The Journey - Is It Still Wanted?

Lucifer that argument can go both ways ya know, someone could come in and say "you elitist bunch make me sick" etc etc.

Gaming has changes a lot in the last 10 years, not only MMO's and RPG's but pretty much every genre, platformers barely exist anymore, everything is FPS and shooters and JRPG's are in a sorry state.

There are hundres of thousands of new casual players due to things like the Wii and WoW.

Add all this together with the cost of development these days and that companies like SE wanting to make money of course they are going to target the casual crowd just as WoW, Rift, Aion and every other MMO out there is trying to do.

Final Fantasy single player games are designed for casual play, it makes sense that an online title with the same name would follow in those footsteps, at least if they want it to appeal to the same crowd, yes FF11 didn't go that route but thats neither here nor there, from the very beginning of this games development it has been touted as being casual and solo friendly.
