As someone that has always loved the final fantasy franchise,
I subbed to the original game for less than a month, and even then I barely logged in, would take ages to login as so many people had them boards in the city to sell stuff, never actually used the feature so assumed it was like a mobile auction house
Apart from main story, I think I just done leve quests, which low level were hard as it would be multiple mobs attacking, and targetting was a nightmare
Wow worked as a classic, as a lot of people had fond memories of it, even the weapon skill grinding
Rift sort of worked as a classic until the game seemed to die off
XIV just wouldn’t work, even if they had the manpower, I just can’t see anyone realistically wanting to play it, for more than a “oh so that’s what it was like” for a week, then stopped
Now if I had a final fantasy wish, it would be XI got the ARR treatment, that game had so much depth and stories, and beautiful zones, it’s a shame it’s just in maintenance mode
If they rebuilt it like ARR, they could easily have two leading MMOs under their belt
Just my opinion
