I hope this game doesn't become like FFXI

[Vesperia]

OP: "I suck at videogames, so please make this game really bad so I can play it without bursting into tears."

FFXI was and is a successful MMO. FFXIV is not. There's a reason for that.

FFXI would not be a successful MMO if released today. There's a reason for that.

Only reason it managed to maintain some vestige of a playerbase for so long was a lack of competition. Don't act like it gained subscriptions by any fair means.
