It's become a chore to even log on to the game

You want to change it based on your needs and expectations. You "need to show them the truth", right?

Maybe this relevation will blow your mind, so be prepared and take a seat:

This is not your game.

It's not your game either, to make changes that many people can enjoy without fringing on other peoples enjoyment is key for this game.

I don't remember any Final Fantasy games having filler content in the stories, unless you meant random battles? Those were somewhat irritating at times when you just wanted to experience the story or explore, but I'd hardly call them filler since there were items to lessen/stop battles weren't there?

Or am I just remembering another JRPG? Haha

I like to live with facts and the fact is that the last time i was this invested in a final fantasy title it was with FF 10. I'm also not that huge of a fan of MMO's. This game give's me feelings about a FF title that I never found again after FFX, so yeah, it's worthy of the final fantasy title.

I respect your opinion, and on some points I'd agree but on many others I'd have to disagree, hence why I made the post.

As someone who doesn't discriminate against FF titles, this game is far from the FF standard imo. It's an imitator.

Forums are a great source for situational information, update specifications, multimedia and general chatter with the browsing minority of fellow players. Ah yes, most of the subscribed players actually never visit here.

When you start noticing a solid group of people raging and downplaying a game, remember that their sole intend is to annoy. There is no arguing their dislike, they are done. That’s all there is to it.

Look at it from another angle and see a group people burning through games as if there is no worthwile tomorrow, complaining about what they are doing to themselves. Wasting. It's a vicious cycle, somewhat comparable that of an addict. At the last phase, they blame everything but themselves.

The message? Just a general reminder. Enjoy yourselves. Arguing online with the intend to clash, what is that about? If people turn around it’s not because of some savior post on a forum. Let bygones be bygones. Spend your free time on things you enjoy. With that being said

I'm not here to call people names such as "addict" for addressing my concerns, and hoping for positive discussion. There is no rage here. (Read *Straw Man Argument*)

I personally believe the game has alot of flaws, flaws that don't justify me paying monthly for a game I'm not fully enjoying. There's still lots of content in the game for me to "burn through", I'd rather not though. It's not my cup of tea.

I enjoy alot of the things this game does and would like to see it grow beyond its flaws, a projected future SE hasn't said they would address.

I wanted to reply to this specifically. :>

IMHO, interesting mechanics would definitely be something like Sunken Temple of Qarn boss fights. They're fun and require thought, but aren't an internet-connectivity-based dodgefest (i.e. Titan HM, as one example). Qarn is tricky, but fun and doable. Titan HM, you have to play basically flawlessly. That's probably what ppl complain about when they say it's too hard. ;o Maybe I am wrong.

Button smashing? LOL This game is no where near what I have seen as button smashing (Ever play killer instinct? Now THAT'S button smashing)

Anywho, this thread is just a spawn of many Satan's so I'm done here. Have fun in the game dude.

I feel the same way. Made a thread about it myself, even. My problem is that most of the content feels so similar (move to a mob/group of mobs, cycle rotation until they're dead while avoiding the red stuff, move on to the next mob/group) that it makes everything as a while feel tons more monotonous than it should. If there were more to it, I could see myself exited to log on again like I used to be (and want to be).

I can't even get myself pumped up for the new content because it just feels more of the same to me.
