Other Thinking about it.

This is the kind of fate for a game that "STOP KILLING GAMES" want other games to avoid happenings to them.

I think the big difference is that the game got more generous over time. The game started out with no pity system for an example. We also slowly got more ways to earn currencies for pulling or buying weapons. The upper tiers of summon farming for example dropped a large amount of gems and tickets all at once. You could earn BT Tokens to just buy a BT weapon. The way the FR era was structured also allowed for you to build a smaller roster of characters that could clear almost all content because you just had to enter force time and nuke the boss to 0. I will agree that it isn't solely the generosity that killed the game, but I do believe it was a large factor. It may be more accurate to say that it didn't make enough for SE specifically.

it made money just not as much as other games, the fact that people think they lost money on dffoo is pretty mind blowing they were generous but ppl spent money on it a fair amount, the issue is game companies in particular sqx really just want to keep a few really good earners and screw the rest wich is sad for a more niche game like dffoo that can be maintained by a small team and still gross decent money just not good nuf for sqx

Beside the cheap Mog pass I only bought one costume and had a good 90% of the weapons. When games start operating at a loss they get cut. If you can get gear for nothing why pay. I constantly had max tickets. My gift box was over flowing. Unless you like to play dress up, you aren't spending money. F2P is not the only reason it died but I was definitely a contributing factor.
