The fantasy MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV has a total of 5 million paying players, though not at this moment, but over its entire lifetime. Additionally, a first look at Alexander, the new raid, is granted.
Player numbers are a sensitive matter. The current figures are rarely available. 5 million – this is the figure that Final Fantasy XIV has now announced as a benchmark number. However, these are not the current player numbers, but the total sum of players who have maintained a subscription over the last 21 months. These 5 million do not include players who only briefly checked in during the trial period. It’s an impressive number, though far from the 7.1 million “active paying players” of World of Warcraft.
In “Heavensward,” raiding will begin soon. The Sharylander castle ruins have suddenly come to life, as it is said. The Indigo Hand has summoned the Machina Primus. With Patch 3.01, it will be against Alexander in Final Fantasy XIV.
