Twinfinite writes: So many people love the Final Fantasy series —that much is obvious. But not everyone embraced the two MMORPGs. In fact, a lot of non-fans are still miffed that Final Fantasy XI and Final Fantasy XIV are numbered entries. The truth, though, is that while I understand not everyone appreciates MMORPG, both FFXI and FFXIV had excellent music.
The latest update for Final Fantasy XI Online, the 'November Update', is now live across all platforms where the game is playable.
Can't believe this game is still getting updates 21 years after it launched. That's crazy! XI remains the only main numbered FF that I haven't played.
Wish they'd release it for PS4, 5, Xboxes and Switch - it ran on ps2 and still works on potato PCs so should run well everywhere
Live service games are vehemently criticized and companies need to rethink & prioritize respectful game design for consumer benefit.
Gabe says not being publicly owned is a huge part of what makes Valve so successful.
"The whole point of being a privately held company is to eliminate another source of noise in the signal between the consumers and producers of a good."
Looks at Destiny 2 > I used to go into a store to find a game. Now I go into a game and find a store.
"Bungie reportedly expressed concerns over how engaging The Last of Us multiplayer project was"

That's kind of the GaaS whole thing, though. This is like telling wolves to stop behaving like wolves.
The issue is that journalists mostly ignored this issue as it was arising. Games like Overwatch were considered exciting until lesser news websites and organisations began taking opinion pieces on the problem. From then it’s just gotten worse.
This is why I won't spend money on a lot of these games, not only do they nickle and dime you at every opportunity, but a lot of these games have a very short life span, not many of them survive for multiple years like Fortnite has.
I also feel like most MMOs in generally are more aqueduct in terms of content, for what you pay, I feel like a lot of them give you a decent amount to enjoy.
You’ve saved Eorzea in Final Fantasy XIV Online: A Realm Reborn and resolved a centuries’ old conflict with the dragons in Heavensward… what’s next for the Warrior of Light?
It’s time to head to the Far East. It’s time for Stormblood. And from now until May 8, 2023, this massive expansion is completely free for players who own or buy the Final Fantasy XIV Online Starter Edition!

I still play them to this day.
It's not the usual Twinfinite special of 10 or more pages, it's 2 pages of five. This is more acceptable.
As for the article, it's not a bad list. I imagine a first-rate Final Fantasy fan knows these, but I enjoyed what I heard.
Of course FFXI & FFXIV are legitimately numbered entries
