Is FFXIV up against the clock?

Yeah why they're doing everything in regards of the PS3 version. The same scenario happened with FFXI:

It originally released on the PS2, people loved/hated it, then it got a PC ports which brought in a lot more people who loved or hated it then eventually it got a 360 release which again brought in a lot more people who loved or hated, but in the end people choose the PC platform because playing on a console is all well and good, but playing on the PC you can enhance certain aspects (especially graphically.)

So if it does well for the PS3 launch, you'll also see an increase in PC players no matter the MMO that's out. TERA has been released for half a yearish now and a JP beta and release is happening -- Everyone has the ability to play it (whether you understand the languages or not) but it failed in Korea and is constantly in a downward spiral, so honestly, no MMO kills another, it's usually the MMO itself that kill it or the players and their mass exoduses that does nothing but ruin potentially good games.

We'll have a much better community then.

What community? this game doesn't have one, if you think it's going get any better when people leave then you're just another delusional fanboy clinging onto what little hope is left for this game.

I don't mind the game, but the snail pace development and weak content that we got isn't going to keep me interested forever. Yeh 1.9 and 2.0 are coming with more content maybe before the year ends.

Bring on the hate whiteknights.

"/cry I have no friends on my server."

That's all I hear from your post. Selbina has an awesome community.

I find it funny you seem to hate this game so much yet continue to hang around the forum trying to act like a internet tough guy and picking fights with "whiteknights" lol. As Murugan said, some servers have nice communities and it's well known in-game, especially with an active linkshell is a lot better than the forums (given posts like this, it's no wonder.)

Ahaha looks like upset some fanboys.

"/cry I have no friends on my server."

That's all I hear from your post. Selbina has an awesome community. "

I'm talking about 50 - 100 people community not 10 people from a linkshell.

"I find it funny you seem to hate this game so much yet continue to hang around the forum trying to act like a internet tough guy and picking fights with "whiteknights"."

Ok i said i don't mind the game people at ffxivcore most like people who have trouble reading. I'm not acting tough, unless you think what i said was, then please don't step outside people talk alot tougher in the real world.

"As Murugan said, some servers have nice communities and it's well known in-game, especially with an active linkshell is a lot better than the forums (given posts like this, it's no wonder.) "

Like i said i don't call 10 people a community.

You mean the 50-100 people on my friend's list. Separate from the 60 people in my social LS, and the 30 people in my endgame shell?

Oh and what about the at least 25 new people I have met every week through pick up groups since 1.18. Those people too? Are you talking about those people? I'm sorry you (apparently) lack social skills, this game has an awesome community if you ever find the courage to come out of your shell and actually engage it.

Getting all defensive again, what is with you kids when some post a diffrent opinion you get all emo and rage. You have have 215 active people you talk to? Well i think thats more then the population on Trabia.

So, what, we're putting it up against non MMO's now?

I wouldn't resort to calling other people kids when you yourself can make posts like:

One of the linkshell I'm in has 45 active members now and this is with my new character, I haven't logged into my old one on a different server to see how that one is faring. Ironically, a group of people no matter the size is called a community.

aye, how do we go from saying lack of community as a statement for ...the population is just empty, to talking bout how many friends we have. there really is no community, the servers are empty no matter how many friends u have, that many people are the blunt of active players in a server. the world can blow up tomorrow and u gonna call your 1 family that survived a community?

though i don't think d3 will kill this game, like others mentioned this game will die because of itself and has been on a timer since there failed launch, not the timer given to them by the big boys that gave them money and forced them to launch early, so hopefully all these companies making games learn a little something ...that you shouldn't just launch when u know your not well and ready to.

gw2,tera,d3,fallout online,dark millenium ....all games i want to play lol, and yeah it will take just one releasing for me to go play it, but i play lots of hours a day, so it won't effect my gameplay in ffxiv much, i'll still log in a little every day or few times a week, not really much left for me, 50dom,dow, and the crafts i want are all almost at where they should be, only look forward to getting a few pieces of dungeon gear left and dol to 50, then i wouldn't really log in much anyway. but other people that is a diff question.

i think this game will bounce back, only reason i'm still here. it has potential, but yeah time is running out. next time se won't try spending a year saving face and just tell there investors to there face to booger off and wait till launch is ready.
