Please Advertise the PS3 Version Effectively

[Kailok]

They don't need to advertise their games much. Only people who will play it are probably the ones with a SE account getting emails from SE advertising new games

Maybe, but they need to at least try to get the word out to people who don't normally play Final Fantasy games. Everyone started in the Final Fantasy series from somewhere. Yes, there will be word of mouth from the players, but that isn't something they should rely on.

To Jennestia, yeah since they aren't making money off of FFXIV at the moment I can see that being a problem as far as advertising goes. But hopefully, since they realize that the PS3 is going to be the next big effort to gain players, they'll at least push the game more. I'd love to see a sale through Steam. That way, even without the sales, you can play it and friends will see what you are playing. Then some will be like "That's on here? Hm...wonder if it's changed" and maybe, just maybe look into it.

XIV isn't making money, therefore they're not going to splurge a ton of cash into something that may not even be beneficial to do -- cost also refers to resources, memory and workload.

It isn't making money now while it is in development, but it is presumed that they are only working on it because they will want to make money at some point in the future. If you put a bunch of time, labor, and resources into a game and then completely drop the ball on advertising (ie. letting people know it exists), why bother making it in the first place? Of course they're going to advertise. That is what their ad and merchandising departments are paid to do.

Of course it does...? It's going very much in the right direction, but it still needs a good amount of work before it's ready for PS3.
