Happy with this amazing game

I felt like I should post this, since I see WAY too many bad threads with insults, discouragement, and negative feelings towards this game.

First off, yeah, I absolutely LOVE this game. Its worth every cent.

The graphic style is amazing, it makes you feel at home (im talking about you, old FF players)

Music? amazing aswell.

Costumes and accesory design? brilliant. It fits FF.

Just..man, I get so happy everytime I play it. I encounter fun people, or I Que for an instance and im paired with people that dont mind dying, we all have fun learning the ways of the game..
Or I just walk around Ul', find new people, emote, laugh, talk...

While the gameplay it is indeed not so creative, and already overused...I couldnt care less.
PVP is broken and useless? yeah, it'll get fixed, whatever.
But it is the rest of the things you CAN do in this game that makes it fantastic.

Only thing you have to do (at least it works for me) is not to take it as "im playing to get the best armors and be the best player in the server. i'll own everyone" just go slow and enjoy the beautiful and well planned scenery, or go around costa del sol, or the outer maps of limsa really, and admire that castle from afar.
Find new friends, chat, interact with others..

That's so sublime.

If you feel like, please do share the things that you like about this game! or nice, fun stories that happened to you

A lot of players like this game. I am glad you wanted to brighten up the forums. The people here may post negatively but at the heart of it. they just are throwing suggestions that would make them happier. They still enjoy many of the elements you posted. So dont think there all bad. They just have a bad way of showing their affection toward the game.

But yes. this game is amazing. I have favorite locations I like to visit depending on the time of day. the night sky can really be pretty.

It's the most engaging game I've played in 20+ years of serious gaming. It has many activities I like to do and I am excited for the future of this game, it keeps getting better.

I'm still not bored with the game right now, as I mentioned in some other threads. I have one character from 1.0, but I have been enjoying playing on a fresh character (still on my same server) and going at my own pace. I'm in no rush whatsoever, even with my 1.0. The longer I wait (I know I'll get left behind), the more content I can do when that time comes.

Yay!
+ some other words to get over 10 character minimum

Finally some positive posts.

+1 op

I've said it many times here in General Discussion, but: I'm still really happy with this game. ^^

I share your sentiments.:D

As far as all the negatives threads it's just hot air. There have been threads created for months now about "I'm canceling my sub and this game will never make it"...

Ya, they've been replaced tenfold (if they even actually left) and disproven every single time. It's the way of the mmo hopping younger generation. They do this with every single game they play. Pay them no mind.

Instead become active in the objective, well thought out, civil and mature threads that make suggestions for in game changes. Those are the threads that will hopefully enhance the future experiences, and ironically enough, cause the hoppers to come back again whining and moaning about xyz.

Pretty humorous when you think about it :confused:

Happy, sure why not.

Bored out of my mind after Monday, absolutely. I guess I could finish my last 2 gather/crafts then grind my chocobo levels :/

A shorter way of putting this would be: If you are not a Final Fantasy fan, then 75% of this game is lost on you. The sooner the daisy hoppers realise this and go away the better.

nope the game suxxorz OP
this gaem has failed
lol f2p in X months
1.x/FFXI did it better
more pointless QQ

Couldn't you have picked one of the thousands of negative threads instead of trying to take the fresh air out of this one??

On topic, I too am happy with this amazing game! I recently had a very bad experience with another player that has kept me away from the game for a few days. But I realized today that in this case, its okay to hate the player, not the game.

It's the people I've met in my FC that make me love the game so much. It's a tight knit FC, and as long as we stay together I will continue my journey in Eorzea!

Thank you all for those warm replies. I'm glad most of you guys share my feelings!

I forgot to mention about the sky, noata. thank you for reminding me.

The skies! the climates! man, that's just another amazing feature (that is implemented perfectly, if I must say)

-Small story

On my first week in this game, I was hanging around Eastern Thanalan, when suddenly some guy starts stalking me, and whispering "YAY I FOUND ANOTHER SOREN!" among other things.
That took me by surprise. We went on chatting, as i was questing and he kept stalking...
Then he invited me to something called "linkshell" and I, not knowing what it is, but wanting to know, accepted.
Wonderful choice. I met a lot of random-fun people there..the chat is always lively, and they make the game a little more lively (it is already, for me, but well it just adds up)

That's the spirit! do not get discouraged by rude and "useless" if you may call it that way, people. You'll always encounter great and playful players around the corner.

