So comparing it to a modern day MMO isn't really applicable.

Anyways, nothing we've discussed here has pointed to the game being anything other than a resounding success with a few people who didn't like it. It seems to me it's good remake material. If they've remastered other FFs surely its previously most profitable one also deserves to be remastered. That's all I'm gonna say.

Ever quest peaked at abiut the same numbers, and ever quest 2 is still going also.





Wow came out shortly after XI did and we know how that story goes.



I don't know that I agree with you on only a few people not liking XI, but I won't argue it's success.





I do really wonder how many people who think they want xi but shiny actually want like, the "good era" of XI but shiny.





Times have changed a lot and most of those people are my age or older now. And I'm not exactly young anymore.
