Then you show you have a base on which to post your remarks.

I base my opinions on what I found fun in other games plus my own ideas. Most my posting is in general comments or idea threads. I try not to most in something im not gonna know or understand.

I bought the game I want it to be fun. I can post my opinons if I choose :) I want to have fun when i can play. Forums are just not for players but potential players mmo are a risk. And you do not want to spend money on a game you may not like, or has a bad community. forums are a good way to get a bit of info. do most ppl who post like the game? then ya you may like it too.

Kilta is just as interested in the future of this game as anyone, and she can certainly know what she would like to see in it. I haven't, to date, seen her comment on extreme specifics. Wanting instances different from wow is pretty general.

Edit: lol. Pardon me Kilta. *Moves off the floor*.

Forums are also good to get connection early so when you buy the game you have a "home" to go to w/o logging in and hunting. Pretty much not to be rude, but its really none of your buiness why I post here. I;m not posing or anything. Everyone knows i don;t play, but do know i own it and want to play when I can. Why do you feel it is with in your right to tell me I can't post here?


this is my stance on ffxiv
I want it to be memorable as ffxi but better then ffxi. I want tons of content that anyone of any play time can partake in. I want this game to have a cobstent influx of newbies so getting groups or doing content don't take hours to locate players.
pretty much I just want to be a fun mmo. :) And i don;t play WoW anymore. That game though I had sone fun is to solo centric and uts community is pretty nasty. When I tried gaging rp servers I got called crude names just for rping as a lvl 1.

I hope dungeons in this game are a hybrid for more of this:

yeahh exactly! I don't like the fact that in every actual encounter, you have to be for 10-15-20 min in the same pixel and spamming your abilities.. imho isn't so fun.. i'd like more dynamic fight not so frenetic as wow (there were some too crazy fight ).. for example.. let's take the new ququrn NM and the bomb baron.. I would be very happy to see something like that the bomb will release a debuff random on someone in the party, so that player should run away from to others to not kill them! Or some mini-bombs spawn that will follow someone random and will explode, so everyone must go away from it ecc ecc.. Or the quiquirn that will trow random a lot bombs on players, and when it will explode it should release something like fire on the flow.. so you have to organize your space/camp to not be in an arena of fire! Sorry for my bad english btw ;) "Like" if you'd liek to see something like the examples that i wrote :D

ill open a new thread to listen what ppl have to say about more dynamic mechanics ;)

Edit= Just opened a thread focused on the battle system (even outside dungeons) , please post there :D !

I am glad she is interested. And she has quite alot to say. I also can post my viewpoint. She has not played the game. Do I really want her suggestions on a game she has not tried to be taken seriously by developers? The answer is no. The game is working. You are able to play it. You are able to experience it. Once you experience it then you can have some knowledge. Something she says here, if she had experienced the game, she might feel differently about. I could also go on a forum of airplane mechanics and make "suggestions". The would probably laugh at me, as they should since I know nothing of it. Trying to validate non-players on a subject they know nothing about is senseless. It is insulting. I really wish they would make anyone that is able to post here a current player of the game. For those not currently playing and have suggestions they can speculate on another forum. Forum name: "I don't play but this is what I think your game needs."

Guys, please follow the topic set by the name, and do not degrade into a flame battle; the mods will not be amused.

SE has made dungeons more....accessible and unique, I suppose. Though I have not played it, FFXI's looked pretty good, I also think of Dissidia's dungeons, the underground areas in the mainstream games e.g. Cave of the Fayth, FFX. I think these dungeons will be pretty good, using that standard.

I hope they make the dungeons unique as well, not just rocks and lights and plants everywhere. An underground crystal maze, an aetherial passage underwater, rock spires twisting from the ground and ceiling....

Infact, we're going OT , post here for the aspect of dungeons.. i just opened a post focused in battle system ;)

I'd like to see dynamic and fun elements like, traps, thorns, stone that will fall from floor, secret doors etc etc :D

A way to prevent dungeons from being too WoW like is to randomize the monsters and the boss monsters you would face (Or Humanoids). so instead of "this happens at this point" we would be surprised with location and monster changes. Even have the path you have to take in the dungeon randomized each time you go in.
