I think I stopped playing some time ago when someone said: "FFXI had a year before it came to North America. Give FFXIV a year and it'll be more finished".
I came back, and it's not. It seriously is not finished. Not even close.
The UI is still bad, the classes still suck, there is virtually no penalty for dying, and insta-travel still exists. There's no inclination to do anything other than for better gear. No quests for unlocking new abilities, no quests to open new areas. There's a mediocre conquest-like system in place. Gear maintenance without a point. MP recovery abilities without a point. No large-scale 18+ person group endgame content. No bard. Nothing special / Nothing unique.
Why waste my time on this MMO, when I can get the same thing out of WoW, Rift, EQ2, Warhammer, Age of Conan, etc., etc., ?
The answer is: Because I love the Final Fantasy series so much I won't realize how awful the game actually is. Thankfully, I know better.
Even looking at what's planned for 2.0, the game is not done, and I'm not paying for it. Before you guys flame this topic with one-liners like: "Another one of these?" - Take a moment to think instead: "Why so many of these?" Then if you're smart, it'll make sense to you.
Ciao.
It's not done

Games take time to be remade/fixed. They already listed the plans and the timeline. Stop whining.

Square realized the initial game was ***, so they're making a whole new game. Knowing Square it's going to take a while to make that new game. These forums are not your babysitter, cry somewhere else.
MMOs are never done, 2.0 is just another major patch. They will continue working on the game after 2.0, people make it out to be the final finished perfect product that it's not going to be. -

Point is, are you having fun or not? If you're having enough fun that you think it's worth paying, then pay. If not, then don't. It's not about whether the game is "done" or not.
Simple as that. Yoshi stated as much at least 3 times when talking about the payment. -

...And?
What do you thinks going to happen?
The game's being remade, it's going to take another year before it's complete. They're going to start charging for the game as it is now to fund the in game events that will lead to 2.0.
What do you want from it? -

Did your epeen grow after making this thread? Just wondering.
Can you give me ONE reason why this couldn't be posted in one of the other threads? -
10-19-2011, 10:29 AMGramulI'm guessing it's something along the lines of:Quote:

Unfortunately, few of these threads supply any reasonable alternatives, if any at all. -

And so do I, and if they can voice their opinions, so can I. Only difference is, I'll be here long after they are. Notice how I enjoy productive posts, however these where people spam their undesired opinions, I do the same. How am I doing anything different than them?

I think this game isn't worth the same subscription fee but I do think 2.0 will. The thread that suggest the fee of 6-7 bucks a month makes a really good point.
My plan is to pay on the month 1.21, 1.22, 1.23, etc... is released so that this way i can experience the changes and play around with them, but I doubt it'll be enough content to keep me around for the 2-3 months in between each patch.
I think they should wait until 1.21 to start charging, depending on how they do the job system I think the more traditional party content mixed with the hunt for AF armor will motivate a lot of people to get to 50 and slap materia on they're gear.
I agree with a lot of these complains though the content is still too grind heavy, and the lack luster mid game content and lack of intrigue of future skills really doesn't motivate people to get to mid level, let alone get all the way to max level so they can experience a few weeks of end game content pending the long waits to find a party or get in a link shell... -

it happens mmo's takes the original experience and adds new things in magic things called patches. its an ok system keeps you interested and excited.
the only thing here tho is right now in this point of time should actually be last year [ if you know what i mean]
that's a shame and all but get on with it and enjoy whats coming.
its not really fun to read these threads day after day when we could all be off making our own fun inside FFXIV
