They did the final save too early. Many people still had a laundry list of things they wanted to do, but after the final save there was no point logging on, so the population declined.

I guess...

Im sure some people will be happy enough to put up with some framerate drops, even if it isnt ideal, and if it still persists as an issue in beta, im sure SE will try to rectify it. The main reason...

Namely zone sizes, textures, shaders. It's a little hard to tell if polycount was reduced too, but certainly seems that way on some of the buildings in gridania at least. Zone size is probably the...

Too late now or they would have downgraded everything for nothing. Probably half the reason they even redesigned the graphical engine from scratch was for ps3 purposes, so scrapping it would be...

I kind of disagree about the concept of "equal balance" between solo and multiplayer play. There needs to be a "balance" sure, but one which befits a Massively Multiplayer game. That balance may be...

Well I didn't mean to rain on your parade. Obviously you have a very intense emotional attachment to your faith in ARR, so I hope all the people who were freaking out didn't hurt your feelings when...

Pretty sure freaking out means something different than people simply commenting on stuff they observe. Besides, most people were dealt a lesson on giving SE the benefit of the doubt with version...

To be fair, they might not have been "freaking out" though, they might just have seen something and then expressed a concern about what they saw. Which is probably more productive and constructive...

Did they dumb down the combat "because of PvP" though? I think you might need to qualify that statement. It seems like a strange decision for them to make in the first place. I can understand...

Couldn't they just apply a whole new formula to PvP calculations so it would have zero bearing on PvE? I'm sure if they're smart about it, they could figure a way to divide both aspects (PvE and...

I wonder if that developer/translator uses every meme under the sun in his blogs to sound ironic, or if he learnt the english language on 4chan.

A guess a little personal input wouldn't be remiss to make it feel like you're actually an active participant. But is it really so bad to be a silent observer, anyway? I think it's a bit better...

We might have been a little prettier in 1.0. Faces seemed a little more detailed in 1.0, and the shading was more subtle and nuanced.

I'm not sure what the official stance is on this anymore because they say they are adding them and then don't. Yoshi said at some point long ago that they were still working on the leather and fur...

I don't think someone could fairly say that's at the same level as FFXIV 1.0, but it does seem like an improvement to the other picture you posted. The hairstyle is interesting too. I wonder what...

The point of "Long term goals" is the most important issue you raise.

I don't know if there's much room in the framework of the game they've laid out for there to be a solution to it, though. I...

That seems almost more convoluted.

I think it's better to just have job stones as a system of equip-able abilities as it stands now. The current iteration of jobs still has a sense of progression...

I assume they had to keep the graphics bad for PS3 reasons, and don't have enough time (or are too lazy) to make separate assets for PC.

Yoshi has had copious amounts of opportunities to reveal information about ARR 's core philosophy. Every time he has used these opportunities to say "a themepark game like World of Warcraft with...

In regards to the OP, SE have already given details on the game direction: "WoW themepark with more FF feels." That's not a direct quote, but close enough.

I think the reason they probably don't...

It is difficult, unless you just implement it in an instance like ARR. Few games really have or have had persistent, meaningful housing features. Instanced housing is the easy option, but just...

FFXIV: ARR has competition from basically every up and coming game due solely to the fact that they all seem to offer more progressive features. But I'm sure there's still a market for FFXIV: ARR. ...

ARR needs less WoW/TERA quest spam and more this:

Probably Siren manipulating a Walker of the Path to do her bidding or something.

I saw some people doing Rivenroad the other day in Grid, and some poor noob levelling his Thaumaturge who didn't know his progress was not being saved.
