question about reddit ffxiv state of game

[Remus]

Wow what's with the reddit hate on here? I honestly find reddit better than the official forums. Just don't take everything on reddit as fact the same way you would on the official forums if someone made a thread saying something that isn't confirmed.

Also I will be honest with you the sub numbers are not as high as you think. I would say its in the 400k-500k range and that's being generous. It will increase with the expansion but drop again quite quickly. It's not really being doomsayers but looking at the game realistically based on some data people have gathered. The data isn't from SE so you can't say its official but its the closest thing to active players of some form pulling data from the lodestone.

If you don't see a source on the post then don't believe it straight away. Most of the time people would put a source with it to prove what they say.

Also generally you get information faster due to people looking at the JP forums quite often ;D

...The FFXIV subreddit has plenty of its own issues, some which are reddit-as-a-whole, some which are specific to that particular community...

Gimme a brocheck.

Reddit is like every communication platform, everyone can put his mind on it. You will find salty people but also great and invest people on the community.
Most of them are just players that enjoy the game like you and me...

Thank you. I was thinking the same thing.

Mostly I was just being silly, but... You know... Easy target is easy.

Most internet forums you need a good dose of skepticism, especially when people start throwing numbers and emulating Chicken Little, even these forums. It's just that Reddit is particularly known (stereotypical as it may be) for calling most any drop in sub numbers the "downfall of the game as a whole."

Moral of the story, "Welcome to the Internet and be mindful of which cake you decide to eat lest you choose the wrong one."

My opinion is that, there a lot more games now to be played than when Arr was launched.
Most of the ps4 users have a lot of exclusive games so i imagine many of them cancel their sub and will comeback with the new expansion.
I would imagine this will happen again when games like destiny 2 gets launched.
MMORPG games are prone to this.

In 1996 I made a better looking website on Angelfire using a small guide out of a GamePro magazine for HTML and random images I found on the net.

If they could get a proper webdesigner for formatting, I may consider using it. But it looks like a convoluted bit of trash. This goes for all of Reddit, not just the FFXIV one.

They are no different than this forum IMO. Wait until after stormblood launches and you will see the game isdying because there are no healers or tanks, WHM and PLD are still dead, and thanks for killing monk SE posted all over this forum too. I've found some great information on Reddit too in regard to gameplay. It is another source of information both positive and negative.

One big difference is this forum can be used only by people that have subbed the game.

Doesn't make it any better.

my concern with reddit isn't hatred is who has truth about what going on in ffxiv and on in dev team i heard thing like yoshi p make his devs team anger about his hyper around red mage. see i not sure this relyable informations

Like I said don't take posts like that seriously. Most of the time things like that get downvoted if it's not true. Most people will give sources for their claims. If the haven't provided a source don't believe it. When using Reddit just don't think everything on there is true same way you would on the official forums. You just need a certain mentality when you go on reddit and not take everything face value.

Lot's of people have different opinions on reddit and that's why I like it because people can criticise the game without needing to worry looking over their back of being banned from the forums. May not be the best criticism and those are the ones you ignore because it's silly.
