But even if FFXIV was still free to play, I don't think that would change anything.

Ultimately, it comes down to the 2.0 relaunch no matter what. Either that's going to be good enough for FFXIV to claim the necessary following, or it will perish. We've known this for some time now.
pre orders dont mean anything

DCU had over 1mil pre orders and it just went f2p cuz it sucked


also NDA is funny, ive been breaking it for a year, i wont lie, star wars sucks as an mmo, and anyone who looks at it and isnt such a die hard star wars fan they arent blind can see it


finaly, the 2 games are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GENRES

star wars fans and final fantasy type fans are 2 completely different types of people

people wanting a sci fi mmo arent gonna care about fantasy mmos and so on
