Predictions for future of FFXIV

[Xeno]

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

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.

In April 2009, Square Enix announced that the total number of active characters exceeded 2 million for the first time.

Edit: Characters not subs. Couldn't find the 1 million sub link.

Summer 2012, SE announces that they will no longer try to hide the fact that FFXIV was intended to be a catgirl play and costume making simulation.

It was more than just 1 million according to SquareEnix. Active subscriptions at that.

Wrong FFXI never hit the 1 million subscription mark, they did hit the 2 million character created one tho, but who cares about that anyways lol
