Their target audience was not the "hardcore" players from FFXI, it was the slightly more "casual" crowd more so in relation to the amount of time spent gaming per day.

    FFXIV is not and should never become the hardcore game FFXI once was. If you don't like it go find a game you do like. Cut your losses now, it's not getting any more "hardcore" from here.
    There are no MMOs that are for hardcore gamers on the market. We have nowhere to go, yet casuals have tons of games to choose from, it sucks.

    EVE, Darkfall. Too hardcore? Not FF-themed? Hopefully this gives you a better view on the problem with niches!


    Maybe you don't have such an array of games to choose from because you're not profitable?

    Darkfall. Is pretty hardcore. I considered myself a hardcore MMO player until I played it, then I decided I didn't want to be associated with "Hardcore MMO Players" any more.

    I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.
