Highly Notorious Monsters

A lot of the anti hnm / competition attitudes im seeing are exactly one of the biggest contributers to 1.0 failing.

Keep telling yourself that because we all know thats not the truth.

I won't bother explaining what was the case of its failure because I'm pretty sure you know as well as the rest of us that the game was a stinking turd when first released.

Sephrick acts like he's in the majority, I don't see that here, this thread seems split down the middle. If it's split down the middle of a game where the hard core gamers have quit and have only casual players left that should tell you something.

How have all the hardcore players quit, you would have to be pretty hardcore to stick around on this game if you ask me, there seem to be plenty of "I wish this was FF11" threads also, which suggests to me there are still plenty of hardcore playing this game.

Many of the game's failures are because of casual players wanting to be on equal ground with other players. It's why we had no AH, some idiots wanted a barter system because apparently they couldn't handle XI's AH. The way nms are now is another failure because of those people.

What the what !!

We weren't even asked what market system we wanted, so lets not fool ourself like any of us made or had the choice.

The idiot who wanted the barter system was Tanaka for what its worth.

SE should have realized their user base was full of hard core players, instead they turned on us and look where it got them.

Yea because the millions of people who buy offline Final Fantasy games are all hardcore.

The barter system was a fan idea, I recall it being a thread on one of their sites asking for feedback while XIV was still in development, it got a lot of support and then there it is.

@Antipika
It's sad to see, but XI had a huge hardcore base that shouldn't be ignored. My question is who are the subscribers for those top games? WoW is like 90% american, I've said many times they aren't going to go for a jrpg even if it's a better game. It's like expecting a 360 game to sell big in japan. And even if it did have appeal, you can't out do a game that earns 1 billion+ a year, that's like trying to take over microsoft.

If they have 1,000,000mil+ casual japense gamers they can lure in that's one thing but I don't see it. Just because they sell 6 million copies for XIII doesn't mean they'll get close to that for an online title that requires a subscription.
