I am looking forward to playing FFIV: The After Years. Heard so many bad things but worth a try if part of apple arcade.

Final fantasy iv flashbacks…

It took a few tries to get into it. Once you play for a while you realize how much freedom you really have at the start and can make cash and advance pretty easily. I fell in love with the mines. Worked really well since the more you mine the more materials you get to automate farming.

Also if you have someone to coop with do it. Having multiple players makes things fun and easier.

The wiki for the game is amazing and helps a lot starting out.

The issue is that you lose access to that free trial if you sub even for a month.

They already have a F2P model with the free trial. Allowing that or a limited access model for those who give up their subscription would be a nice option. Even a low-scale sub.

The game already had tons of micro-transactions (some mounts cost more than 2 months of a subscription). There’s also a ton of nonsense currencies.

Best part of the game is the community and the world.

I agree. If this game was F2P I would love it. It sucks that you have to buy a subscription and pay for the expansions.

I miss the world but hate the fact that I have to pay for my time. If I have to work long or other stuff comes up that month it feels like a waste.

Plus the subscription is too expensive for what it offers. For $13 you can get a lot of great games on sale and a big selection of indie titles, feels like a better investment.

Cheers to him.

Thank you for listening.

Edit: Looks like the game is still on GOG without PSN requirment.
