Server Population on the Rise

[Seif]

Do you think there's any hope for the PC crowd being a substantial precentage of the XIV community in the future?
PS3 release will bring a few console players but does anyone think PC players will return/start playing around that time also?

I wonder if this game's population will be the opposite of XI, PsU MMOs where the majority of the players were PC players and only a small fraction played those games on XBOX (and even a smaller fraction on the ps2).

there a lot of PS2 and Xbox players reason why ffxi is failing is due to the ps2 users not wanting to switch over to PC. I mean any cheap Computer can run it lol. My 64MB pc run the game on pretty high setting without issue.

But does not matter if 90% of the player base is pc or ps3 i don't see how that would matter tho.

I just hope the reason for this division in those games isn't the fact that console players just aren't that likely to play an MMO. In any case I hope they advertise the PC version more when they feel the time is right. (definitely not now though)

PS3 launch will be the only time they get a good chance to push the game (On all available platforms).

Well in XI your PS2 needed an add-on to even be able to play the game and for xBox you had to pay the $10 per month for xBox Live Gold and then the $10 or $12 or whatever per month for the FFXI account if you wanted one character, so it was more expensive than other means. The PC requirements are incredibly low though so it was easy to run. Also going through all that PlayOnline crap was a real bitch on the xBox.
