FFXI crossover event comming to FFXIV

[Alhanelem]

lol Alhanelem. I've seen you defending FFXIV bad choices ever since the beta on FFXIV forums...


The amount of content Matsui has been put out with his tiny budged compared to Yoshi-P and his "top mmorpg" staff is simply amazing. In FFXIV everything feel the same, while in FFXI even content like Escha managed to have an unique feeling and it's actually exiting. I guess it has to do with FFXI having a stronger bases that allows the player to be creative and free, it has stats, JA and horizontal progression, while FFXIV is more like an exercise of repetition that gets numb after a while.

Amount of content? It's all rehashed content. It's not like they developed actual new systems for new features or anything. They're all just variations on existing themes amd mehcanics. It's no different than what's going on in FFXIV. Every FFXI update has some combination of new high tier mission fights (rehashes of old mission fights), new job points/gifts, and other BCNMs that are rehashes of existing ones (e.g. harder versions of old BCNMs, the avatars, etc.). The esha areas are literally a recolor of existing areas with different enemies and a different backstory. Ignoring these facts just speaks to your extreme bias. But, since you're lavishing FFXI with praise while bashing FFXIV, you're going to get the likes around here while more objective people like me who look at all sides get insulted (like with the opening to your response) and scorned.

Whilst saying this, I too am impressed with what the FFXI team has accomplished, but I say so without downplaying that FFXIV has done. FFXI is as fun as it's ever been, and that's why I came back- In spite of what I said above, they managed to to use the same material while adding some freshness to it. But I also enjoy and appriciate what FFXIV's team has done.

Beyond that, what you consider "bad choices" may be considered by others to be good choices. Who died and made your opinion the only one that counts? How about you stop attacking the person and try being objective for once? Your response only proves the point I made in my previous post. I'm not really even trying to defend anything so much as trying to get people to view things with a more objective eye. But it seems like I'd have more success trying to train siberian tigers.

As far as I'm concerned, SE became devoid of any passion for their games and respect for their players. Their only focus is money. FFXIV (and Yoshida) is the perfect representation of what became of SE.

I think it's pretty absurd to argue that the FFXIV team doesn't have passion for what they're making. The company may support them because it's making money, but the reason it's making money is because the team making the product is clearly passionate about what they're making. And respecting their players? Huge swaths of changes to the game are directly based on player feedback (while over here we're screaming for them to fix the BST they broke and they don't seem to be listening).

Sad thing is, the majority of FFXIV fanbase agreed with you and Yoshi-P "awesome" vision of the game back then, and look what we got. An empty game with no content and bad itemization. An exercise of numbness.

Hopefully Matsui or someone else will be put in charge of the next FF MMORPG.

There's nothing sad about a bunch of players enjoying a game. Your comments reek of hatred for the sake of such (e.g. trolling) as they have no basis in reality.

Hopefully Matsui or someone else will be put in charge of the next FF MMORPG.

Hopefully they won't ever make another one because of the resentment it will inevitably breed.
