Episode 179 - Pay and Prey

A year ago Yoshida was quoted as saying that it’s unlikely that FFXIV would go free-to-play, but that should the player base want it, it could be an option. A translated interview now has him saying ‘absolutely not’ to the very notion, despite his explanation and his game design pointing to the very concepts most free-to-play games are built upon. Aniero, Kallo and Juxta break it all down and get quite a few calls on the discussion as well.
