Too bad they didn't base 14 off of 12. I think it would have been great. Imagine character progression based off of the license board. Talk about a free form class system lol. Not to mention I've been itching for an mmo set in ivalice for a while :(

No one will care if it's a rumor.
If it's true, FFXIV will be in a big gamble again.
When FFXIV launch in China, of course all of us(US/JP/EU) need to pay just like Chinese, that is common sense.
But launch in just 3 months... I'm so worry what FFXIV going to look like.
But who knows, perhaps when SE has monthly income, dev team will update monthly and aggressively as well.
Nothing comes in free i guess, even without Isghard.
Well I'm paying "when they do" for at least 3 months to see where it goes when they get a monthly income out of it. I mean 39 bucks is worth to see what they can make out of it.. if not well.. things happen.. its better than going to a casino and blowing cash away like some people do in this world lol.
12 is not a Final Fantasy, its a Star Wars game. It shares too many similarities with the original star wars trilogy story, and it plays too much like Knights of the Old republic. It is an extremely good game, but "Final Fantasy" it is not. Lost Odyssey now thats a Final Fantasy < < . . . > >
Why do I have a feeling we are starting to see what we saw last year.. oh it's ok, SE will release this awesome patch which will add tons of content and fix everything in game. Let's all go and buy the game.. yeah right. I guess some people are simply born as blinded fanboys. Well every company needs fans like this which will buy anything =]
17173.com is a subsidiary of sohu.com (nasdaq: sohu). in chinese, it's similar in sound to "yi qi yi qi shang" (一起一起上) which loosely translates to let's advance together.
Official or I won't believe..
If they released a massive patch with tons of content... it would be a disaster. C'mon the latest patch had barely anything in it and still took about 7 hours to download! They better fix their updater before releasing any major patches or we will be waiting to play for days.
There's a reallllly easy answer to that.
That tells you everything you need to know about the probability of such a rumor even remotely true.Quote:
We will look into it
I'd rather pay for a giant cockroach to that pay for a content-less game.
Is there anyone left on these forums that doesn't have Gifthorse/Vesperia on ignore yet?
Dont /slap me ; ; I was making a point against XII.
so we start paying aug 14th means the game is finally out of beta or the population is gonna shrink.
took me less than 10mins, you need to setup your ports or get a better connection.Quote:

I think ppl get slow DL speeds because the patcher gets congested (happen in ffxi) when I updated my game, took me 1hr mostly because I had to get admin PW and restart it XD. So far I haven't had an issue so far. Try waiting till the next day if you get a slow DL.
As for content etc. They are adding some wuth and after battle changes. If they add too much too soon people will just burn through it that much faster. Plus it would be a bit dumb that ps3 users who were suppose to be on with pc useres get to play massive catch up due to pc ppl feeling they need an expack with ps3 launch. Like everyone most @ least myself, wanted to play a "fresh" game not a game with a years worth of content and most of the player base is maxed out. We/I want a game to grow with. :) Not play content catch up where most of the player base is ahead and it is hard to get people for content i'm on.
Sorry even in wow i opening my ports to download patch faster is not a fail :) i can download FFXIV patch less then 30mins vs everyone else who don't want to open there ports 1-10hours lol now that a fail.
@Vahzl i have both of them on blocklist i think everyone have them on blacklist lol
@Kilta_Firelotus lol PS3 version would need to catch up anyways does not matter. If PS3 does not have a big patch or a pack you buy for 30$ then FFXIV have no hope. I hoping they release New rise in cap and new jobs on ps3 release and release male and female of the race. Also Mail box, and a way to change our looks in the game.
Maybe SE told these guys to mention it as a rumour (or did it secretly without them knowing) just so that they could find out our opinions without directly asking us XD
this game needs dungeons. and I'm not just talking about instanced dungeons. they need castle freaking zvhal. I wouldnt drop a dime on just running from city to city through pretty fields.
I must compliment Yoshi-P on everything he has done to turn this game around. A lot of the changes are welcome and much needed. Looking forward to the new battle system.
But a massive LOL to them if they think this game has enough content to get me to start paying monthly for it. Unless there is a lot of stuff that hasn't been announced yet. What I really want in a MMO is a big diverse playground to run around and do various things in. I'm sorry, but I'm bored to tears with the 3 starter zones and the other 2 zones really aren't appealing to me, cause I assume they are just more of the same environments copy/paste'd to make the area be 5 times bigger than it should.
FFXI got me excited to explore new areas. FFXI got me motivated to level so I could get high enough to go to new areas. FFXIV feels like a big chore right now. I level for the sake of leveling, not because I really want to. I do it, cause there isn't anything else to do. Hate to bring it up, but with TOR on the horizon and LotrO's expansion, SE needs to sell me on this game. I'm not paying for 3 MMO's at a time and right now, FFXIV is a very distant third in terms of exciting me about what's coming.
Actually, I didn't find any reason that make me stay in FF14 anymore...
I will look for Tera...
I can see the ps3 launching around august or September, or maybe a beta test in august and release in September similar to how it was last year for the pc version. But don`t be surprised if there is no beta since unlike with the pc where everyone has different hardware, drivers, OS and so on, the PS3 is the same for everyone. We already know the PC and PS3 will use the same servers so long as the game itself is polished and they create a polished ps3 version that runs fine on their ps3, it will work on all ps3 and there really wouldn't be a need for a ps3 beta.
Nope you have to go to your Firewall and allow it to be forward but it set up there for your use tho :) my routers have blizzard ports i just have to put it on which computer i want to use it. So at the end you still have to do it by going to your Routers firewall even setting it up take no more then 5mins i should know i have my own 512Slot TS3 and 8slot Vent host on one of my computer if ppl don't want to do it then ok deal with the slow download to SE fix it then ;;

