| Mr Puggsly said: You're missing the point. It may be doing very well compared to usual MMO. But many FF fans are going to pass because they don't want pay the subscription fee. That's why we saw little hype for that Sony console exclusive. Nobody wants to boast about an exclusive that cost ~$15 a month to play. Many people that visit these types of forums are turned off to it. |
It may lose many FF fans, but it also gains MMO fans. They are perhaps the most dedicated group of gamers you will find anywhere :P
The thread isn't asking why FF14 isn't as hyped up, but why is it not considered as big an exclusive. To that i'd say that while the overall effect of TF and FF14 will be equally large, TF's is immediate but short lived while FF14's is slow and long lasting (by comparison).
The PS4 in general is going to benefit a lot from it's appeal to MMO gamers.
