Make FFXIV more like FFXI and less like WoW

[Doo]

People use the word niche like it's a bad thing. There's plenty of great niche games. Can you imagine what would it be like if every developer decided to copy WoW or Call of Duty? Appealing to the masses is not always a good thing for gaming.

You would never get great games like the Persona series, Tales series, etc.

ARR isn't that game, and never will be. Accept it.

I do agree some of the greatest games are niche- Silent Hill 2, Dark/Demon's Souls, Shadow of the Colossus.

But being mainstream does not by any means make a game bad, Mario and Zelda are almost as mainstream as they get and they still make amazing games none the less. It's mostly about the developers, right now SE needs to cement some progress, but once it's down, I'll think they'll let Yoshi-P have more leash and let his creativity shine.
