Necromancing the stone
LOL, you do realise that most gamers in the market these days are casual, the market for hadcore MMO's is so small they aren't worth developing for any longer, yes maybe there is a trend of casual mmos making a quick buck and dying out fast but as long as the company make a profit i doubt they care.
Yoshi-p is making a theme park and theme parks make lots of money /sarcasm.
P.s. If you want that old school kick in the nuts from a game go play FF11.
Let this thread die in a fire please, and ban whoever necro'd a 4 month old thread.
this thread is dumb. wanna know why the game failed upon release? it wasn't because it was too hardcore, it was because it wasn't even 50% finished. the thing didn't even feature sorting your inventory for pete's sake.
think a hardcore game can't succeed? demon's souls. game of the year.
dark souls. breaking sales since release.
old or not maybe u dont' get how they changed ffxi.. people keep repeating this but they still keep insisting ffxi is the place to go. also i left cause the game is 5years old, besides that i can care less if the world went casual, a theme park is a place u go once in awhile, you spend every dollar even on the few things you might enjoy.each area is made for different people to suck up your money. i live 5minutes from the boardwalk, you think i go there everyday to play balloon pop or skeet ball.
having half the content being something you don't enjoy doesn't get more people, least not people that will stay. that theme park magic he is spitting down your throat will wear off and then you still have just casual, or just people who enjoy hard content. jack of all trades, crappy at all i think is the saying. he even said that the next moogle battle will be harder then ifrit, you see a repetition there right? harder it seems for each one. questionably it will be who leaves and who don't and as the op says who it's made for.
also i don't even remember what the op wrote or what this thread was about ...good necro. but your points are ...pointless, repetitive garbage everyone keeps repeating. i think i made my point in the old post, we'll have to see how the game changes, and who stays and who will leave. and even then how long the game will even last since not many dont' seem to die out quickly. i know ffxi didn't. also there was no words of 2.0 before, i think the game might be great at 2.0, also most players can't even win dungeons so ...only real prob i have with this game is ..it's 1.5years away lol. but i'll wait, weither i'm in game or not, or if i take small breaks. i'm going no wear, maybe you should go back to ffxi since they made it a easy and boring game i hear.
i don't think it was cause it was too hardcore, i think it was cause... No one could PL, no one could go afk to get leveled, no one could stare at there tv as easy and play, and you couldn't really duel bot. and like 90% of you want these things, yaaaaay.
demon souls was great, but i bet they get so many sales cause of all the word of mouth on how hard it is that everyone has to try it, or try the new one lol. jk but really fun game.
