Jokes about Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn being too successful were abound during the game’s launch server issues, but according to Naoki Yoshida, it has been quite successful indeed.
During the Producer Live Letter at the Tokyo Game Show, Yoshida gave a glimpse at the present and future states of the game. Dual Shockers has all the info for you to peruse, but here are some statistics:
