As of right now, Final Fantasy XI still has 325,000 subs. How many does XIV have?

People can cry foul all that they want, and stand adamantly on the basis of hoping for a "vision" that Yoshida has... The truth is that this game is still a blunt and obvious failure, and has a long way to come.

With ideas like XI-style open world NM/HNMs being added how is it going to hurt you? Why spend so much time posting in threads trying to nullify these kind of options. You can still go to your instanced raids, and the like. We will go hunt our NM's.

Why do you people need everything so black and white? Why can't these things coexist in game?
Because it's a different game. Is that not enough?

Why can't you work with what things are meant to be in this game and improve those, instead of asking them to scrap ideas and/or copy directly from another game?
