Letter From the Producer IX.

[Shiyo]

FFXIV was released as a very different and unique game and we all know how it turns out.

FFXI was a very good game and i loved it but it was never meant for casuals, which is why it never hit WoW's number of subscription. This game however have always been advertised as casual friendly.. always.....

FF14 was rushed, it has a ton of good ideas, but they were poorly implemented and rushed. If they had more time all the ideas in this game would have turned out to be AMAZING. FF11 also released in WORSE shape than this game, can you imagine that? Look at how it turned out. We do not need to copy WOW to be a successful MMO, I wish some dev would grow balls for once and learn that, sigh.

There's also many other better casual friendly MMOs, and pretty much ZERO hardcore MMOs. Do we really need more? This is like there being 9000 different types of mc donalds or burger kings or taco bells. We already have a taco bell every 5 minutes, do we really need 17 more taco bells inbetween those, just called different things?

Hopefully, I'm completely wrong and these dungeons and quest hubs are nothing what I think they are ^_^;
