Got my preorder of FF14 collectors..
And I find out you have to pay for a character?

What is this madness!?

I don't feel like googling, so what is the price per character? And what is the monthly fee, anyway?

its an mmo u re-tard, what mmo doesnt charge u to play.... its 12.95 + 3$ each additional character

The subscription fee I have no problem with, thats expected.

I've played a bunch of MMOs, and the ones I played allowed you to have atleast 4+chars for free, and maybe charge additional for more character slots.

This is madness kind sir.

Nope.
Most likely cuz you'll never need another char
Played ffxi for 3 years and ive only had 1 char the entire time

Pretty sure Final Fantasy has always charged that way.

You won't need another character.

They even provide you a mule character, which wasn't included in FFXI.

Wait, so is one included? I was under the impression that you have to pay extra for your first character too going based on his original post.

E: Extra as in in addition to the monthly fee.

You have 1 main character and 1 who will serve as a mule when you buy the game.

Every additional character costs +1$/month I think.

Wish I'd even received my CE. Fucking play.com, I've had terribad delays with preorders from there before, you'd have thought I'd have learnt my lesson by now. Irony is the majority of their goods are shipped from Jersey, and that's where I live. :/
