I would have to say "why not?" For this. I've not come close to meeting the character limit since I can only sensibly juggle a few characters at a time but if people can have more than 8 I don't see why it would be an issue. Guild Wars has extra paid for character slots and they function just fine.Â
In fact, FFXIV could really take a leaf out of GW book and put the cash shop in-game too! It's so inconvenient to have to log out and log in every rim I Fantasia and name change. You could also preview the outfits and stuff. But I digress. The point is, other games have this feature and it works.Â
The only issue is housing, which is ridiculous as it is. They need to fix this, perhaps by instancing it so you might have several versions of the same ward. So ward 1a, 1b, 1c and so on and so forth. I am personally not too bothered about having a personal house now that apartments are coming. I would never be able to put enough effort into decorating the darn place for starters. But an apartment is manageable and if they do things right I am more than happy with that.
