FFXIV set to release?

[Sizzle]

Most mmos are rush released due to a lack of $$ to develop, as we have seen with the likes of vanguard and warhammer. Square Enix I'm sure, does not lack the resources to create a MMO. Besides that this franchise is already VERY popular and FFXI still has a very strong player base. In a press release, released in 2009, it was stated that FINAL FANTASY XI has a robust community of 500,000 subscribers and more than 1.7 million player characters from around the world. For a game released in May 2002 (jp), Nov 2002 (us) its pretty interesting to see that the game is still this popular. Furthermore if anyone has played 11 as of recent they have been making a lot of changes in that game to test certain aspects they want to implement into 14 not to mention this game has been in the works for a very long time. Also from the time to time that I have gone back and played 11 they are very active in keeping RMT down and making tweaks and fixes to balance the game. I have always enjoyed 11 and I have high expectations of 14. From what I have seen and read about the game I cannot wait to see it.
