It does not change the fact that FFXIV has to be commercialized and more approachable by that audience if it wants to succeed. As it stands now its a very niche game. The only people that play it now are; old XI players that understand its flaws and accept what must be done to revive it - and people like you that think the game is amazing and defend it at all costs.

No genius, good content that incorporates that mechanic and others successfully makes the game good.
