    Also, how come your numbers keep getting lower. First it was over 1mil, then it was just at 1mil, now it's lower than 1mil. They actually stated that it was over 1mil, but ultimately, who cares. The advertisement for FFXIV use to say over 2.4subs, not characters either. Maybe that's not where it's at now, maybe that's lower than it's at, but that's what it said, but still, who cares.
    There is a big difference between a fan and a "fanboy" A fanboy will protect their object of affection if you dare say anything against it. Whether it's true or not is irrelevant to them, it becomes personal if you say anything negative.

    The actual wording he used was nearly 1 million for all 3, so it's less than. Less or around both work though. Again this wasn't read from the financial reports by the media, it was a statement read out by the CEO to shareholders and the media.

    Three major MMO titles - Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn which began operation last August, Dragon Quest 10, which was launched in August 2012, and Final Fantasy 11, which has entered its thirteenth year of operation-maintain nearly 1,000,000 paying subscribers all together, and have established a solid revenue base," reads a statement from president and representative director Yosuke Matsuda.
    FFXIV never had millions of subscribers, it has 2.5 million registered accounts which was said to be subscribers by some people but it was never actual subscriber numbers and they never said it was (They implied some things but they never actually said it). Registered accounts/registered players is a pretty useless figure, almost every mmo you can mention has millions of them. That, and you have to keep in mind that registered accounts/sales figures of FFXIV was bloated due to the numbers applying to not only ARR but V1 too (and free trials and some betas). It's really not a useful number unless you plan to mislead.
