Predictions for future of FFXIV

[Vesperia]

I also predict that the Job system makes the Class System redundant as every class will begin to funnel people into specific jobs. For example, there will be no option to play a Thaumaturge-Paladin. It will be Gladiator-Paladin only. Which in other words means it will be Paladin-Paladin only. Which means there will be no Gladiator anymore. Everything about the original armory system will be made redundant.

To be more specific, this is what the FFXI vets that were all-in on FFXIV demanded.. long after FFXIV's 600,000 other players left.

Which is sad, because they should go back to XI and not try to make this XI-2. /nod

Ya cause this game definitely needs more people leaving. I'm sure 500,000 people left this game for other reasons because god knows the armory system really makes you feel important in this game. Not to mention the plethora of other problems that drove people away, i mean you might aswell just tell another chunk to leave what would it hurt?

Over 2.5 million people played FFXI at it's peak, >30k people play this game. Do you honestly not see anything wrong with this?

ffxi capped at 640,000 subs at its peak... it no where near reached 2.5million at any 1 point. Only mmo to ever reach those numbers is WoW.

Broad term, but it's obviously implied(i hope) that you meant to not count certain browser or asian games in your analysis.

No i remember SE posting that 11 hit a mil subs @ one point
