And of course "Story first" it is NOT this game's Achilles heel, as evidenced by the reception of it and the marginally bigger total player count than any other FINAL FANTASY MMO at the same point of its lifecycle.
I always find this amusing. XIV is heavily marketed .they spend bucket loads on pr and marketing hype for it. And it's playerbase is to quote you. "marginally bigger" than the other final fantasy MMO.

It's funny because the other final fantasy MMO had almost no marketing at all in comparison especially in the West.. A lot of people only found out it existed when the ps games jumped from 10 to 12... what happened to 11?? Or they happened to chance it on a shelf in a shop.

XIV pulls players in by the truck load but they just don't stay largely because of the story...
It's pulled in over 10 million players. Yet it's playerbase is "marginally bigger" than the other final fantasy MMO.

Can you really say xiv has a better approach to story telling than xi did?
