Think the game will succeed?

[Velhart]

thanks, i think im going to come back -just- to do leves and stuff. but i'll prob end up putting a lot more time into SWTOR which is seriously far far far better at the moment. then maybe ill come back for 2.0 fully.

What the hell is a "leves"? oo;

hmm i don't play any other beta these days, soo i don't compare to anything..
but , 2.0 will be just a thing that will Finally bring this game up to an average level.
at least , I believe it won't be ultimately miracle patch.

This game wont be a big success, nore will it be a big failure. It will just stay how it is, I believe. It will obviously gain back some of the lost members by the time it gets 2.0, but thinking its ever going to hit millions is very optimistic at this moment.

There is just way too much competition.

By the time 2.0 hits, TERA/GW2/SWTOR and others will have already been released, patched, and be having updates/expansions.

FFXIV also suffers against other non related games, for example MW3 took players, BF3, etc. But I dont think there is any big games like that coming within the next year.

FFXIV will do well, and SE don't have the intention of closing it. So it wont ever fail. Hell even APB hasn't failed and that has a worse start than FFXIV (and is in a worse condition still now lol)

I play a lot of games, so picking one over another seems very stupid to me, I like lots of entertainment and don't plunge myself into 1 game like its my child or something. I will though favour others over others. Thus I will favor tera/gw2/swtor over FFXIV in its current state.

I may also not pay for subscription as I dont play, so I do not see point.

In reference to this, I think that means 2.0 being a year or so away is a GOOD thing. All the hype from those games will have died down a bit and everyone will have some time to play them and figure out if they like them enough or not, giving XIV a bit more spotlight and hype for it's re-launch.

With good marketing and well planned E3 campaign, I don't think millions are out of the question.

Azur has been away for a while, he has not seen the current XIV, which does not consist of leves being the day to day.

The only leves I've done since 1.19 are crafting leves.

i havent been away that long. only a month. are leves not useful for crafting and gathering anymore?

I'm pretty positive that 2.0 will actually re-write the game (based on what I've seen and the fact that they've been developing alongside 1.0 this entire time).

[indira]

it will once they get out of the let do every thing other mmo's are doing so we dont stand out from the rest phase . im pertty sure swtor will beat ffxiv till SE pushes out 2.0 then maybe they have a chance of pushing past SWTOR.

This game is being fundementally changed. They are adding and changing the game we have now and completely making a "new" one for us to be released in about a years time. I think they are doing great. It's going to take time but look how far they have gotten.

Anywho, you don't need to have as many subscribers as WoW to be considered successful, we got a ways to go before we get our next influx of new people.
