Final Fantasy 14 Online will soon arrive on Xbox Series X/S, and players were surprised yesterday to learn this version of the game will feature a currency known as FFXIV Coins, causing some confusion for a few folks.
According to Square Enix, FFXIV Coins are a required currency to pay for “service fees and optional item purchases” on the console, according to the official blog post. Optional items will likely include various in-game services and items.
Currently, we aren’t quite sure, but we presume “service fees” pertain to the game’s monthly subscription. Square has different subscription tiers available depending on which option you choose. For the Entry tier, you can purchase 30 days at a time for $12.99, but it restricts the number of characters you can have per physical data server. If you opt for the standard sub, you can purchase 30 days/$14.99, 90 days/$13.99, and 180 days/$12.99 worth of time.
