Will you be back?

[Royze]

Speaking objectively, what is the likelihood you will be back in ARR?

How much of a factor is the downtime going to play?

I'm expecting to loose at least 30% of my friends on Excal to this transitional phase.

[CookieBandit]

100% I will be back. Downtime won't play a factor, I'll just have to breath fresh air more often.

[Gokulo]

If nothing major happens in my life then I'll be back 100%. The wait time doesn't mean anything.

[WinnipegJet]

Nor hell should bar my way.

[Sleverin]

100% I wait with bated breath, ready to once again throw punches and break the noses and bones of Garlean forces. They shall fear the mighty taru Monk.

[Undrentide]

im coming back 100% dont care how long it takes....
Of course people will lose interest as time goes on but i think i may be right in saying the last 6 months anyone that was playing is a fan of Final Fantasy and will be also coming back regardless...the ones that didnt stay however might be tempted back once the publicity machine gets going.

[Dannythm]

I will be here!

I think with the hype SE created with the trailer today they should carefully maintain it with regular updates on ARR and stuff to grab more and more people attention again, but if they take too long to release more info and the game the hype will die pretty fast.

I've returned to WoW until I get a beta invite and/or release of ARR. I will be back though, and I may actually have some friends following me to ARR from WoW.

The End of an Era trailer alone has impressed a few people I know who have never played XI or XIV.

[Amherst]

After everything I've been through with 1.0, I'll definitely be back.

100%

How much of a factor is the downtime going to play?

Does not matter to me.

I'm expecting to loose at least 30% of my friends on Excal to this transitional phase.

And gain 30% from the new Playerbase joining the Game and the new Playerbase from PS3.
