Final Fantasy XIV is failing so much... that they're hiring :D

.....ok and? they need more programers to add to the current team to get things done faster... your point?

That for profit business don't generally hire more employees for a project unless they believe in its ability to turn a greater profit as a result.

For people who play an MMO it is always a good sign when the company is investing more money in it. At this point most MMO studios like Funcom/SOE/Mythic are cannibalizing the team to move them to different projects.

After Vanguard's launch for example (which is pretty comparable to XIV's) they herded most of their developers into a parking lot and shot them.... or laid them off suddenly one of the two. Either way hiring more people is a much better sign.
