Final Fantasy XIV Onlines 1 year failure anniversary. So sad in the end.

A year is longer than some MMOs have lasted, so not a complete failure :P.

Reality is nothing; Perception is everything.
I really don't think they'll ever recover it. They really should just cut their losses. The game would really need to be redesigned from the ground up.

Well I'd consider FFXI a similar failure.
Well, that's a hit and a miss. As Rift has shown, you don't have to have WoW numbers to make money. However, the reality is that it's hard to consider something a "success" when you're talking about 1-2million accounts when WoW keeps shoving down "HEY YOU GUYS! We've got 12 million" Yet, they never actually explain how many of those aren't full subscriptions.
I keep finding this funny. I've poked on the FFXIV forums here and there, and they are the most delusional bunch I've ever seen. However, if you read at least 20 posts you'll see several comments of how if they started charging fees, they would pretty much all quit.
It's also funny that Square isn't listening to the non Japanese market at all currently. Gotta lover national arrogance.
I've lost faith in Square a loooong looooooooong time ago. Nothing has changed.
