I wonder if Square will cave in and drop the sub model on this like everyone else in the MMO industry is doing. I sure hope it does.

WoW's not dropping it anytime soon, but I would be surprised if their next MMO launches with one.
For those of you in the beta. Did you have to install the original FFXIV and then patch it or was it a complete download/install.
Because of their huge focus on consoles. I am assuming they will not drop the model anytime soon, if ever. The scrap it and redo is mainly to relaunch on the PS3 to better reviews. If this was solely a PC MMO, then I could easily seem them dropping it to a F2P or P2P model. As they have a few other games out there I believe that are PC only and setup like this *Wakfu and others that escape me*. They know the market for console MMOs is practically non existent, so there most likely is better money to be made from a subscription fee.
Plus it worked for FF11 ! Right?!

Say what you want about console games but EQOA was the shit. It could have been better with more ram and textures but it was fun as hell. Controller>WASD any day of the week for movement. I'm excited to see if they make an EQOA2 on the PS4 or of they just make EQ next dual platform. You guys are seriously underestimating how many people would play a game like that. Oh and well SOE would need to learn to advertise their shit too!
They've already stated multiple times that the game won't be f2p. If paying the $15 per month is really such a gigantic issue for you, just don't buy the game.
I love playing golf, but I don't want to pay for a membership at a nice golf course. So, rather than sit in the parking lot and rail at the clubhouse that there should be no membership fees and that I should be able to pay per round just like at a public course, I just go play at a fucking public course.
Man, I wish I could embrace this, seriously. I think I was one of the, like four people in FFXI that WASD'd it. I blame EQ.
WASD? FFXI was numpad hell to control everything. Took forever to get used to.

I know. What was it, + or may enter on the numpad to pull up the context menu, the the left/right/up/down arrows? I lived under powerlines back then, what can I say?

Was it really numpad? Fuck it's been so long I have no idea how I was playing FFXI, other than the menus were clunky as fuck and the pace was like one action every 6secs. Still was fun, I remember chain pulling in some green gooey cocoon place as a Thief, I'd leave half way into the fight to go pull the next mob cause there were like 20 other groups in the area also pulling and we wanted to keep the xp bonus rolling. Also remember playing a Red Mage and having to keep the mana regen buff shit rolling on everyone or whatever. It was repetitive as fuck but somehow fun. I don't think I've grinded as much as I did in FFXI, nor enjoyed it as much as I did back then, not sure why, especially since it was my first PvE mmo so it was a complete change from UO and AC.
You were a beast then. My left hand was too god damn busy spaming the Alt+ / Ctrl + skills and macros non stop (non stop being a relative term in FFXI).
Nah, I played using a controller because the keyboard controls were janky as hell. I just wanted to clarify that the movement controls weren't strictly numpad only.
FFXI's controls were perfect. Change that shit to a compact keyboard and throw away your mouse. They were hard to get used, but once you did they worked flawlessly for that game.
