Whats the new Dev teams time limit?

They wont shut it down ... never.
The reason for it is simple ... it has a main number. If FINAL FANTASY XIV dies you can be sure it is the end of the series. It just doesnt look good if a main numbered title dies.

Are you really that sure? I dont think the # means they will loose money on the game for prides sake, they are a business first and foremost.

Yeah i am sure. Because they want to keep the name FINAL FANTASY for future profit. They would loose more money in the future for scrapping it than holding it alive on the bare minimum. How many profitable games have they actually released that they made themselfes (not published) that did not have the name FINAL FANTASY on it in some way?

Not many, but loosing 1 FF name will not suddenly get people to stop buying their games, especially if they make more that are still big hits...after this many games and years, they have a fanbase that will buy almost anything with the name in it.

Also FFXI wont be around forever, liek every MMO it will one day shut down, so that alone says your incorrect.
