I disagree that ffxiv tansmog is perfect as 400 space dresser and 15 glam plates that can only be changed in major cities is not enough but it a far cry from what destiny offering and the extra cost actually can be seen in the game while destiny has soon change in it story delivery nothing else has really evolved from d1 if anything it has devolved.

RumHamLvl9999により編集済み: 4/30/2021 1:13:48 AMYou're wrong. It's not 3x time the price. Right now, D2= base game is free, BL Digital Deluxe edition is $60-70, and you also have to buy Forsaken/ Shadow keep separately, so roughly hundred bucks to start "playing" now. FF14= Base game, plus first expansion is free, no subscription needed. Complete edition is $30-60, and includes a free 30 subscription. So where are you getting 3X the price? If you want to calculate the total costs from the beginning of each to now, that's not going to be representative of most players of both. We will need a detailed Power point presentation with all this information, completed in a timely manner and turned into the front desk by the end of class.

You have to take it as a value over time comparison, because one game has the vast majority of its cost OVER TIME. Yes, Destiny has a higher cost of entry, but maintaining is significantly cheaper. Ultimately it will come down to individual players preference over what mode they might prefer.

It's almost as if the moment anyone says anything that you don't understand or agree with you simply start REEEEING. Learn to take a bit of criticism, and discussions like this can actually be productive.

You’re doing the same thing. I did the calculation on what it costs to run both games since release, as many people have run with either franchise that long. (In my case, I’ve supported both destiny and FFxiv since release), but you just tell me I’m wrong because it doesn’t fit into your new light player narrative.

RumHamLvl9999により編集済み: 5/1/2021 4:07:57 AM"but you just tell me I’m wrong because it doesn’t fit into your new light player narrative." WRONG again. I bought D2 with COO and WM. Been playing since then, off and on. i bought ff14 last year, and have only bought 2 monthly subscriptions since then.
