Game of the Decade in terms of money. Sure. In quality? I would require lots of swearing to tell you NO WAY IN HELL.

Just consider that for a second. Final Fantasy is a longer living series than Warcraft, has just as many if not more fanatics who would buy Cloud dolls made up of glued twigs, and it failed to gain the traction WoW has gained and maintained for 6 years (2004-2010). No, make that utterly failed. It may be that Final Fantasy 11 was a crappy game, but the love and following the Final Fantasy series had coming into it was pretty amazing, which made Final Fantasy 11's failure equally amazing to behold.

Final Fantasy XI is anything but a failure. It is a game that has made more money for the series than any other and it still has plenty of subscribers today. I can respect that their are a lot of people out there who enjoy WoW but just because it has a lot of subscribers doesn't mean it is a "quality" game. It may be to many people, but to many others it is a joke MMO that is destroying the MMO genre. From personal experience with WoW I tend to be more with the later in that category. However I do respect others opinions which is why I personally do not bash it.

The problem is with MMORPGS like Warhammer and Conan, they touted themselves and hyped themselves as "WoW killers," well WoW is still around while their player base has dipped since their launch. My paragraph on Final Fantasy 11 was more or less tied with my sentimentality for WoW which I have for other series.
In hindsight, I was too unfair on Final Fantasy 11 and I apologize for it. Final Fantasy 11 never touted itself as a WoW killer. It was a humble entry into the MMORPG genre and is most likely a "quality" game, but I can't say so as I have not played it myself.
