It sold on name value alone. We won't realize the damage FFXIII did to the series until the next Final Fantasy flops.

I thought it already did. Sort of.

I was talking about XIII-2 or Versus. But we can see the same principle at work here: XIV flopped because XI sucked. (Go ahead and ban me, twesterm!)

Final Fantasy XI was an awesome game. Most of the Final Fantasy fanbase is filled with morons who label it as shit because their too fucking cheap to spend $12.95 a month on it. Final Fantasy XIV flopped due to no advertising, bad team management, poor development, and other various issues. Learn your fucking facts before you spew shit.

We obviously played different Final Fantasy XIs. The one you played must be really cool for you to get so defensive about it.
