FFXI has macros without having to resort to a third party tool, and I'd do not appreciate being called a cheater for knowing how to use those macros to be a better player.Quote:

Even something braindead simple like macroing in gear for WS or different staffs isn't that hard and doesn't make you blink like the holiday lighting on an evergreen. Even if you are only doing simple gear swaps only a tiny bit of the time, your effectiveness skyrockets (and swapping all the time has diminishing returns anyways) and you never have to touch a third party tool to do it. I'm quite lazy about playing the game the majority of the time, but it would be quite irresponsible if I only wore my haste or cure potency set 100% of the time.
Nerfing Ukko/Vsmite so lazy players can be more useful?

12-25-2011, 01:14 AMwish12ozSpeaking of people not buying FF games! I just saw this news story about how bad the sales are for FF13-2. Maybe SE will get a clue soon.Quote:

Opening paragraph really says it all.
"Final Fantasy XIII-2′s first week sales figures reveal it has been outsold by Tales of Xillia, a fact which is being greeted as a massive humiliation and confirmation that the Final Fantasy brand now lies in ruins." -

Tales of Xillia sold 525,605 in its first week
First week numbers. It is a big deal. A series that always does over 1mil at launch just did half that. Even FF13 did 1.5. Tales is not that big, FF is suppose to be. -

Agreeing with Wish, not just FF13-2 but FFXIII's 8 week sales total was less than X-2, that's astoundingly bad.

I'm not saying the numbers aren't good, but comparing it to a Tales series game which are very big games in JP is really stretching it.

Comparing it to previous FFs XXIII sold less than X-2, and that was the second worse FF in terms of first 8 week sales. There's just no defending that.
FFXIII-2 also happened to sell less than Tales of Xillia's in its opening week when pretty much every other FF's opening sales were almost/greater than double Xillia's. -
12-25-2011, 03:36 AMwish12ozThe problem I have with your statement is that FF games outsell Tales games 3 to 1, and you're saying Tales games are big and its not a big deal. It clearly is a big deal as FF games should outsell Tales games 3 to 1, but instead Tales is outselling FF.Quote:

It's gotten to the point where I wouldn't even be upset if SE went under. Maybe Wada will panic and clean house and Tanaka will get tossed out with the trash.
