Server mergers and points of interest?

[Dreamer]

Please, try to have a little foresight. Yes, many of the servers are currently underpopulated. However, if we merge now, when the PS3 version is released they will explode, even if the PS3 version doesn't sell 'well.' Let SE build up the game, release the PS3 version, and THEN if needed we can discuss server merges.

At the current time, however, the idea of a server merge is both shortsighted and counterproductive.

If they don't merge then I might not make it to the PS3 release. I'm sure I'm not the only one that wishes they could log on and find a party. Like I said in my post I am against the idea of it, but I think right now the positives outweigh the negatives. While PS3 release is definitely something to fall back on, it's not something that should be planned around.

How so? if SE does not put a lot of TV ads of FFXIV in NA and really do a lot of commercial ads for ffxiv everywhere in the world that FFXIV would be sold. Then FFXIV would be the same as FFXI a low underpopulated game never ranging 2+mil players.

Point is now there more MMO then ever before so if ffxiv fail at doing any commercial ads for this then the game would fail just like the pc release. I'm happy they did not do any commercial ads for FFXIV in NA and only in japan because only the jp really got hurt by this game release. Tho NA would still bad but at least not a lot of mmo players got to see it. Playing wow not a lot of players even know about ffxiv so SE still can get FFXIV moving with a great Commercial ads for NA.

If FFXIV come out with a Pack for the ps3 version and everything fix and it's a very good mmo then ya merge is not a great idea right now. If they just do like they did with the PC release then lol better start cutting down servers right now.

I see more ads for Kingdom hearts and Final fantasy 13 and even the FF4 game that coming out for psp then FFXI and FFXIV put together.

I hope we see a NA version of this JP TV ad for ffxiv
