Predictions for future of FFXIV

[Xatsh]

Over 2.5 million people played FFXI at it's peak, >30k people play this game. Do you honestly not see anything wrong with this?

ffxi capped at 640,000 subs at its peak... it no where near reached 2.5million at any 1 point. Only mmo to ever reach those numbers is WoW.

[Firon]

No i remember SE posting that 11 hit a mil subs @ one point

[Evangela]

they'll just use it as an example and learn more about how to make an MMO

Honestly, FFXIV stopped having a future for me awhile ago, I can't even log on anymore.

My prediction:

Patch Update 12/25/2013
"Merry Christmas Everyone! (To those who celebrate it. :P ) I am proud to announce that it has bee a wonderful few years since the revitalization of FFXIV! With great gratitude, I have implemented the feature of jumping! Just for today though! Have fun!"

Broad term, but it's obviously implied(i hope) that you meant to not count certain browser or asian games in your analysis.

In April 2009, Square Enix announced that the total number of active characters exceeded 2 million for the first time.

Edit: Characters not subs. Couldn't find the 1 million sub link.

Summer 2012, SE announces that they will no longer try to hide the fact that FFXIV was intended to be a catgirl play and costume making simulation.

FFXIV will choose between casual or hardcore and lose half its subscribers. Idk

It was more than just 1 million according to SquareEnix. Active subscriptions at that.

Wrong FFXI never hit the 1 million subscription mark, they did hit the 2 million character created one tho, but who cares about that anyways lol

*looks into crystal ball*

I foresee FFXI number of players mostly Japanese.With a chance of Closing down.

The future is not certain, but it becomes ever so clearer everyday.
