Okay, I appoliogize for making another thread. This will be my last but I have a lot of questions I guess. I have learned that compulsively buying MMO's has been a poor choice.
I have been reading on and on about why people loathe the game. However, there must, obviously, be people who love the game. What are these reasons? I know a lot of people are die hard FF fans, but it takes much more than that to sell a game.
Why do people enjoy playing FFXIV?
Personal tastes, often combined with an individuals intent to be themselves.
There's a game I occasionally play that is significantly graphically inferior to most others. It has more than a few issues, has a cash shop that I find unacceptably expensive, and isn't much into being new player friendly. Although not exactly busy, it is never dead. There's a bunch who play it, enjoy it... perhaps even live in it.
Maybe those people are what is commonly referred to as fanboy. Could be. I can tell you that they love THEIR game, and come hell or high water... they're not going to budge.
I think the same thing happens here. The more the haters yell and scream, the more the other side digs in and has absolutely no intent to change.
no one really cares if a few people play the game. No factual indicator will ever allow SE to proclaim ffxiv a success, and that's all that is important to me, because crap like this should not be encouraged.
If the game keeps selling copies and people keep subscribing then they can easily call the game a success no matter how you feel about it
No factual indicators. I worded it very carefully because companies can say what they want, but in no way would any proclamation be factual.
Sales and subscriptions are the only indicator most companies care about; if the sales and subscriptions stay up then they have all the factual indicators they need.
Not to mention that if they get allot of the kinks worked out before the PS3 launch then we might see allot more favorable reviews.

WEll, I bought it. I see why people like the game and don't like the game. I like it. For many reasons. Especially becuasse how different it is. The game has many same MMO desings, but they went about it a different way that, to me, are a big relief from the monotiny that is out there. This is just my opinion. There are many things thata do need to be fixed, but there is so much potential in this game. Curious to see what it will be. Thanks for all the replies. Helped me a lot..
