Actually, yeah they do. The two ways to join Fat Chocobos is 1) party with BoB and/or Smit and get an invite or 2) you have to make an account at EoFF. Those are pretty much the only requirements for joining. If you haven't partied with smit or BoB then you have to make an account here. Moreover, there are high chances if you joined via #1, BoB will probably pressure you to make an account here. So saying someone doesn't have to join the forum is actually a gross inaccuracy.Originally Posted by Calliope
My comments regarding posting more in a forum dedicated to a game or other avenues was more towards the greater integration of both communities. Just like there is a push on the otherside for some to be more active here. And mostly those that did get nominated were the more active on EoFF as well. As for affordability, putting issues of subscription based MMORPG aside, you can buy the game (that comes with your first 30 days of sub) and another 30 days sub for the same price as any retail PS3 or PC game currently on the market. Moreover, with the recent sales due to Black Friday, the game was at some locations 10$! So if you are currently playing any "current" (PS3/Xbox 360/PC) games and paying full retail price for it, you can afford to play this game. So while I can understand people having a hard time affording the game (heck, money is tight for me right now), it is no more exclusive as those who can play FFXIII, FFXIII-2, or Lightning Returns.
