Everyone is running around trying to find the new animator for pup and this is stupid when the creators of the game have all the info. The more I see the more I am losing interest in this game. Procs in Dynamis~~ bullshit!!

Enjoy the process of discovery. FFXI's primary attraction is the challenge.

A game good should have an easy learning curve and well explained system for gamers to play while exploring the world and taking on challenges. That way gamers can tell if they like the game or not. That way a gamer could tell if he enjoys the system or not.

A game shouldn't be difficult to understand and lack the explanation to how to play.
Exploring the game world and taking on challenges is One thing, but lacking information on how each content is made to play is another.

Lack of information is part of the development team's fault, not the gamers.

I can see how Powder and other people like myself could be frustrated when it comes to new contents that everyone is trying so hard to figure out due to SE giving us an Incomplete content.

Its our job to play the game's content and enjoy it for what it is, Not try to figure out how it works without any legit info.

I need to interrupt you right here. Not all good games have an easy learning curve. Maybe all games that you like have an easy learning curve, but that's a matter of opinion, not good game design!

FFXI has been out for nine years. There are enough podcasts, blogs, video streams, and youtube videos that you should be able to tell if you will or won't like the game before you ever start.

FFXI has always been an extremely challenging game where players need to work together and collaborate and share information to get things done. In the past four years the level of challenge has markedly decreased, at least for lower levels, but FFXI is still one of the more challenging games around.

Actually it's part of the development team's genius -- it gets players to work together to share information. It encourages community.

We are not generally given 'an Incomplete content.' We are given content, and then given free reign to figure it out. To work together to do so.




This is not World of Warcraft. This is FINAL FANTASY XI Online. Prosper together or get K.O.'d alone.

FFXI has always been an extremely challenging game...

FFXI has never been a challenging game. For a long time it has been a game where you need the 'right' job to accomplish a task. Jumping through hoops to beat content does not mean a game is more difficult. Case in point the early CoP days all the bosses were easy if you had the proper jobs. A Crystaline Prophesy end boss was easy with the right jobs along as with all the content on FFXI. That is not a challenge it is artificial bumps that lead to a work based grind. Despite of that I personally have found FFXI to be an enjoyable game.

P.S as for finding all of the content out ourselves. I am willing to bet 99.9% of the players wait for someone else to figure it out and just use wiki or forums to tell them how to complete missions, quests, or new systems. I've never experienced game content on here that was older than two days were people was not rushing others to skip reading and discouraging exploring.

FFXI has never been a challenging game.

When did you join? You weren't trying to XP before PLs came into vogue, were you? Or trying to hit 75 before ToAU (much less CoP) came out? Back before there was an FFXI wiki and people had to wait for ffxi.allkazham.com to update, or sift through the KillingIfrit forums for information.



P.S. There will always be people who don't care about the story, about exploration. Hey guess what -- don't team up with them and you'll have a better time.

This is how FFXI has been since day one. It's one of the reasons i actually like the game.
