New Square Enix President Making Big ChangesFollow

Oh come on Wint! How am i trolling them by saying the figure in VGcharts is units sold ? Do you have information that states otherwise ?

Because: http://news.bigdownload.com/2010/11/04/report-final-fantasy-xiv-ships-over-630-000-units/

Aparrently Wada himself said they shipped those units.

We have had hard data, just not data you white knights like :) http://ffxiv.zam.com/forum.html?forum=152&mid=1332899848229324645#9 Or the direct like http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/41265-Check-your-server-population/page3

Those numbers where after the merger, and there are tons of more post like that, that have been posted here and discussed, but of course we all suffer from alzheimer's when is convenient. Never EVER! Have we had more than 50K+ players after the first Month of Retail. We did whoever had a bigger population Before official release and during the first week of retail: http://jp.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/14449/ffxiv-census/

Or you can see this one http://www.thenakamals.net/showthread.php?265-Lodestone-Census-Data It has all the data from only CE release and CE and Retail.

Now on the Troll argument, I might have a different point of view on the game, than most of you who are Yoshi-P cheerleaders, but i have been right, answer me this wint, you are legacy Right ? Is the game more akin to WOW than to XI ? You and i know the answer to that question, and i did say many many moons ago, that in order for the game to survive, it would have to emulate WOW :) Better yet, is the game more Wowish now than lets say in 1.23 ? You know the version everybody was paying for and according to Yoshi himself the version that was in his opinion "Worth Paying for" ? Why change the model to one more in line with WOW ? It worked in 1.23 Right ?

Also i have not been trolling this guys in a long long time, now a year ago or so, you might have had a argument, but i have not been trolling anybody lately, but for arguments sake, if i am trolling as you say, then you must be whiteknighting, and your opinion is biased, unlike you i do not have to keep SE happy, you know they dont pay my ticket to go to japan, to do a softball interview Nor do i have to comply with their NDA because "Then we dont get access" etc etc.

P.S Not questioning your integrity, but hey you have more reason than me to play nice to SE.

For the record, I never disputed the whole shipped versus sold argument. I do dispute player run census numbers though, /sea all is by no means conclusive.

Regarding your question, you know I can't answer that publicly, and will not, but suffice to say my answer may not be what you think.

I consider you a troll because you continue to post in these forums when it's clear you have absolutely no interest in playing the game once it launches and relish in poking at those of us who plan to and are excited for it.

Regarding your comments about "keeping SE happy", they did indeed pay to fly me to San Francisco not Japan (Japan might have been cheaper, Elmer could have driven there I imagine instead of me going) but aside from that one hand out I have received nothing else from them, not this mythical "access" you are going on about. You ARE questioning my integrity, and for some reason you can't figure out why a person might like this game since you don't and therefore we are "white knights" because of it. Be very careful about what else you say, I'm being very patient with you right now even though your post is incredibly rude and inflammatory.

I loled with this.
