Positive Reactions to FFXIV:ARR

[Kirito]

I don't find the last comment amusing. It's the usual moron that thinks games should all be single players and MMOs are somewhat bad. I heard too many of those.



No, and no.

Hmm... given that I just found an import at 250 gb for $350 (usually imports as $100 more than local price) I guess I stand corrected...

I look forward to seeing how they market the rebirth of the game as we get closer to release. Beta footage should only help to encourage old players to come back and, more importantly, bring new players into the fold. It's coming along nicely, but as yoshi himself has said, we still have a long way to go.

The most popular game brands sell their games at full retail price cost of 40-60$ and its hard to find a good game that gives you 40 hours of gameplay ...for legacy members thats around 6 months of gameplay ...and with Yoshi-P's new engine they can create new content monthly if they feel like it and add it faster to the game .

FFXIV:ARR will be worth the monthly fee and then some ..

What strikes me about ARR is that it's not going to be sold at retail for a high price. I think I saw it being sold for $30 on Amazon (that could've been a suggested price), so who knows. Besides, I'd rather pay a monthly fee so we could help fund the devs who poured their sweat, blood, and tears into making the game. And they have done that with this remake and deserve the credit. So for me, it truly is "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!"

I'm amazed at how many ppl, (Including myself) that are really still holding out for the PS3 version of the game! Everyday I realize that the PS3 potential customer base is getting larger everyday!

And FFXI proved that having an MMO on multiple platforms and letting them play on the same servers will increase the longevity of an MMO almost indefinatley!

Yoshi-P really have turned this game around!

There's a lot holding out onto because the FF install base is console based more than PC, so they know their true audience is on the console market and why gaining the PS3 is their last chance (SE's words.)

I remember when I saw the first lord of rings in the movie theater there was a big commercial for WOW,lol. I just saw the hobbit and WOW once again had a big commercial for the mist of pandaland expansion. ff may need to do some stuff like that, or a tv add that runs on adult swim or something.

I'm not sure if thats the official price... I think it will most likely be $40-50 for SE and $50-60 for CE...

Will be mmo of the year in 2013, I predict that within the first 6 months SE will have to add more servers to ARR due to the amount of players joining.
