    While there are a lot of people that do look down on the Final Fantasy franchise (mind you, after the Skyrim/PS3 debacles quite a lot of people aren't exactly tender with the TES franchise either), there also are a whole lot of people that still believe that SE can do no wrong and that will buy anything with the Final Fantasy name on top.

    It's a franchise that can still count on a very large fanbase.

    If this game wasn't a numbered Final Fantasy Square Enix wouldn't probably even bother with remaking it to try and repair the damage they did to the brand.

    You mean the fanboys that will love anything SE throws at them? 'cause from what I've seen over the years, tons of those FF fanboys actually detest XI and XIV simply because they're MMOs and without actually having tried either. O_o They clamor that they shouldn't be numbered FF games.

    Oh yeah. This would probably be a big issue if they were actually thinking about a PS3 release, but I doubt that. TES's main audience has always been PC users anyway.

    That's exactly what I said on my last post, but this is all about SE. They can't afford to have one of their main titles to die just like that. Who do you think they are, Capcom?

    Oh, and the damage? It's been done since XIII and they're going for it's second sequel. They don't care much as long as it sells. XIV didn't sell as expected, so they had to take actions regarding this one.

    While those people do exist. I think it's undeniable that there are a lot of people that played FFXIV and will play FFXIV: A Realm Reborn primarily because they're numbered final fantasy titles, pretty much like there are a lot of people that will play TESO primarily because it's a TES title.

    It's normal for franchises, and that's why Square Enix is trying this hard to repair the damage done to the FF one. Franchises are a precious resource for a company.

    There's really nothing wrong about it, mind you. A popular franchise isn't normally popular for nothing.

    I'm actually more inclined at the moment to vote for Blade & Soul as most anticipated but it's not on there.

    I don't see Final Fantasy making it on any of the votes on the list. Most Anticipated i see making it is Elder Scrolls Online.

    MMORPG.com has & still does look poorly upon SE on its MMOs created.

    I still remember their two very negative "re-reviews" published just a day or two before major patches...

    Very professional indeed

    when you apply you can uncheck the stuff so they don't send email and if they do they be a unsubscrip button at the bottom email but w/e i guess people are A: lazy and B: what you said lol

    what's up with this first-personal-shooter-based battle style (looking at 2012's Most Anticipated List)? Looks like the trend are there... It's like "fashion", ppl are just copying each other... (By saying first-personal-shooter battle style, I mean "Might and Magic" or "Elder's Scroll" style you shoot the center of the screen)

    Darkfall (6%), Elder scroll(29.2%), Firefall(5.6%), Never winter(8.4%), Star Citizen (12.7%), Wildstar (5%), The Repopulation(3.2%), Defiance (2.0%), otherland (1.2%).... oh sorry it's faster to say which games (3 our of 12)(ArcheAge, ff14 ARR, Marvel Heros) are not using that system...
    sort of all using the same battle technique that you shoot to center of your screen. wildstar has hybrid system...

    It's kinda interesting...I wonder 75% of the games in the market right now are using that style or no... I just know I can't play lots modern games.
    (I can't play these due to motion-sickness thing)
