As I read from a review on gamespot, FF14 has succesfully flopped:D

Release Date: September 22, 2010

The only good thing about it was the graphics, while basically everything else was a complete disappointment, giving it a rating of 4.0(poor)...

The Good

  • Impressive visual engine
  • Flexible class system lets you be what you want, when you want.

The Bad

  • Absolutely miserable interface
  • Does a poor job of communicating important information
  • Limited questing means you're always looking for something fun to do
  • Everything about the economy stinks
  • Every aspect of the game is filled with dumb obstacles.
When the simple act of creating an account for the massively multiplayer online game you just bought is a convoluted mess, you know you're in trouble. It's unfortunate that the first impression you have of Final Fantasy XIV is so indicative of the experience at large. It's hard to miss these gaffes--the bizarre and unfriendly method of getting an account set up, the troublesome patcher, having to exit the game if you want to adjust the graphics settings, and so on. These might have been forgivable flaws had developer Square Enix provided an excellent reason to overcome these obstacles, but in fact, they set the stage for a misguided effort that uses its atrocious interface and tortuous mechanisms to veil its core simplicity and unending repetition. The brighter aspects speak to the MMOG that might have been. A robust graphics engine gives your travels some razzle-dazzle, an open-ended class system offers welcome flexibility, and a focus on storytelling makes the initial hours more bearable than they may have been otherwise. But these minor peaks are outweighed by abyssal valleys of aimlessness and unfriendliness. Final Fantasy XIV isn't fun; it's work.

IGN gave it a score of 5.5......

That seems to sum up FF14 pretty well:)

Well, 14 was an MMO and MMOs suck, Secondly FF13 was in no way a failure, It was criticized for being different but It wasn't a failure by any means.

@Final Flop :p
