Is FFXIV up against the clock?

[Elkwood]

With a certain major game going into Beta as of 10am PST how many will continue to give FFXIV a fighting chance? I want the game to succeed i really do but overall the updates are slow and the Dungeons just do not provide enough of a challenge. No Other methods of transportation, grinding is still not that fun, etc etc

This game has a lot to overcome but with Blizzard now pushing its next major release can FFXIV overcome the odds? Or will it now be a ticking time bomb with only a possible few months left to recover.

Since this thread is not really taking the direction i was looking for let me modify the post to say how many of you are interested in Diablo III, and with it going into Beta now will you start looking more in that direction, or with the current changes to the game post 1.18 is it enough for you to see SE is making changes and believes in the game.
