The important part is at 11:20-ish, the rest of the video is cool too....I guess >.> I mean if robots and fat dudes are your thing.

I mean look at that, how can FFXIV even begin to compare to a game with such deep (and potentially horrifying) character creation potential? I think we've got our FFXIV killer right there.
Combined with the fact that Square Enix uses ClickandBuy as a payment processor, I'd be inclined to agree...

Honestly, I do not want to see XIV die, but the way it's been handled on the financial backend (payment processing options), and the development backend (Team Tanaka, etc) are conspiring to make FFXIV a very small, niche product that is unlikely to ever break even with the investment costs.
