A word from IGN.com

[Sovereign]

Maybe in a year or two this game will be where it should have been at launch. You know... right around when Blizzard launches their new MMORPG and sets an even higher standard.

Also, as far as engines go, I have a hard time thinking that the Crystal Tools engine (FFXIII and FFXIV) is all that optimized, especially compared to CryEngine (Crysis 2, Aion), Unreal (TERA, Gears of War), and Source (Vindictus, Portal 2). Each engine is able to create a wonderful looking game, so the fact that Crystal Tools causes excessive wear on hardware, can't handle a high-end system optimally, can't handle alt+tab, has to be configured by an external utility, etc... is all unacceptable.

Also, it is sometimes hard to tell a bug from crap design. For example, my DEX doesn't seem to impact my accuracy all that much. Is that a bug or crap design? Who knows! I think it's certainly fair to say that this game has a very long ways to go, and it seems to take SE forever to do anything. Blizzard has been able to crank out content in stunning quantity, quality, and frequency, so I don't really know why SE is so busy fixing little things... =/

yep then we be back to FFXIV Vs Titan like we had with FFXI vs WoW -.- sadly i dislike blizzard they don't know how to make a game. Everytime i play wow there so many bugs and issue and players just tell me "they want money" it sad when your own players know the game sucks but they go on playing and they know that all blizzard want is money.


SE going to make this game for Casual players and try get wow players once blizzard release there new mmo and see that that lot's of ppl left FFXIV they going to try and get there main Fans from FFXI back into there games. maybe by then the game would be good enough and it not be so much spoon-feeding by then
