Final Fantasy XIV: Revisited

CheatCC - More than a year after its release, Final Fantasy XIV is worth paying for. Or at least, Square Enix thinks it is; as of January 6, the company will charge a $10 monthly fee to play. Is the new and improved FFXIV worth it? I fired up my old account one last time to find out.

As a FF fan and veteran of FFXI(Fenrir server) I say make the PS3 version free-to-play or GTFO!

Its Square Enix. They will never let the PS3 version be free after having lost so much money as a result of a crap start to the PC version.

I dont even think there will be a ps3 version. Whats the point?

[Tdmd]

As much as I agree with you (and I do. Entirely), I'd still pay for it at least for a few months just so I could check it out. That is, if the fees kept on $10 off course. Higher than that, I'll sadly miss it.
Apart from all the bad press, I still can't wait to see how the ps3 version will be like.

I hear ya we NEED a full MMO on ps3, white knight chronicles is too shallow.....not commenting on Dark Souls cause I'll get beheaded lol.

What is DCUO?

[rdgneoz3]

DCUO had a lot of potential. However, they couldn't keep up with the regular updates the initially promised, as well as the voice chat being buggy for a long time and the auction house taking a hell of a lot longer to come out then they had said originally. Its still fun to play once in a while (especially since its now free-to-play), but the hopes and potential it originally had died off.

I'm waiting for the 2.0 update before giving it a go again. I tried it out briefly during the summer and still found the game frustrating to deal with.

However, no way will I pay a monthly fee of $10 for it. Let alone the price hike they will do when 2.0 comes out.

Is Square crazy?

I still don't know why they haven't made a Blitzball Online expansion for this game. It's not enough to warrant a monthly fee but I'm sure it will draw more people in....

I think it will go the way of free to play with microtransactions cause that is a model that sony is looking at and already put in place with free realms and dcuo

After reading to this point:

"If you want to switch classes, all you have to do is buy a new item (a saw for a carpenter, for example) and equip it to your main hand. Everything you do builds both a class level and your overall level."

I stopped reading.... as they fixed this months ago.... he obviously didnt play the game recently, and just looked up some of the changes online.
