    Why is FFXIV so unpopular?

    Was quite amazed how many people are following FFXIV. Its so low....

    Drawing the conclusion that people aren't interested in XIV simply from one site (and Gamespot at that), isn't a good method of determining it's popularity.

    Maybe because FFXIV players will get more info faster from Lodestone than Gamespot? Either that or it's because FFXIV's launch crashed harder than Sam Kinnison after a 3 day coke binge.

    Maybe because the game is legitimately terrible?

    I organized by Followers, descending, and (unless I missed it), FFXIV is the top MMO on that list.

    Look at the competition though. The average gamer today doesn't play MMOs or fantasy games they play FPS and you have the 2 most popular FPS on that list. Also, next to games like Assassin's Creed III and Far Cry 3 for the console players and Crysis 3 for the PC gamers I imagine FFXIV:ARR just kind of fell through the cracks.

    Because the game is bad. Fans can overlook things (even if they bitch a lot), but compared to other MMO games, 1.0 is terrible.

    Yeah I mean seriously why would anyone even ask this? Why do you think they are even remaking this game?

    Also the quality of their pr isn't helping either.

    I respect your opinion and agree with it for the most part, but please don't feed Neomarl. He doesn't make competent thoughts. Just negative trollish ones.

    Yes god forbid anyone criticizes the game or say anything negative. Let's all bow down to the great Square Enix and lick every part of their behinds like the subservient and obedient customers we are. How dare I slander Final Fantasy XIV?
