hahahhahahahaha. This is what I'm talking about. Tactful and truthful. +1 for an enjoyable read.

@Zahak
that is a solid link. im gonna save that and look through it later.

Despite all of XI's shortcomings pre-NA launch does it really justify doing the same thing with XIV? There is a saying: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKgPY1adc0A

I wanna hear from someone that played during JP launch of FFXI (no expansion) Their take on the games beginning. because people seem to have it in their head that FFXI started out with EVERYTHING to do. They probably didnt have chocobos either.

Yea i read through the whole updates before and could only imagine. I started at NA launch, but i was new to MMO's and was in awe most the time. People didn't complain about UI design & game annoyances nearly as much back then, they just played it for what it was.

We're not giving SE time. SE is taking their slow time. Business as usual for them.

But this is Square Enix, They are notoriously slow at everything they do.

Indeed it is square enix, which is why with the exception of FFXIII every game that was under their development studio branches released on time, and some even released months earlier because they finished it quickly.

Even then XIII was only delayed due to the PS2 > PS3 move and White Engine development.

my leet senses detect a troll, and a brain-damaged one at that. It isn't possible to create an immersive game world without lore, the game hasn't been out for a year, there are achievments in the game, and if you ever bothered to check your profile's history, you'd know this. Your "best advice" to the devs is complete and total garbage, FFXIV is not Rift, Aion or WoW, it is not trying to be, for which I am quite thankful. (originality will never die!) AH is no longer needed, mail box is a luxery, though will probably be implented, UI adjustments take time to do, as they must not interfere w other aspects of the UI. If they gave every single weapon, armor, and accessory thier own unique look, the memory requirements would be large enough that you would be screaming about that in your rant. It is already possible to solo and form parties, and is ultimately the player's choice. They will add new areas in time (I've already found at least one zone for a future area.) Graphics? again, FFXIV, not Rift, Aion, or WoW. You don't want xiv to fail? Sounds more like you want the game to be converted into WoW2, which is certainly a failure.

If you are seriously that butthurt about playing this game, the only suggestion I can make to you is to go back to WoW, or one of it's clones, as you will never be satisfied with this game, it's content, or community.

game with no story and lore..... sounds like a shitty game. They have to have a story for what they put out. not just 'Here have these few dungeons with some stuff to kill!' or 'Heres some raids, who cares why we go raid them.'

[SuzakuCMX]

It's 5 months short of a year of being released, at least for NA.

[Reika]

Lots will be done in 5 months too.
