how many people play?

Greetings from the bottom!  Ive been sitting this one out but i had a notion to test so on day one I went to the beginner tower and got myself a whopping 3 points.

by end of day 1 i was ranked somewhere around 3500.
day 2 and 3 sat me nicely at 4k

I'm currently ranked     8058

So i figure the game has about 4000 relatively active players and a total between 8-10 accounting for new people not up for tower yet and people who didn't like the rewards.

Thoughts?

There ain't lots of people playing FF. Only 500k the game has been downloaded when BB has been downloaded 15 MILLION TIMES!!! And its almost FF's 1st Anniversary . BB's 1st Anniversary had a Million downloads by then.

The ranking for FF on top grossing games for Google Play keep rising though (currently at #155), which I guess is a good thing. Of course, that could just be that the longevity of mobile phone games in general is pretty short, so it may be rising because other games are precipitously falling.

I think it's the name. FF doesn't draw as much attention as BB, also I guess more people like the mythical styled creatures rather than the futuristic look of FF. but I think more people will start to play FF once they realize the similarity of the game to BB. that game just got too overcrowded where top ranked people slap down the cash and stay there. I thinks also goes back to what iiry said about a more comprehensive story background that links the sometime seem unrelated characters together in FF. that will make it more fun.

Well said Duave.

To the point Ryback was making yesterday about the graphics, With the broad appeal of outsourcing, the lack of graphical continuity could be the result of different teams doing the work and the nature "artists" have to put their stamp on what they produce within their craft (graphical, words, software, etc)

Also, the disparity may be from the size of the populations familiar with the "Dungeons & Dragons" realm vs. the "Gamma World" realm. Sounds like BB is D&D while FF is GW.
