Is FFXIV up against the clock?

[TonyMontana]

There isnt a game released any time soon that will kill FFXIV. We have lost 90% of the people who purchased the game already. The remaining 10% most likely arent going anywhere... well until SE starts to charge a monthly fee that is.

I must say for one I have never been a huge fan of Diablo, I played it and i dont really like it. I have been a huge fan of the final fantasy series and I only stopped playing FFXI because of budget issues, and although FFXIV is currently f2p, once it goes p2p if I can only afford one p2p game it will undoubtably be FFXIV.

That facepalm Ascii needs a bit of work. Head like Kryten from Red Dwarf, swollen hand and someone chopped off his thumb.

3DS has already had a price drop because of poor sales.

And the NDS had a price drop within its first year too. To call a system a "flop" when it's still being supported and selling is wrong.

I gotta say, I wasn't expecting D3 to be mentionted here. D3 is a big game, but as others have stated, it's a completely different market.

As for the usual suspects, we need to look out since Tera has an amazing director. And we all know how good TOR is gonna be, since you know, Bioware is listening to it's players.

Tera is way way to overhyped for a currently failing game... it has yet to do good in any market, including the nation where it was originally designed for. They had good ideas but atm unless they do major overhauls I do not see it doing much better then XIV honestly.

TOR we have to see, it is being designed for solo players more or less with very dated graphics and mechanics already. Though I have no doubt the story line will be good, that is about as far as my interest is in it. I am not a starwars fan so no draw to the Jedi thing, and everything else looks very meh to me. Game is just not for the mmo gamer that wants group based content from everything I seen.

I honestly do not think ToR will dent FFXIV Either... only mmo that stands a decent shot is probably GW2 and even that will not kill it off.
