Looks Like the PS4 Made a Difference (2 Million+ Registered)Follow

Now clap your hands together and say it like Momma Klump. "Derpules! Derpules! Derpules!"

Ah, that made a slow day feel better.

Yep, only a moron would believe the director himself, who has pretty much come through on every promise he's made about the game.



Already did. Twice. The simple fact that you're too dense and stubborn to believe what the director himself says is your own problem. The sources are accountable and official. Keep trying.

Why should they? Who are they trying to impress, you? The simple fact that they haven't released these numbers says absolutely NOTHING about how successful they are. It's just you and you're negativity trying to force people to believe that simply because they aren't revealing their numbers, they must be bad. You have absolutely no way of knowing that. The only thing we DO know, is that according to the director himself, there are roughly 500,000 players every day prior to PS4 launch. Yoshi isn't one to lie and has accomplished everything he's said he would in a reasonable manner, so why wouldn't I believe him? It's certainly far more likely that he's on point and you're full of sh*t than vice versa. And on that note, I'm done with this convo because you clearly have no idea how to forge a coherent argument. Good day.

Pot, kettle, glass houses.

Little how-to guide from Square enix on how to pad them numbers.

How to pad registered accounts for PS4 release.

step 1
PS4 beta open to everyone, free download from ps store. Register an account now to play on live servers!
step 2
carry ALL beta free accounts to final release, even if they don't actually buy the game cause, numbers!
step 3
200k more registered accounts, it's like magic! WoW, much success.

Not sure what you're trying to prove here but people were actually interested in the game enough to register and try the game. 2 million plus to be exact. What are they trying to pad when it's a fact over 2 million people were interested in playing ARR?

Do you have any source to prove that ARR is not a success besides the nonsense you're pulling from your behind?

He doesn't have any reason to be upset as long as you keep taking him seriously.

That's just how it is. No matter how wrong he is, as long as the people here legitimize his stance by responding to it there is no need for him to be upset.

What I don't understand, Preludes, is *why* do you still want the game to fail?

When the game first released I wanted to love it. I wanted to fall in love all over again with a new character having new adventures with all my old friends. When that didn't happen and it was an unplayable mess, I wanted it to fail. I wanted it to fail badly so SE could finally, FINALLY learn that their customers matter and we won't just buy ANYTHING they slap the words 'Final Fantasy' on and fall at their feet in worship. They needed to learn the lesson that even though they had good success with earlier ideas, they still needed to put out a quality product.

So, they did something that most american companies wouldn't dream of. They admitted fault. They said they were sorry, please we need some time and we have a new man who is going to make everything better, come try again later. And then they followed through on that promise and while things are still a little rough (some UI stuff, some mechanics stuff, adding fun stuff, the overwhelming use of male pronouns to the point i'm nearly nauseous, customer service that is still a nightmare), it's a million times better than it was two years ago.

And the best part? Not only did they NOT say sorry, new game buy a new box, they ALSO rewarded all of us who already had bought the CE with the new goodies they packaged in the current one. I mean really, how can you possibly find any fault with them after the way they handled this? How can you still want them to fail? It made sense to want to see the game crash and burn a couple years ago because some companies just HAVE to crash and burn before they learn anything. But now? If you hate it that much, there are many other games out there.

You don't need to come to a community you loathe, to talk about a game you resent, on a forum you don't respect. Really, we'd understand.

Not only is it strange that Preludes is so obsessed with ranting about the game, but, in doing so, he single-handedly makes this forum less tolerant toward others who might have genuinely negative views on the game.

I can't think of another poster though who is all-negative, all the time. Also, Preludes' posts aren't rooted in reality or original thoughts... he just kind of makes things up in reaction to what others say. There's no effort to make any real, rational arguments.

But, he complies with forum rules, so whatevs.

Why not wish for XV to fail then, since that game isn't out yet?
