Fun is a relative term, but the size of playerbase is not.

Doesn't change relative terms. The PS3 version has yet to be released, which is by far the larger base in Japan, so even in a small playerbase, it still won't change terms.

I disagree. The Fun-ness of a game will correlate to the size of its player base.

We cannot contribute the size of the player base factors such as the cost of entry ($40 - at least ten bucks less than standard cost of a video game), the high monthly subscription fee (because it is $0), or the lack of awareness of the developer and the company (S-E is one of the most well-known brands in the industry, having made world-class games for 20+ years). If anything, these factors only inflate the player base. If FFXIV started charging, right now, everyone in here knows that the population would reduce dramatically.

And why? Well... we all know why, so we're all going to continue arguing on a tangent, rather than discussing the point at hand. /thread.

Not when MMO players mainly want to solo and avoid group content as much as possible.

Now it's /thread.
