Latest Lodestone Census -- 3.4 MSQ, The Creator (Savage) clear rates

3.4 MSQ completion:

Quick notes:
1. Based on lodestone parsing for the Moenbryda minion.
2. ~190k 3.4 cleared players. JP servers lead again with 90k. NA and EU combine for around the same.
3. Roughly a 35% drop off from 3.3's MSQ clear count and a 50% overall drop off from 3.0's clear count. As per usual, this number is currently rather low and will rebound with a bit more time just like 3.3's numbers did with this census.

As always, NA clear %s lag behind JP servers and shows a clear difference in how we consume content.

And finally,

Alexander the Creator (Savage) clear rates:

Quick notes:
1. Based on the possession of the A12S mount so numbers will generally be lower than reality.
2. JP servers still demolish NA servers with their top raiding server almost having more clears than all NA and EU servers combined.
3. Clear %s 2 months after patch 3.4 have already surpassed Midas clear rates from 5 months after patch 3.2 for most servers (Midas clear rates snap shotted on 8/11 http://livedoor.blogimg.jp/luckybanc...c/ac6dbb99.png).

Well... thats what you mostly see when looking at a JRPG grinder...
Japan players like that heavy grinding!
It will share the same fate: players will play for about a year and the switch game.
At least, thats what i see with many JRPGames.

FFXIV is more of a western style MMO... there really isn't much of a JMMORPG gaming genre.

It also isn't particularly grindy -- especially for raiders who are clearing A12S.

only 1 mount drop/clear, so it would take 8 weeks of clears, for everyone in a static to get mount, so basing clears on that, is kind of -.-

It's the best we can do because it's the only publicly parse-able data we have.

Go Famfrit! Not quite the deadest server!

I didn't get any spambot party invites after this data came out, I wonder if it's related?

And if this census is correct, you've got another 185,094 people to ask.

Or, if you'd rather do it statistically, you'd still need to ask ~12,000 people to get a relatively good sample size with an acceptable margin of error.
500 is just too small a sample to have any meaning, especially if the sample is biased. I'm betting you only asked people you already knew on a single server.

According to the graphs 32 of 64 servers are JP and EU+NA combined also 32. So it doesn't look that different to me. % are higher on JP tho. Is the combined population on EU and NA servers that much higher?

This is really inaccurate going by number of mounts is equal to the number of people with clears. I have the mount because I was the first to win the roll on it but we haven't cleared 8 times so not everyone has it in my static. The clear rate is much higher then this would lead you to believe since it only counts mounts.

Well generally people don't usually do 0/1 chest last fight clears so those would be such a small number so for #of clears (vs people with clears) it is a decent metric since each clear 1 person gets a mount.
