Square Enix Usurped EA and Zynga as the King of Micro-Transactions!

monies

You guessed it folks, Square destroyed all of our hope for what could be a great nostalgic trip by instituting a horrible string of microtransactions in to yet another game.  Kotaku did the math and found that the iOS game could end up costing you over $50 to play, that’s not even including “resurrection items” that you can purchase to extend play.  I just might end up playing this game anyway, since you know it’s Final Fantasy and all, but I’m sure that SquEnix could have found a better way to charge customers.  I have a hard time justifying paying $50+ for a mobile game since I can pay the same amount or less for a game with much better build quality, but that’s just my opinion.  What’s yours?  Are you for Microtransactions to boost the “free to play” movement or do you prefer a more traditional structure?
