How is a player base supposed to grow if the only people who know about a game are the ones who bought it at launch?
They released this amazing commercial in Japan, but we never saw it here. Why is that?

When I asked my local Gamestop if they were going to have a midnight release for FFXIV, I could tell they were trying not to laugh. There just wasn't enough demand.

Pretty much. Would you recommend this game to any of your friends while it's in this state? I know most of mine would leave and never come back.

Need to get it in shape before thinking of marketing it.

When it's good, then start playing the above commercial everywhere.
