    Should this game be tailored for Final Fantasy fans or MMO fans?

    Most of us played Final Fantasy XI and other SE titles, and I think that experience informs a lot of our suggestions. I think SE needs to stop looking at FFXI, however, and decide what would be the most fun - first and foremost - before just resorting to what's tried and true.

    It should stay on track as far as the FF series goes, otherwise it wouldn't be a FF MMO.

    Agreed. Really it should probably be a split with the majority leaning towards the classic Final Fantasy side of things (Possibly a 60/40) . The current environment is similar to FFIV-VI with a little bit of IX, so they should focus on invoking a similar feel to those games, both story and equipment wise.

    I think both. Why can't fans of other MMOs try out XIV, like it, and possibly become Final Fantasy fans?

    Exactly!
    "Most" of the "general MMO" players are not or have not tried XI or XIV and prob never will.

    MMO fans.

    SE hasn't had more than 500k subs in years. That number is shrinking rapidly (2 server merges in 1 year).

    They should keep certain aspects to make it a FF MMO (flexibility to change jobs, great world, story, and art direction, chocobos, airships, world in danger, etc.).

    They should learn from what they've done and what everyone else has done, and produce a game that will appeal to a wide audience.

    Especially since most of the better FF games are older, and almost no one holds FF13 in the same regard as FF6, FF7, etc.

    FFXI had 500k subs, but Final Fantasy fans are in the 7million range. Even FF 13 sold 6million copys. They succeed with that playerbase they will win.

    Most final fantasy fans would never put up with grind that is FFXI and FFXIV without a story-driven story or some other driving force behind them.

    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.
