Why is FFXIV so unpopular?

[Venat]

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?

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?

"Why would anyone support a dying company like Square Enix?" - Neomarl, the one who continues to pay SE to play FFXIV.

"Why does anyone play this game?" - Neomarl, continues to play this game.

"SE please don't do any marketing, I want this game to fail again" - Neomarl, continuing to play the game he wants to fail a 2nd time.

"No one gives a crap about casuals" -Neomarl.

"I'm not a troll, YOU are, stop replying to him please." -Neomarl, trolling the BG recruitment thread while calling out others as a troll.

God forbid indeed.

If it was constructive criticisim I would agree with what your saying. But clearly, from reading many of your other posts, you continue to play this game only for the right to whine like a little bitch about something no one is forcing you to play. Grow up

I didn't pay much attention to the game until recently and decided to not listen to all the talk and see for myself what's up w/ the game. To my surprise , I really like it, ver.1.23b, and am having a ton of fun getting prepped for ARR. Wish I wwould have started a bit sooner tbh.

I think most people were like me and just heard it was bad and skipped the game. It's hard to resist when everywhere you read that a game is horrible.

That being said... they really, really, really need to implement a proper AH. It's an entire part of the game that I can't even partake in because all the wards are full. That really is some 1st class BS.