You seem to forget mmo are on going and can release more content after ps3 launch. By everyones standers in this thread. the game needs 8 years wth of content before it is pay worthy. At least thats what it read to me.
MMO are never finish always ongoing projects. They only delayed ps3 for 2 reason ram, and to "fix" the pc version not add to it. Personally I feel there is enough content (after the introduction of dungeons) to launch the ps3 version. Then they can add more content a mnth after. And an expac by next year. It isn;t SE fault you burn through comtent. :)
Ps you must have forgoten they doing a welcome back event. And do plan on adding the missing genders. by ps3 .
Nothing has changed since release and people hated the game at release. If they release the PS3 version and SE is met with the exact same response, then this game is over. PS3 is the game's only hope.
But they need to beat Blade&Soul to market so I guess we will be seeing another rushed release LOL.
This whole idea of... I need to beat X mmo to the market is sorta stupid.
Unless the games are direct clones of each other, the timing of the release means nothing... And I feel safe to say the people who will play ffxiv will stay with this game, those who want a game like B&S or Tera will go to those games.... no matter when SE releases the PS3 version.
B&S = Action MMO, FFXIV = MMORPG completely different styles of game play and focus.
That and I do not see B&S going anywhere in the west, it will be another Korean only smash hit like every other NCSoft game.
That and if you look at the release dates of most SE games, including FFXIV they pretty much allign to the end of fiscal quarters for thier company... FFXIV was released right at the end of the 2nd quarter last year, which allowed SE to recognize the profits for that quarter.
they also needed to do it before DCU and Rift according to people
and cata
but guess what, those games didnt mean anything, any future MMos wont mean anything to this one either
the game will go on ps3 when it is ready, theres no point in "trying to beat" other mmos to the punch
the people who are going to try those other MMOs are gonna do it regardless of release dates
Is the game Final Fantasy related?
Is the game released for PS3?
Is the game developed in Japan ('cause JP's don't play anything else)?
If the answer is no, there is no competition to be had.
jusdt because you think some content is dumb don't mean it is universally dumb. I didn;t like ffxi endgame. Yet I enjoyed ffxi fo 8 years. You do not need to release the ps3 with uber content that will get burnt through. Content will alwaus going to be adeed after all these fixes happen. Thois game is ongoing will always be fixed, tweak, content being added. the furst year of any mmo is always the hardest, just like in life with new companies and products. As for server pop I blame more the community then the game. PPl kept chasing ppl away or thwy read too much into cynic cry babies. I'm having fun as is. I'm not rushing and doing everyquest right now, i'm not rushing my leveling. I just wish people talked more in game. The community feels like a dead WoW server. No one talking. So far only the japanese talk in game. And i can't read japanese to join them.
TERA is releasing in Japan shortly. I dont think they would bother releasing it if there was no market there. JP people seem pretty open to playing the game.
Im not saying that this means FFXIV will lose subscribers, Im just saying that making a blanket generalisation of all japanese people while casting aspersions on their MMO preferences is kind of presumptuous.
