FFXIV is not a failure, never was.

no ffxiv had rides, just not the ones ppl liked. Big difference.
There is content, just nothing ppl like atm. Ppl expected 8 years of content. Ppl all over over speculated instead of doing wait and see. Ppl chose to ignore the heafty server stability issues which did cause a good portion of what they wanted to release put on hold. Alot of ppl gave this game a 7/10 sorry but imo thats not fail. That is a work in progress. And unlike single player games. MMO are always a work in progress. Just ffxiv is a bit slower for reasons. If this game was as bad as ppl say, then no one woulda bought it after beta. You all had a mnth or so playing with the current battle system. And SE even said why the beta issues couldn't get fixed or changes ppl asked for.

MMo are never finished products we all always get patechs and major updates, bugs will happen and get fixed. Stuff will always get tweeked.

And before you said they had 8 years of ffxi, they started making ffxiv after the 3rd year of ffxi.

Ppl expected 8 years of content.

No, people just expected a decent amount of content. I mean, look at Rift, an MMO which is even younger than FFXIV, and already has more content today than this game is likely to have within the next year.

Also, I have to say that the argument that MMOs are never truly "finished" is a bad way to look at things. Yes, MMOs continually get more and more content added on top of the core game, but at the same time there is a point at which the core game can be called a completed product, and the game should not be released before that point.

You know...rift is a clone of many...thats not a very good uh, example.
