Will FFXIV's failure be a key to it's success?

[Onidemon]

I agree, though it'll never be the next WoW. But even if they get reviews giving it a 10/10, there are still plenty of players jaded by the first experience that will either refuse to believe it, or just won't care to come back. I can see it slow building up to what FFXI had in it's hayday, I think there's enough potential in the game for that, but we're still a long ways away from that.

If we ever get to the game being a 10 it will be all up to SE;s skills in marketing and promoting to try and bring those people back.

Well, there's no reason why it can't be done.
