Friend"..."

in-game convo lulz. also i should say that was around when ff14 was first announced.

lol some friend u have there, ouch

Quitting XI because of XIV? The feeling of losing everything you invested your time into and having to start from stratch?

But I've never seen someone complain about starting at level 1 in a new FF title besides that. Oh no! I was level 99 in FF IV, and I have to restart over in FF V!!! How unfair. I'm so quitting. Yes, of course...

So, maybe it's because FF XI takes so much time? But what about when you finish a game you like, and then wish it lasted much longer?

After 9 sequels and several spinoffs, they MADE an FF title like that, and people still find something to complain about.

SE aren't stupid enough not to realize this is going to cross a lot of people's mind. So just wait and see how they will try to convince FF11 players to try FF14. They're into making money... They'll find something to convince you, don't worry.

Yeah really...who said anything about new people? It's the douchebags that I hope quit.

Define failed hard ?

FF VII : 9.72M + 0.60M from international version
FF VIII : 7.86M
FF IX : 5.30M
FF X : 7.95M + 0.30M from international version
FF X-2 : 5.21M + 0.30M from international/Last Mission
FF XII : 5.10M + 0.10M from international/Zodiac Jobs System

I don't see any failure there. FF VII and X were the first FF on their respective system (= huge evolution/change compared to the previous generation, which would explain these numbers. Not to mention that both were system sellers.). IX/X-2/XII still sold 5.5M copy each which is a lot, can't talk about a failure here :/

Protip : nobody cares about how good the game are, people just buy them. Just check out the charts, 80%+ of these sales has been done during the 2 first weeks which followed the release (in each different region).

Won't compare games from the main series to the spin off however, would be completely HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE.

Aye, but making ***games can only lower the amount of ppl who want to buy the next one in line. luckily for SE they have so many big hits that shitty games wont impact them much.

a lot of people would still buy

the average person is a sheep, will sit back and do w/e he/she is told

Unless SE *** up like 3-4 games in a row, I really don't think that its playerbase will erode. And by *** up I mean a complete failure, something you wouldn't play. So far I always cleared all final fantasy, even if some are inferior to others, they, usually, are way above the average game, especially when you see ***that's being released elsewhere.

Baaaaaaaaa

same lol, i have too much time for console games to interest me much, but ff games can last awhile and usually have stuff to do afterwords.

sidenote: i recently picked up Shadow of the Colossus (yeah lol, 2 years too late), sat through it in a few hours and was like "wtf, thats it? not even a hidden colossus or something after-game"
