No trailer at E3 LOL @ SE

Never said it wasn't successful. It just didn't reach to the point people expected it to, everyone thought this would be a WoW killer and it got no where near that. It reaches the amount of players it needs to keep the game running and making a profit, which does technically make it successful. Rift, SW:TOR, and Aion were all believed to be WoW killers, which in my opinion, there is no such thing as a WoW killer.

Very much agree, it does have its own niche fans however. It's kinda like LoL's situation and how people thinks dota2 will kill LoL's population which didn't happens, it has it's own fans and will still stands for a long time despite dota2's release.

Reading these forums you'd have to consider a niche market as failing as well.

"XI/XIV are doomed to a niche market rather than becoming successful"...seen that said quite a lot.

They are kinda failing the niche audiences as well, got to be delusional to says otherwise. Hello Kitty online has more players than us. Most of us here are clinging to the hope of v2.0, really really small minority enjoys the game currently.

Poster assumes his point of view is the 'Niche' sought after.

There are many 'Niches' out there. FFXIV should not be perusing the FFXI niche, but rather carving its own by creating it's own attractive gameplay.

Note, attractive gameplay does not mean copy-pasta the same mechanics that alienated potential FFXI members that were lost due to the same mechanics FFXI fans want implemented here.
