In NA, FFXI released one year after it did in JP

[Nero]

Well.. obvious Troll is obvious. But i will enlighten you a little.

You are the one that does not knows what he is talking about

Yes i do, since i played FFXI since JP Release.

FFXI was miles ahead of FFXIV at the same point in time,

No it was not. There a lot of different Fan-Sites which point out what state the Game was 1 after the first Year. That was right at NA-Release and actually at some Points FFXI was more bad than FFXIV was a couple Month ago i.e. Quests. Im not talking about the Content of Quests, i talk about the availability of them.

that is a year after release in japan, you also have to take in consideration that when FFXI launched
MMO'S where not mainstream, so SE had a chance to experiment, to implement their idea's(Like having no AH for istance) FFXIV launched 10 years later, when MMO'S are very popular, when there is a giant tittle that has 11 million subscribers, and every other MMO that launches and ends up in the burner atleast sell's 2-3mil boxes.

How is that sentence backing up any of the Nonsense of "FFXI looked better in Beta than FFXIV is now"?

Its not.. just another "I am right, cause is say so"-post.

Ofcourse FFXI looked better by betta than this game did, it was a different time for MMO'S

Sorry, but you dont get the Point at all. Noone was comparing FFXI or FFXIV with any other MMO out there. People were comparing FFXI and FFXIV. So i dont really get what you want to say with your post, since it is most likely missing the Point.

Edit:

i.e. People still want Stuff out of the early Final Fantasy Games.. are you also saying that wont happen and/or it looks better/worse cause it was a different Time?
