Cash Shop Items for FFXIV possible future update?

500k came and played the game@ launch so I fail to see how this "f2p" thing is taking over, when the only reason FFXIV lost all those people was because of a poorly designed game. Period.

From the 500k people who bought the game only 10k are left.
The other 490k don't even care about 1.0/2.0 anymore.

I can already see people getting fired over at Square Soft once 2.0 bombs.

You seem convinced 2.0 will fail. I'm having a hard time figuring out why you're still here if that's the case.

I don't want it to fail as much as you do, but i don't want another TOR.
This game needs CONTENT at release. Should it not manage this, casuals and other players will not bother with it a second time.

I have faith in Yoshi, he prolly knows more stuff about MMORPGs than the whole developement team.

I want 2.0 to fail? This is news to me... I'm fairly certain my shellmates can vouch for how much gushing I do over every little scrap of info.

I can see where you're coming from though.

Those 490k people really don't even matter anymore. With a ps3 release coming this time for real that will boost the sales big time. If 2.0 didn't get a single new PC player, the ps3 version will carry this game for many years to come.

1. Please show your sources for your first figure, regarding "10k are left"

2. Please show your sources indicating that the other "490k" (again, an arbitrary number), don't care about 1.0/2.0 anymore.

In my experience, everyone I know who started with 1.0 and left are definitely interested in 2.0. I also know people who had no interest in 1.0 who are interested in 2.0. That's about a dozen people or so, and that's just people I know of.

3. Please show us the infallible crystal ball that allows you to see the game bombing, or people getting fired for it.

Oh you can't provide any of that because you're pulling all of that out of your rear?

Well color me surprised.

This isn't rocket science little boy. Everybody who knows at least a bit about the MMORPG business can see where this is going.

But you do not know business.... .

Okay, so you can't back up anything you said because you are, in fact, talking out of your ass. Thank you for confirming that.
