Square Enix Survey

lol @ the way question 29 is formatted. Whoever SE got to make this survey did a pretty garbage job on some of the question formatting.

Question 33, "I don't purchase digitally" is an option twice AND there's a separate option for "I don't LIKE purchasing digitally"
Question 47, "Electronic & Dance" is an option twice

This survey just gets worse and worse as I continue through it. Come on guys, get a freaking proofreader.

Done! Put quite a lot in. Hope they read it. :p

I told them to stop making crappy sci-fi style rpgs

As much as I see your point, this is in line with SE's quality of programming or providing content. xD

Even their survey gets wonderfull mater of conception... like being able to say 2 time you played MH:W in the last 30 days...

BTW i did have no question about FFXIV. Maybe because i said best series were nier/drakengard (from the Yoko Taro they dislike :-° )... But some about SE, general answer i did "stop doing shit, begin to respect your community as before, and magically your game will be better" ... i think it will be useless but who knows

My spidy-sense feels an excuse in the force.


They have over million+ players paying them monthly to play plus money from their other games and their greedstation....oops I mean mogstation. I'm sure they have resources, but with what we've gotten since SB launched, they must not be using that money we pay them. Unless they are spenting our money on cigarettes for you know who then I don't know wth they are doing with that cash.

Sent my survey in, but started getting a migraine halfway through and forgot to mention my comparison of account based vs character based when comparing to other mmos. Granted, someone's probably dropping my submission off the virtual table with how much I put in that field even without it. :)

I believe 600k was the last highest estimate for active (and thus, paying monthly) players.

Even at base prices and without including mogstation or retainers that would be $6m per month. I would love to know how much of that is going back into XIV for base costs like running the servers, how much for development, taxes, how much of it is going toward bonuses for upper management and how much into other games. We know they don't spend much on customer service because it's some of the worst in the industry.

But at 6m per month and $72m per year at minimum you think we would get something better than what we do. But I am not a dev so idk, it seems like a lot for what we get.

That survey took a lot longer than 15 minutes. If you have any opinions and want to be constructive about it, it will take awhile

So questions seems to changed based on your answers on the previous questions. They put a lot of effort into this huh
