I cannot understand any of the decisions being made with this game. Timing+platform, online only, subscription fees, the works. It makes no sense. At least they're going multiplat, which should help sales somewhat, but they're still ignoring PS3.

This game's sales won't come close to touching DQIX's.  It should still be insanely profitable for them, given XI was their most successful Final Fantasy, but it would probably be more profitable if they also supported ps3.  Ignoring ps3 when they're supporting Wii U makes little sense (supposing they weren't moneyhatted, of course).


Square just recently sent out a survey regarding XI. I believe they are thinking about discontinuing the PS2 service with the game so they can actually continue developing content. As well as developing a PS3 version. FFXI is still a strong game with rich content but the last year they hit a barrier with the PS2 hard drive space.
