State of FFXIV as of 4-9-2011

This game will remain an abysmal failure if yoshi-p does not say something to excite the players who already left before the 19th.

Lol. Still flapping the 19th around? Portal 2 will not influence the existing MMORPG market one bit. It's a mostly single player game with a *below average* logevity.
It's not a difficult concept, really.

Even the witcher 2 has a (while still limited) better possibility to influence MMORPG population. It has longer longevity and at the very least is an RPG.

The fact that you seem to think that Portal 2 is the second coming of J.C. has no bearing to the issue.

Oh, by the way. A game isn't a "failure" (let alone "abysmal") until it closes. As usual, hyperbole doesn't help flawed arguments.
