What's up? |

FF14 achieved a feat which had never been achieved in game industry. |
![]() |
What's that feat? |
![]() |
I need to tell you something first. |
![]() |
And it is? |
![]() |
Standard Edition's cancel rate is over 75%. |
![]() |
Cancel rate of Collector's Edition is 40%, Standard Edition is much poor huh... |
![]() |
Collector's Edition only has its value until the release of Standard Edition. But the stock is still remaining at store till now. I have walked around some big store and the stock is enough. There will be a bargain sale soon. |
![]() |
So how about that feat? |
![]() |
The feat is, FF14 is the first game which its sales is too poor due to the will of gamers. |
![]() |
Really!? |
![]() |
Let me explain. There are many games sale badly, and the store won't even buy in those stock. If the stock overestimate the sales, there will be a bargain sale. That will happen too when the maker force the retailer to sell more. Such cases is the problem of seller. But... |
![]() |
But? |
![]() |
This time, the pre-order situation is normal, but later many are cancelled. Many stores had increased the stock of Standard Edition when they saw the pre-order situation at the beginning, but the result is poor. |
![]() |
Cancel rate is terrible. |
![]() |
This time there is no overestimate, but gamers refuse to buy it after pre-order. This is a new phenomenon. |
![]() |
Never happen before? |
![]() |
Never. In the past, Internet was not available and we couldn't get info. We could only know the game is funny or not after we bought it. Nowadays we can find comments on Internet, but if there is no demo, we can't trust the comments alone, so we would buy the game if we pre-order it. |
![]() |
How about games with demo or shown in event? |
![]() |
Even such games have never create such phenomenon. |
![]() |
So what's the reason this time? |
![]() |
Too many problems. Firstly, beta test is boring. User interface is too bad. Developers lying. The naming is strange, maybe due to outsourcing. They changed the traditional terms of FINAL FANTASY series into some strange Chinese characters. The overall attitude of SQUARE ENIX made us refuse to buy it. |
![]() |
As for the naming, they have changed it. |
![]() |
It's too late. It's the problem of their attitude. Online game is a long relationship with developer and we can't trust them anymore. |
![]() |
Oh... |
![]() |
It is meaningful to see such a failure in the glorious FINAL FANTASY series. Gamers' agreement on refuse to buy a game. A new legend in game industry huh. |
