I'm very happy the see the magazine as just a precursor to see how Square Enix wants to move this information quickly. Square Enix is all about passing a lot of information in a productive manner.
I'm not sure if FFXIV will surpass WoW, but all I know is that it was be the second best MMORPG of all time. I'm so happy Square has put so much time and effort in order to create such epic fantasy. I know working on this game for 6 years is phenomenal.

Sad thing about WoW is its merely a copy-paste MMO in both story and gameplay. Through clever marketing and some lies, they managed to get to the top and stay there. FFXIV will be the better game, though probably nowhere near as successful as World of Warcraft. WoW is like Rome, whereas Final Fantasy XIV will be like Sparta in comparison.

Truthfully, its not about what the mass public thinks but its more about what the individual who plays the game thinks. Lets face it, WoW is dumbing down to accomodate for those who have a few hours to play a day. With that strategy people with less time (the overwhelming majority of all gamers) will play WoW as opposed to games with steeper time requirements. Even if FFXIV doesn't compete with WoW in terms of subscribers I definitely think it'll be one of the best MMOs to come, it may even be the best one created.
Thanks for posting up the info... I don't really like the way Tarutaru look in FFXIV from those pictures. I think they're fugly and that's what I always played in FFXI.
FFXIV Taru look basically like FFXI Taru + Cactur.

WoW set some HUGE milestones that I doubt will be surpassed by anyone besides themselves. Having said that, I'm glad that FFXIV isn't going to be a WoW clone, but actually trying to do something vastly different.
I'd rather be part of a community with a million quality players, than a community with 12 million donkeys. I never played wow, but I watched my little brother play for a few years. /no thanks bigger is not better
Exactly, we just need at least the amount of subscribers to make the game profitable for the company to continue developing for. And as long as the servers are populated enough then it doesn't really matter how many subs the game has.
Well, WoW is WoW -- FFXIV will not have 12 million subscribers. Maybe one million and that's more than enough
WoW has something like 5 million subs after they lost china. :P As long as the community of FFXIV is respectable I don't care how many people subscribe.

QFT. As long as the gameplay is good, and the community excellent, Im not really a stickler for how many people play FFXIV.

Yeah, I agree. Actually i would not perfer they have the success of WoW after seeing what happened to WoW post year one. Draws in too many tools and the success goes to the companies head and makes them stop trying.

I could tell from what Tanaka told me, that the story / lore of FFXIV will be quite grand. Can't wait.

Indeed, still having the "balls" to keep an MMO somewhat challenging is rare these days. At least for the new generation of MMORPG's.

Thankfully they did say that they would avoid copying other MMO's however one should read that as "Avoid copying if possible".
Welcome to the internet were common sense is not so common...unless its on Final Fantasy XIV Core
Be sure to check out teh Core news on Twitter and Facebook as well as the main site
Yes, I like that FFXIV won't be too mianstream. Mainstream usually becomes the opposite of good after awhile.. due to how many it has to cater to
