He wants it to be synonymous with "YOU NEED TO PLAN TO WIN THIS" not "Oh lets get a bunch of people together to do this". (Again, my understanding of the translation only. Therefore it is COMPLETELY SPECULATION)
Theoretically, with this description however we could have single player 'raid' content, which I am more than okay with. (Think Maat)
You do understand that FFXIV would never have 10-15mil players? they even know that why should they work on getting wow players then at the end only get 1-5% of wow players staying in ffxiv? then when FFXI stop where would all the ffxi players go to? ffxiv? am i right or wrong here? then they join ffxiv and they go wait a sec it feel like wow am out fuck this. Then SE would have to remake the game to feel more like final fantasy. This is what happen with tanaka he was trying to make it feel more western by doing this he fail and now ff fans want a final fantasy game not a wow game.

SE i hope you understand matter what you do at the end we want a final fantasy game not a dam wow clone.
