Maybe this will stop them from using numbers on their MMO's.

I'm already sad enough that my collection goes from 10 to 12. 

FFXI was their biggest game ever, so why would they not the main numbers on MMOs?

And proof of this is?

The fact that over 500 thousand people have been paying $10 every month for over 6 years?

The fact that  FFXI sold millions, if not dozens of millions of the original game and it's expansions?

I thought everyone already knew that FFXI was easily the most profitable Square game ever.

shio, you know how this works. A link would help show PC sales.

FFXI is the most profitable game SE has ever had. It made over 100 million for them alone just last year.

I don't doubt it brought in such profit, I just want to know how big the PC fanbase is, that's all.

Last I knew before XIV came out they said it was in the 400,000-600,000 area.

Not bad.

It may seem like I was calling bullshit, but I just wanted to know the amount of players. Thanks.
