. Mobs in Dungeon : u can't skip them when u get aggro .. specially if u at level 50 it's so
annoying instead of fun .
. Skilles actions : playing next to a guy who is exactly like me and have the same style , no one like it ,why not to make it like 60 or 70 actions and he can pick 30 only with approche gives him different style .
. The charcter creation at the beginning .. There is no much options there .
Sugssetion :
Only one , the card mini game that we played in ff9 .. It was really great game and the best mini game ever , it will add a lot to ffxiv world .

Seems to me the OP loves this game. 18 pluses to 3 minuses.
Also, Triple Triad is coming with the Golden Saucer. Possibly in 2.45. -

That's a plus? Seriously? Also, why didn't you mention important things like storyline, cutscenes, voice-acting? -
10-13-2014, 01:15 AMTsuwu
I like the OP's listing.
Not comprehensive, but it doesn't need to be.
I do agree, more skills and abilities would make for alternate rotations that would likely end up adding some nice depth and diversity to the game.
We're not all new players!
We won't get stressed by having 5 more skills that are acceptable tradeoffs for one another!

10-13-2014, 01:16 AMZhycranaDranixYeah but 70 extra skills I would die lolQuote:

Thanks guys , I really think the options kinda limited .. starting from character creation to actions and leveling up .. its just to basic , also cross class skills are great but for tank the only cross class he really use are the warrior and paladin .. and Some from other displens of war and most of them if not all are status skills .. The combat Skilles are not useful if u get it from other classes cus u will not get combo hit , that's why I hated it when I'm in fate or party of 8 .. The other paladin is doing exactly like me , the same battle combat, if there was more actions that would create styles , for the cutscencs and voice acting I think they are not important as much as other things cus it's online game and not story game .

10-13-2014, 01:41 AMBillyBonesIts a Final Fantasy game nonetheless. It does have a great storyline. Why are you thinking that the game can't have all these things just because it's online? I just think it's funny you leave it out and say it's not important and yet list things like weather and minions.Quote:

The monster distibution is fine. Apart from spots like sylphland, where EVERYTHING agros you and EVERYTHING has the ability to weight you down or paralyze you :| (I liked the1.0 monster distibution a TINY bit better, headless running around was a nono back than)
I dont think the character creation has to few points to chose from generally .... well apart from hairstyles that is.
The skills? I would like to have a diversity, not sure if I would increase the general amount though.
@Special Snowflakes: Those are my opinions, not facts -

If you could skip all the trash and just kill the bosses...why not make 5 minute dungeons that are just 3 bosses...
The number of abilities is fine right now. We're only at level 50 with an impending cap increase (expansion). Also giving you a library of abilities and a limited number of slots as you suggested...SOUNDS good...but then you're just pigeonholed by the "best" ability loadout (see FFXI's Blue Mage and "x spell or GTFO") as determined by the min/maxers. -

The devs have changed dungeons in the past where it was possible to skip trash for this very reason (Wanderer's Palace, Amdapor Keep, Haukke Manor during beta).
As for the other point:
Because that would be stupidly difficult to balance and creates divides within jobs (not to mention the inevitable drama of build X versus build Y). The devs so far have dodged most of the downfalls of class design. Asking for something that would create nothing but trouble for the sake of a handful that want to be unique snowflakes makes little to no sense.Quote:

10-16-2014, 01:40 AMNyaliaUhh, the game's storyline is very Final Fantasy. It's in line with all of the other Final Fantasies, drawing most heavily from FFIII (basically the same world, with the events of FFIII having taken place in the 4th era or so, if you put the pieces together) and FFVI (same basic plot - imperialistic empire that is technologically advanced trying to take over the world, said empire being manipulated by an evil psychopath (Nael = Kefka), an apocalypse happens (1.23->2.0 = WoB->WoR), second part of the game takes place in the ruins (ARR = World of Ruin), empire is using magical essence of espers/primals to empower their tech). People are so biased by their nostalgia these days... I laugh every time someone says something like "FFXIV's storyline is terrible! Why can't it be more like FFVI's?" because they're basically the same general storyline.Quote:

To those who claim they hate the XIV storyline - if you don't like the plots of Final Fantasy games, why are you playing one, and why do you expect XIV's story to be better than or different from the other FF games? If you think you liked the other FF games' storylines, but do not like XIV's, I strongly recommend playing through the older games with a careful lookout for nostalgia-based bias.

10-16-2014, 01:54 AMBloodPactThis will never work out (regarding skills which is what was mentioned in OP) because everyone will always just choose the abilities that best suit that role. It's not an opinion, it's a proven fact.Quote:

There is no reason to be harassing the OP for writing up his opinions about the game.Quote:

I made my counter argument, it's that OP hasn't had time to experience the game to the fullest so OP is displaying thoughts or opinions based on a lack of experience which is just biased. If you want to take the opinions of an inexperienced player, by all means go ahead. If you would rather the thoughts of someone who has spent a bit more time playing, experiencing what the game has to offer, be my guest.Quote:

I don't know what you got against the OP, but it is fortunate they are not here posting about vote kick abuse from encounters with players with attitudes like yours because they wanted to watch cutscenes.Quote:

i played this game about a month too now
and i agree with most of your point, especially the character customization, skill system and world design
world design is perfect and beautiful, but it shame that its too restricted full of ivisible wall and with all zone and instances, it make less immersive for me, but still i can handle it and not really a big deal for me
about a couple days ago when iam randomly searching web about ff14, i found an article about translated interview with ff14 producer, it stated that there is planning to overhaul the world with less invisible wall and make the world truly open world in future expansion
i don't know if it's true or not, but i do hope its true, it will greatly improve the atmosfer, make it more immersive (at least imo :p ) -
10-16-2014, 04:10 AMAirikayIts the Viii card game though, not the IX one. I don't really recap many people liking the VIII card game..why they chose that instead of tetra master is beyond me.Quote:

I disagree on 1 aspect of the op's post. Trash mobs should have to be killed not just a few all of them. Regardless if you like them or not they are there and should be killed, no one should run from them. In order to access any boss in any instance, if there are trash mobs as players call them they ALL need to be killed, before you can access the boss.
-
10-17-2014, 08:21 AMNyarukoWAmen to that. There are trials like Titan EX and other primals where you can just go after the boss. The options are there for reason and players are free to choose.Quote:

Give us 70 or 100 skills, sure why not. Let us pick 30 sure why not.
We'll figure out the best 30 in a week and everyone will use them and only them and if they don't? They'll probably be called bad or get kicked from games. That's how that usually works out. Doing it just for the sake of doing it wont make anyone play different sadly it would just give us something to debate about for a little bit.
Otherwise glad you enjoy so much of the game. -
10-17-2014, 10:01 AMAdrian74
Vote for more USEFUL cross skills with the level cap increase, I think it will give us better reasons to level up like good all-arounder noobs! (Having crafters all 50 is super helpful with the cross skills... Having DoL and DoM all 50 is almost useless in the same matter)
I guess Square Enix, like often, fears the possible answer of super casuals: "How annoying. Now I have to level up a WHM to 60 for being able to fully use my SMN?" or something like that... IT's not like somebody is putting you a pistol in your head for making you have the extra skills anyway... Geez.. -
