Dear SE - What happened?

[Geezer]

In my personal opinion SE lack of a wide 360° scan on MMO world, if you check JP-Button site update history archive of FFXI they are doing the same things as 9 years ago. If you want to be competitive you have to look around and put away your conservative point of view on how to develop a MMO. Anyway I'm glad of all this updates and I think that If the game was released as the state that is now things would be gone differently.

Actually the problem is the opposite. They have been too original and thrown any kind of conservativism to the bushes. Most of the complaints about FFXIV features are from players that would want a less original/more conservative approach.

Define the best? It is the largest and makes the most money.... i'd say at least in the companies eye that is the "best".

Best is a relative term that is different from person to person. Though saying it will take down wow, all the making of the realm videos... they had big hopes. Then again so did all the players on day 1.

I already defined it "quality-wise".

Quality and popularity almost never end up being the same thing.
