Seeing what they made I'm really glad they didn't remake ff11 for ps3, because they obviously forgot why people liked the game and because of that decision ff11 still exists in a pure form today.

Broken record, Imo SE never really recovered from XIV, as the first major FF mainland title failure ever.......Now, selling 3 million copies is a failure due to XIV 1.0. Someone stated XIV 1.0 cost SE 400,000,000 USD to make.

Damn (Ron Simmons voice)

Avengers takes a lot of $hit as a costly failure, but Avengers did not start their Finacial woes, simply added to them. XIV ARR made SE a lot of money, but it is kind of a "Cut off your nose to spite your face" kind of deal. Or, counterproductive as a better term. The financial needle has not been moving for SE for about a decade.........

The XI and XIV debacle will go down as the biggest and most costly SE blunder imo, because it was the start of their troubles. Wonder if they do the same thing, knowing what they know now lol?
