Anyone get this yet? I was wondering if it's worth the $12.99/ month online fee. The graphics look hot as it requires some good graphics on your comp.

I won't be buying Final Fantasy XIV...in my opinion, online gaming should be free.

I've heard only bad things about FFXIV so far.

I agree with Morph, though, I don't agree with subscriptions on video games. It causes pressure to play it so you don't feel like you're wasting money, and generally there are alternative to charging people that much money to play.

Look at Guild Wars 2 for instance. It's going to be an open persistent world like WoW and FF14, yet is charging no monthly fees. I'd wait for that.

Exactly. I don't want to be forced to play a game every moment I possibly can simply because it's what I've subscribed to and paid for. No, it should be free, fair enough a small fee for extra downloadable content, but to actually need to pay to play is ridiculous. Like it isn't enough that the game was purchased in the first place.

I agree with you. After about 4 months you've paid again for what you paid for the game to begin with. Playstation should maybe do something like XBox does with their XBox Live.
