How many people play FFXIV?

[Blarp]

A steady seller ? A STEADY SELLER ? 1 year and some months later, still not sold 1million copy's.

For reference SWTOR has sold almost a million NA pre-orders five weeks from launch. They logged over a million tester hours in a single weekend.

lol just in the 3day stress test, i loged into my first server with a 550 person wait que, then when logging back in cause this was one of the way over populated servers, i was at a 5500 person wait que. i ended up rerolling to a empterier server and it didn't have que's but it was packed with players, every inch of every zone had players running around and 0 problems getting groups, even though the game is something u can pretty much solo. the 4man stuff was fun but way easy. non the less the game will be very fun for something to do while this game shapes up/or dies off without getting my money.lol.

Thank god! This place will be that much better while you play WoW in space.

At least I'll have a mailbox. Oh, and content.

You forget: a good UI, the ability to use right click on anything you want to interact with the world, full voice acting, solo AND group friendly content, a protagonist that isn't silent and has speech options, text speech that isn't written like Shakespearean language, quick and snappy responses to actions, more players...

The UI is no better, more responsive yes, but no better. How do you right click with a controller? Voice acting? This is something people like? I always thought it was a negative...

So in other words, SW is for illiterate, mouse onry space nerds? I'll pass thanks.

I'm not defending XIV, it sucks atm and will continue to do so until 2.0 servers. Just saying, SW is still WoW in space.

I'm guessing you haven't played it. Beta keys are all over the place for the next weekend test. Try it... preferably for more than five minutes.

Seriously, even EQ UI is better than FFXIV UI, lets just be honest, FFXIV UI is horrible, the targeting is horrible, as for the voice acting being a negative... Why ? If you dont like it, you have the option of not having them :/

Also i'm not defending Swotor, but it is not a wow clone, just because it has similar graphics, i mean this game is not a FFXI clone, FFXI is a decent game, this one is just garbage :/

i only played wow for 2 months so i don't think that would be a problem for me(new), the bigger thing is population and content. and while u keep thinking the game will be better without me but i would of been one of the players that stayed for 5+ years like i did in ffxi. so i'd say your wishing gonna bit you in the butt when this game becomes desolate and void of real players and your only hope is 2.0 that still has a very good chance of flopping 6months later. guess it is better without, so that it gets none of my attention so double edge says you and your comments on the threads will create a 2.0 that no one will play all over again. /cheer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U70oaQR6tKE

also for those saying there servers are high population then you must of never played another mmo at launch time or least not a good one, if you even played ffxi at launch then you know what a real population looks like. the highest pop server combined with the second highest still probably not even close.

If that means I'll never have to read a post from you again? /hurray.

What the meaning behind a large population in SWTOR? That you can rest easy that you picked the "right" MMO? that you'll have an active chat box while you SOLO your way through the game? Congrats!

Ver 2.0 might not recover FFXIV, but at least we won't have to suffer any more of you, in our future.
