FF11 rivals WoW in terms of money made, another FF MMO means good money for sure.

The most extreme guesses run as much as 1 or 1.5 million. Assuming the most severe estimate (1.5 million) was 50% of the true value (3 million), FF11 would still pale in comparison to World of Warcraft, by a dramatic amount. Sorry, but saying it 'rivals' WoW is just blatantly wrong, by a long shot. | |

And FF11 rivaling WoW in terms of money made? Haha, is that some sort of joke? FF11 has around 500,000 active subscribers. That is people currently paying to play the game. WoW has 11.5 million active subscribers. WoW has always had more players than FF11. With a cost of buying the game (plus expansion packs) and monthly fees, you do not need to be very smart at math to realize WoW is making insane amounts of money, way more than FF11. I cannot find numbers stating how much each has sold or expansion pack sales (but TBC expansion for WoW sold 3.5 million in a month). But using monthly fees of $15 a month, WoW makes about 2 billion dollars a year, FF11 makes 90 million. WoW makes more in a month than FF11 makes in a year. (WoW makes about 173 million a month). I'm willing to bet WoW makes more in a year than FF11 has ever made. (These numbers do not take into account cost of maintaining each game) WoW is the most popular MMO ever, and it is drastically the leading MMO on the market at the moment (more than half of the people who pay to play MMOs play WoW). It has more players and is making more money than every other pay to play MMO combined. You are the one pulling imaginary facts out of your anus to try and make yourself look right. You're not, and you are only making yourself look silly and desperate now. | |
FF11 makes roughly 250 million dollars a year, more than anyother MMO not named WoW, hence rivaling it.
And Urban Dictionary? Even EncyclopediaDramatica is better dude. | |
There are actually quite a handful of microtransaction MMOs that make that much per year, according to the 2008 DFC report.

Encyclopedia Dramatica? You do realize that entire website is a troll website right? Intended to be taken as a joke?
Also, the math does not add up. FF11 has a monthly fee of $13, with half a million players that comes to $78 million a year from subscription fees alone. I do not know where the other $180 million comes from! Also, Aion. It has 3.5 million active subscribers, and a monthly fee of $15. Simple math tells you Aion makes more money a year than F11. Aion is probably WoWs closest rival at the moment. You really need to stop pulling imaginary facts out of thin air to try and make yourself look right! | |
If FF11 only had 500k players I'd be really disappointed. Where on earth are you getting these figures?

Square Enix themselves said so. It is just over a year old however, but I doubt the figures have changes very much. | |
That isn't even taking into consideration all the extras players have access to. Player name changes, player transfers, player race changes, player class changes, player faction changes, server changes. All of these are around $20.00 to $30.00.

SquareEnix needs to give up on Final Fantasy for awhile and re-invest time in Chrono Trigger or Xenogears.

Maybe you should look it up before you think you're an expert on a topic (didn't this happen before in another topic?).
And now you're just trying to nitpick.
I wouldn't be overly surprised. But with the failure of FF13 as well as the failure of several very large commercial MMOs in the past 2 years, I suspect SquareEnix realize they are not immune to failure anymore.
They are not guaranteed success because it is Final Fantasy and a MMO, so they will have to make it special to succeed (or at least better).
Who knows? Maybe they will try, or maybe they wont.
