gamrTV Weekly - The Imminent Death of Final Fantasy XIV

[grandm]

If it got a Japanese release a few felt it would do poorly, especially if it's heavily western style MMORPG but Japan actually like Bioware games, but in the same vein as "It's going to die"..nope, that's one of the differences I noticed in media between the nations, one is generally always doom and gloom for less popular games.

to be honest i was kinda trying to be sarcastic. it don't come across well in words i guess

SE goes for the WoW model

Wait, what? Subscriptions are the "WoW model?" Did I just misunderstand what you meant? I must have...

Subscriptions in this kind of progression structure is the 'WoW model'. Endgame centric, not much grind there either.

They're just magically going to keep subs/have constant growth, something that other MMO's the obvious one aside haven't managed to do using the same philosophy.

What's with all of the rabid fanboyism displayed in this community? It makes me want to forget all about this game, it's disgusting!

Your justifications and nonsense enabling bad decisions constantly is ruining something that had potential at one point..

You guys will A-OKAY ANYTHING APPARENTLY while bashing even worse than the people you are speaking out against.... Sick, sick, sick...

Some of you are so lost and blind, well, it's really sad. But what does me or my opinion matter to such people? I'm not going to pretend I hang out here 24/7, so I'll just leave for good, I suppose.

Enjoy??? (I wonder if you can actually...)

ha, i love this saying fanboy. i have said before, why would fanboy be an insult?
Q) are you a fan?
A)yes i'm a long time fan of final fantasy
Q)are you a boy
A)yes i am male
Q)are you a fanboy
A)i guess i am

but anyway now we cleared that up, the rest of ur post. what is it u don't like exactly? i see words like "ruining something that had potential" and it makes you "sick sick sick" what does exactly? playing a game full of ppl that like that game? or the fact that their going to charge u soon. ur post is a little unclear

this moron just goes on about everything and nothing, then when he FINALLY gets to his rant about FFXIV, he essentially states the game will die because it is pay 2 play, then has the audacity to state that Pay 2 play has it's place among MMOs, even notes that KOTOR is p2p. basically, he stated the game is garanteed to die because SE is going to start charging, completely ignoring the fact that FFXIV was always intended to be p2p, then reveals that he is not at all biased by showing how much he favors KOTOR, even praising it for having essentially the same subcription model.

In short: ignore the stupid talking head, he isn't even remotely unbiased in his opinions.

DO I think the game will die? not at all. First, anyone who bought the game is most likely well aware that the game was p2p, so this guy's opinon on the subject is pretty much irrelevant. Second, SE has pretty much revealed thier plans to recreate the game over the next year, that alone will keep people playing, since they can literally turn the reboot into a major in-game event. In addition, there have been many players who left, then returned after 1.19 was released, and based on my own observations, we have been getting an influx of new players regardless of the announcment of the end of the free play period. All three reasons have more credebility than some critic who demonstrated his complete lack of knowledge on the subject for all the interwebs to see.
