I feel the OP is asking why isn't FFXIV getting as much attention as Titanfall. The simple answer is probably the original launch turned people off and the subscription fee. Also, the MMO genre is kinda niche on consoles. |
my intent was not discuss mass hype as its pretty obvious. MS marketed the heck out of TF and released 1st on the XB1 where FFXIV got on PS4 last with moderate advertising at best. I am was gearing it more for people to view it objectively and see through the hype. In regards to the entire library (which is what most people consider when buying a console) it adds more. TF is just another FPS game. FFXIV is what I think is possibly the 1st MMO of any kind to work with great results on a console. FPS only fans are probably leaning towards an XB1 anyways because of Halo>greater than any exclusive FPS on PS. Its the people, like me honestly, who like FPS games but also love and enjoy other genres particulary RPG games.
Its about diversity. TF adds none. FFXIV adds alot. If TES Online is any good on a console (skeptical but FFXIV has shown me it can be done) than the XB1 will have at least one viable option for MMO/RPG fans.
