    They were going to call ff11 just Final Fantasy Online until they reviewed the story and thought it was good enough for the main series. The same thing must of happened for 14, and honestly the story thus far is great. That's why it's part of the main numbered series.

    So, if it's numbered, it has a good enough story, i think the story itself is playing a major factor into why they are fixing it.

    Other then FF14 damaging the brand name of FF. gotta fix that.

    They titled it with a roman numeral because the entries with a roman numeral sell more than the spin-offs, and the success of a MMO is based on the number of subscribers it retains. Numbering them has nothing to do with whether they think the story is good enough or not, and everything to do with maximizing profits.

    When they number final fantasy is because it good enough to be part of the series so he pretty much right. Your right also but at the end they don't give a number to a final fantasy if it not good enough to be in the main series and the only reason they fixing it because you can't have FF15 without a ff14.

    <<<this lol, the main focus of anything done in this world is money. think money first then the good it does or story behind it second. then you have yourself reason and action. the reason i played ffxi was cause it was part of the series i never played a mmo b4 in my live till then. it sucked me in, ...i played it just like a rpg too. loged in and spend first day just running around city doing quests till i finally went outside to kill my first bunny ....ahhh good times. it will get alot of players who play final fantasy games to try it. at worse they get there box sales and only a few months of monthly payments. all good to the sceam of things. its like using the title of a movie as a part 2 and it totally different actors all the way to plot.
