So... why aren't you playing Final Fantasy XIV?

[Runespider]

The difference since FFXIV release really isn't much better than it used to be. They got better over the years but not just because of how FFXIV failed.

We had road maps before FFXIV. The only stuff the staff on here talk about is stuff most players that have been here a while know already or stuff that is coming in the impending update. They don't answer hard questions or things people genuinly want to know, you just get bits and pieces.

Is it?

Only if you're the same person :3
but in seriousness I was under the impression that a ban is for the person not the toon and that the rule isn't well enforced.

toon

CHARACTER!!! NOT TOON! THIS ISN'T DAFFY DUCK AND BUGS BUUNY!!

sorry. I can't stand seeing the word 'toon' in reference to an RPG character.

There's too many concrete reasons for me to waste time listing here.

But the biggest reason was how the Beta and subsequent game launch went. It was clear that there was hardly anything in the game to do and the systems needed lots of work but they didn't care. The problems were too big to be ignorance or something else. That spoke loudly to me saying if their fundamental character dealing with the game would be such than there's no good reason to expect any better. I don't see myself ever playing FFXIV I'm turned off for good.

The game just way to laggy for one, no content, no ah , gear is basicly worthless, no real job uniqueness, no airships or chocobos, no auto attack, surnames suck and make sending a tell more of a hassel then is should be, linkshell systems sucks badly. Need i say more because thats not all.

I have a toon there. I didn't like the bugs at the beginning. I check in every now and then. Especially when there's a "patch" released. I like the changes Yoshi-P and Co. have brought about, but I want to wait til there's more content. When I play there full time, I want it to be when I have enough to do there, that I can leave FFXI for good. I hope that is soon cause I bought a $3500 macbook pro just to play the game on. Either more content or PS3 release so i can duo box is what I'm waiting on.

because i can play ffxi on my laptop. i'm forced to play ffxiv on my desktop. I'm also never home, so FFXI it is

[Lexin]

Because it's not on PS3 yet....

I still have my XIV account active but the two things that annoy me the most:

1- No communication / Search.

2 - Terrible, terrible music. I used to love Uematsu, but he needs to take a break or change careers Weird electric/synth music in battles in a fantasy setting is just too weird for me ...don't get me started on Ul'dah's music > EW!

one of FFXI problems made it's way to FFXIV and made it worse:

I do not understand how you can sit there and say "we learn from our past mistakes and will have seamless zoning.." when that is not the case. Frankly I feel lied too, i feel it was made in a vacuum of information.

how can you have no search function?
how can you have lag so bad i get 2000 tp when i hit the button at 1000 tp?
how can you make a game a worse grind fest then the older game?
Why does text still vanish after some commands?

I think ul'dah's music is very fitting, The boat city is strange to me.

music is prob the best part of the game lol, along with the class system ideas.
the mage jobs are strange though, it would be FFXI equivalent of having 2 SCH with slightly different spells, and using the other spell set to complete them.

Runespider has a point, fictional chrs like taru and mithra would not move like humans lol.
