@Peptaru I don't want to put XI down, I have a lot of nostalgic feeling for XI but we have to be real about things too. If Joe Gamer who has never played either was shopping SE titles and he had a choice between XI or XIV what one do you think he would pickup and be happier with?

all players are different but ffxi was my first mmo and it didn't scare me away or rage me away. i loved it, i played it like it was a rpg but with lots of players. if people are picking offline games they pick from mass amounts of genre's and in them genre's there tons of different options and styles. in mmo's it should be the same but it's really not at all, probably more the opposite. when you pick a rpg or any game offline or with online play in it, do you like to see on the description with over 20hours of gameplay or 100hours of game play and lots of repeatability in the description. i'd pick the 100hrs, fact i love games like fallout 3 cause i could play for 300hrs b4 i get bored of it. that is getting your monies worth in game play. i think that is the difference between ffxi and other newer mmo's ..it's life expectancy. they make em, they die out quick they turn them into f2p and in all that they are still making profits and pushing out a new mmo by time the other is dying, and the speed they push them out is only going to get faster i'm sure.