So right...I can't wait what other maps, instances, and amazing things they'll throw in next patches!

Taking it easy is a great idea. You have no idea how many details you miss just because you sped through lv 20-30

Imapooonu, I think the same way. Let those people leave. For one that leaves, 50 will come.

Say it one more time!

I love this game... People complain about content but I am satisfied that they have been adding it... This game is not even a year old and the feed back on it is great...

Game is great. I say most 'negative' posters are about specific aspects of the game which could be better in their opinion or just venting about it. The people who really dislike the game are gone already.

I absolutely love this game, the details are stunning, while the original story of this game is a bit ... shallow .. ir progresses to get better and it seems to show that it will get really awesome.

I always loved Final Fantasy music, I only miss some of the old tracks of 1.0. And some odd mechanics (spear fishing!, open world NMs, Hamlet fights) But I won't QQQQQQQ over those things There is still lots that I can do in FFXIV ... and I doubt I will ever get completely tired of it for now

I'm with you OP. I love this game so far and I'm excited to see how it evolves.

I'm still happy with this game.

Not many MMOs will even bother to add major content to expand on the game in this short amount of time FF14ARR is offering Major Updates.

The common average for a MMOs to add Major content is usually 8 months to 1 year instead of 2.5-3 months. Meaning we don't have to wait around a year for something new to be put into the game.

Not to mention not many would bother expanding on the Main Quests of the game on Major Updates. Usually we have to wait for the Expansion to get any story progress or new Major Battles.

Couldn't agree more. Love the combat system with chain combos and such while not having an ungodly amount of skills to be using, Boss fights are incredibly entertaining, and that titan post heart music gets me pumped as all hell every time especially on EX.

They keep pumping content at a decent rate and i'll stay hooked.

I do understand and share Zorae's (OP) observations of the game even though I cancelled the "Auto-Renewal" this week. The game doesn't suit how I like my MMOs to be (end-game mostly) but that doesn't mean the game is "bad", "horrible" or "failed" because of it. For what it is, this game is good with great environments and graphics... and it could become great once more content/diversity will be released.

I just prefer a more horizontal progression than the quick vertical progression they are offering (I like to optimize the few jobs I play and I can't in this system before the gears become outdated). __________ But if this end-game is for you, it is the greatest of its kind to play at the moment.

I can say that "I don't like it" and still admit that "it's good"... "haters" should take notes.

Everyone is allowed their opinions, though I think the OP's would be quite different had he been playing since release.

At level 43 I liked the game a lot more than I do after being 50 for some time.

I do hope this improves.

Well it comes down to what will they add for lvl 1 -49 for each major update and expansion.

For now we know there main focus for Major Updates are the lvl 50 contents with a little lvl 1 -49 content in the Major Updates.

On Topic:

Only down side I feel most is how the current Class lack their 2nd Jobs other than Arcanist. I know these are the original Jobs in 1.0 and they need to implament more class first to serve as 2nd Job cross-skills or lvl 15 requirement but Job options just feels incomplete because we don't have their 2nd Jobs yet.

I love this game and all it's silly fashion. Every day, I can't wait to get home to log on and level or craft or just chat with friends.

Glad there are happy people, would like to take what they are taking ^^

Thank you for saying it, and I couldn't agree more. I love the game too, as I've loved it since the original launch. There are several things I'm adamant to say I want improved/added, so no it's not perfect. But I keep looking forward to play in the evenings, I keep enjoying my ingame time, I love diving into the game's lore and I go at my own pace.

I played ARR since shortly after release, and hit my first battleclass lvl 50 yesterday. And I've been playing regularily. I am not bored, I'm in love. ^_^

This is an amazing game, don't let anyone tell you otherwise :3
Though I wish the story line quests were less "save the world but go do a hundred tedious chores first in all three different city states. And pick up my dry cleaning please while you're at it" in my opinion, but the amazing boss battles, great music and scenery are absolutely incredible *-*
Ultima Weapon Part 1 is my fav boss battle (before you're in that ring of fire I mean) so far. I love doing Praetorium just for it. The music is really awesome too. When good boss music kicks on I feel really excited xD And just looking at some cool places, like Limsa Lominsa and Camp Bronze Lake to name a few is cool too. I like the emotes in this game and I like that you can do your own emotes too :3
