ok here is my view on the Wow vs. FF games stuff...

you have WoW as the main thing for warcraft...I bet most the people on there never even played any of the other warcrafts, even after someone says they should

FFXI isnt the only game in that series thats memoriable....most people(the sane ones)would rather play the other games than sit on XI all night long

so in the majority of the games played in the series'

Warcraft WoW, and maybe warcraft 3 maybe
FF XI 12 dissidea 7 8 6 9 4 2 1

in the long run square has no need to fight online battles...they got the offline set for a very long time
