LOL.
FFXIV is having a very rocky start simply because it radically lacks content and elements of convenience that MMORPG players have come to take for granted. It has nothing to do with it not being FFXI-2.

FFXI was designed for the market as it was eight years ago, and if it was rereleased now, it would bomb horribly, because the rules set by the market have changed (and in fact the only way in which FFXI managed to keep a part of it's playerbase is by making it much more casual-friendly).

Darkfall online is the perfect proof that a MMORPG designed to cater to the extremely small hardcore niche is doomed to fail miserably.

Sorry mate. There's no facts (and even less "FACTS") in your walls of text. There's only mistaking correlation with causation, and that's an immense logical fallacy.
