FF was Hironobu Sakaguchi's baby and they forced his resignation a long time ago, SE's management doesn't give a crap about FF unless it makes them obscene amounts of money.

I am pretty sure SE's management teams understands FF is a huge staple to SE, and brings a ton of loyal/hardcore fans who will almost buy anything they throw at them.. if FF14 didnt have Final Fantasy in it.. I wouldn't be playing it.. I play it cause FF is SE's pride and joy and I know they will do whatever it takes to have it up to par amongst competing mmo's...

Oh my god of course is that why FFXIV is still here after it was was making huge losses while we werent paying, it all makes sense now how could I have been so stupid.

/sarcasm off

If they just wanted obscene amounts of mone they would have pulled the plug DEC 2010 latest, you do realise it will take atleast 4 years from 2.0 to make 1 yen from FFXIV dont you, and thats if 2.0 is a huge success.

Your comment made my IQ drop atleast 10 points.

It shows that Square Enix gives a damn about the Final Fantasy series no matter how you look at it. If not like some said they would have dropped it a long time ago.

Some complain there is so much to fix and most have valid points but there is a reason why we stick around because we know Square Enix will do all it can to make things right unlike other gaming companies not to menton names.

Yeah, at least SE cares, every patch makes this game better. I'm sure by 2.0 it will thrive on its own.

Yeah I'm sure you had 10 to lose

I have no doubt the programmers care, in fact I know THEY do, but management is only a few steps away from doing what EA games does. How are you guys liking the 3$ skin with 13-2?

And they only kept 14 going because it still can be a profit, otherwise it's just throwing their whole investment out the window. It also hurts future sales if you have a failed project like this in your face, people would reference 14 every time somebody had news about 15, but if they manage to salvage it then it won't hurt it as much.
