>5 million subs and rising

How did they do it?

>pcucks complain about consoles paying for online play
>they literally pay more monthly for a single game

How do they do it?
>>
>>343286284
You know it's on PS4 right
>>
>>343286170
By having a complete suck ass launch and 18+ months of paid beta. Don't pretend it has much merit beyond the FF brand.

>>343286398
It's not on Xbox one, the only platform that matters.
>>
>>343286519
Only because Microsoft refused to allow it unless they had their own servers. Now they're the ones asking Yoshi to let it on their console.

I tried it. Meh.

I just cant get into MMORPG's where each zone is its own instance, not after playing WoW.

It's not-WoW but is kinda WoW. It's also not F2P so it doesn't have that stigma.
>>
>415,687 subs

That sounds reasonable.
>>
>>343287370
it's WoW but at least it doesn't treat you like an idiot

>Finished moogle tribe quests and beat Nidhogg; desire to play evaporates
>Deep Dungeons are just for glamour
Thinking of waiting until 4.0.
I like the story, but the core gameplay is hot garbage.

So I just started leveling up my desyth skill. Can I use to desynth esoteric, law, and lore items?

>>343288653
deep dungeon is for welfare weapon AND glamour

>>343286170
By catering to casuals.

>>343286170
Yoshi is appealing more and more daily to the Wow. Hope you are ready to buy a lvl 60 character soon right off the bat.

>>343286170

>5 million subs
And only 400,000-500,000 of those are active. And less than 200,000 of those 5 million subs have completed all end game content. The game has seen a 93% turnover rate since launch.

KEK

2.5 second global cd
8 man raids
4 instanced bosses
24 man face roll dungeon
no resource managament (because a resource that can last for 3 minutes non stop is a non factor especially when every raid boss has downtime to recover it)
combo combat system
there are bosses with 3 telegraphs to dodge on the ground
melee dps classes can afk in the raid without doing a single mechanic


somehow, it doesnt treat you like an idiot


you are fucking braindead

I'd be more inclined to play if the gameplay wasnt ass.

Its the onlu reason I still play WoW it isnt slow as aids.
>>
>>343291202
I never bothered farming out a Horde weapon because farm parties are a shitshow, so the thought of a competitive iLv weapon is nice but there's still the issue that there's nothing to use it on (sans the absurd Alex raiding grind, which I'm not doing again).

>>343298374
I think you need a Lv50 crafter to access the moogle quests. About 2/3rds of the way to rank 7 you'll hit 60 on that class.
If you have capped levequest allowances quickly grind one class to ~10 and buy a courier leve powerleveling kit. You can hit 50 in a day.
>>
I really don't know. I got to max level and there's nothing to do. But I mostly stopped because there were no EU servers, did they implement those yet? I might check it out again if they have.
