How can a game be even remotely popular without it being fun?

FFXIV isnt popular because its not fun (yet),
WoW is popular because its fun.

am i defending WoW? no, i am not (well maybe i did sounded like one for whiteknights)
but at least i am not trying to be biased here.

FFXIV tries their best to be different than the other MMOs out there and in the process they forgot the fundamental basic of what a game needs. it needs to be fun.



its kind of like Justin Bieber, how many people loathe him with stupid reasoning?
he has 8mil follower all over the world on twitter, he is popular amongst the females.
it just shows he is not everyone's cup of tea.
