I can honestly say that the only three biggest MMO games at the time were were World of Warcraft, Rune Scape, and Maplestory. Final Fantasy XI offered something that people wanted at the time: A fantasy game which they could understand and already knew and loved, some form of backstory that made sense in it's world and wasn't depended on mindless backtracking quests, and groups of people who weren't dickheads and hackers. I will say that I liked XI and if it wasn't for the monthly fee I would still be playing it. That's what drawing all the cash in. But with the last two FF games to come out SE rushed them out for a quick buck. You can see it in FFXIII just by looking at the datalogs and you saw with XIV it took weeks for them to set it up and even then it was FREE for a month or two. SE is really starting to loose it's touch since FFXII and the only thing keeping it afloat are it's other games like Kingdom Hearts and Dragon quest and their hardcore dedicated fans.<br /><br />-The 1 &only UzukiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5553633213256417629.post-72919621233586629242011-09-08T17:38:35.586-04:002011-09-08T17:38:35.586-04:00FFXI in terms of raw profit was the most successfu...FFXI in terms of raw profit was the most successful Final Fantasy game of all time. Its one of the most popular MMOs on the market, even to this day, which is incredible for a game so old. FFXIV was probably built as a successor, but those plans are probably dead now because FFXIV is indisputably the worst Final Fantasy game ever made. A year of work has made things better, but still, it was lousy at release.<br /><br />So really, SE could either make hundreds of millions here or lose big.
