Tell me. If you were to be the person in a charge of an MMO, would you put a monthly fee or not? Take your time to think about your answer. Think about everything it represents. Don't just say yes or no. 

Simple. It keeps ingrates out.

Try out Final Fantasy VI. The story was good for its time, the villain is truly the best I have ever seen. Probably the best in the series.

Kefka is trully the sociopath, egomaniac, lusting for power-type villain, and yet he's no surnatural character : just a man with some mental trouble and really psychopathic ambitions.

And the characters are numerous. A must-try.
