-censoring phrase. But I think overall it's how it should be. If you don't want certain language being used in your game by your player base, then it's up to you to filter/ censor the language you don't want. I can respect that. What I can't respect is when you say things that are not really offensive then you get ostracized for it.

shinoff218322d ago

What happened to just reporting people

NOMATICENIGMA22d ago

This is completely false, I tested this on my son's child account and mine, this is not Microsoft censoring they will censor swears but not the combination of letters I can prove this with a screenshot where I use all mentioned words in the article but do not know how to upload a picture.

NOMATICENIGMA22d ago

You can all continue your bashing, I was wrong someone explained to me this is a new policy, that's why it only happens for me in this brand new release. I'll try latter on ps to confirm but their response seemed informed wich leaves me rather worried for future censorship on my xbox.

CrimsonWing6922d ago

Geezus, Xbox, you get gifted gold and still f*ck things up.

NOMATICENIGMA22d ago

It's not xbox, go ahead start a chat with the youngest person on your friends list then say raid mass class sass said .... they do not censor any of these I even got away with R.Aids. sqaure on the other hand does.

CrimsonWing6922d ago

Does this affect PC and PS4/PS5 users, too? Or is it only happening on Xbox?
