PS4 trailer

[Laf]

That's the good part thing about ARR. There are no investors. It's all SE's money funding this game. No investors to please, only the players

and lets forget that SE itself do have investors and need to show good results to them... Good/bad results or even rumours effect their stock prices too.

Think you miss understand that statement by SE, the basically stated that FFXIV broke the 650k accounts that FFXI held not that it's at 650k.

actually broke 600K, not 650K... 600-700k were estimates by 3rd parties, so often just ~650K used. And if you want imply that subs numbers can be much higher... it's very unlikely, otherwise SE would be boasting about it, it would be mentioned in their latest financial report and servers would be full like after launch/first month.
