"SPARE NO EXPENSES"

[CStrife912]

While an obvious troll post, Yoshida did make that statement. Just not necessarily with the context being used here.

Final Fantasy 14 Surpasses 24 Million Players, Becomes Most Profitable Final Fantasy Game In the Series

To go one further.....its a very simple answer...how do the invest back into the game...buying and making new data centers for the AU market...expanding the NA/EU/JA worlds and will be doing that again in the summer. Investing money for a visual overhaul of the product. Remaking and streamlining a lot of the beginning to allow for a more consistent new player experience because they need new players to thrive. They can't keep depending on the end game lot because things happen, games come out, real life events or jobs or just no time in general. Just to name a few things...I know this OP is a troll with a very basic mindset and existence but eh it is what it is

Many MMOs die because producers believe that peak subscribership is in the past and they can only retain. And like you said, life happens, new games come out, etc and the game begins its slow death spiral. SE is trying to take steps to bring in new players.

I can't tell you the number of MMOs I've played (EQ1 and onwards) that I tried to go back to and questioned how any new player could ever play this game. Some games I did go back and reroll to get that "new feeling" again. And I didn't get very far since the new player experience in many of these games hadn't changed in a decade - and it shows.

you seem to have gotten square-enix confused with john hammond i dont remember square ever saying they spared no expense for the game, got any links to that?

SE also hasn't released velociraptors to eat my children. A+++ Would do business again.

My god I swear this forum just complains about everything.

Yes EW probably hasn't been as strong as SHB, but some of you are acting like Yoshi P is personally slapping you in the face.

Ironically, it has been. Population explosion, and even if the late-patch "lulls", there's still a significantly higher active playerbase than there was during similar points in ShB. Just have to get outside the negative echo chamber that is a dozen or so sad, bitter regulars on this forum that can't stand the thought of people enjoying the game.

Its taken you THIS LONG to notice that? This lot are NEVER satisfied, no matter what the devs give us. Seriously, they are no one the devs ever need to listen to. Praise the devs, you're a "white knight" along with a suitably silly MASSIVE picture.

It gets...wearing...after a while.

I'd be more careful with your choice of words if I were you. Otherwise youll be called a white knight of yoshida worshipper

Past caring, to be honest. If I had the chance, Id meet the devs and thank them for some of the best gameplay I have seen in years.
