And this is going to be the tricky part for Square Enix.  How do you convince or justify to your players (who have been playing a 'free' game for 3-6 months or how ever long it takes) that it is now worth paying for?

They are, honestly, pretty good at that.

Depends just how addicted these people are.

If they change the paying system too while at it I will get the game. I played FFXI and was totally in love with that game .I have not been able to play this one. My husband and paypal have a difference of opinion I cannot resolve so I am not allowed to use paypal.

 

I really hope they succeed in this endeavour and I wish them the best.

I have to agree.

It's so funny, it's sad really...SE has become the clown of the genre.

Should man up and behave like WAR and AoC, no silly free trials, pay up or get out.

Kudos SE, that must have taken Balls of Steel...

I havn't played the game since the first free month, that was when it was dawning on me that the game is just completely broken...however, i've not lost hope that this game could become something really awesome in the future...

Good luck to Naoki Yoshida and team... Make it incredible!

WOW the game must be doing much much worse than I had thought initially.  To restructure and completely suspend payments and delay the console version is major.  At least they may finally get it and make a decent game in the future.  I have a feeling it will be next year this time before they get it right though so enjoy the f2p with no cash shop!

LOL.... FFXIV is still F2P. Just yesterday i told my LS that you don't have to pay money for this broken excuse for game anytime sooner. And they disagreed with me. Guess i was right.

Who could have thought that WOW could bring super power like USA to its knees?

Im picking on WoW btw because its the beast that made all of this possible

 And paradoxy i will prove you wrong...

F2P... Means Client is Free, no Subscription to Play game.

FFXIV... Pay for Client, Free 30 days of play (included in box price)  Currently Extended 90 Days and Counting....

 

if it was F2P then you could get client free and pay no sub

 

you opbviously need to review exactly what F2P means old chap

I always enjoy reading forum threads about this game. Player A quits game due to bugs and points out game is badly done, Players B, C, D all attack Player A and defend the game and use phrases such as, "Haters gunna hate."

 

Its been quite funny to watch from the outside :)

Oh, and grats to all the Player A's out there. You got slated for pointing out the obvious, as they say, he who laughs last an all that :)

Yeah its F2P for existing customers do i have to spell it out? Anyone who wants to buy it for them its B2P. I know the difference between F2P and B2P..CHAP!! doesn't change the fact that right now you don't have to pay a monthly fee for this mess.

They already did that and their free 30 day time (which came alongwith the box) is long gone. yeah it is awesome.

I like the spirit though, you always find something to argue about and defend your favorite MMO. ;p

I think you missed his point. And yes your definition of FTP is wrong.
