Not really that lively looking, but best I could find for an example.

Ignorance is bliss

This isn't with regards to FFXIV but that's the most wrong saying ever...ignorance is gonna get us all killed one day.

Thats the point, if you dont know you're about to die, then you'll be perfectly fine.

I disagree. Ignorance is bliss because it's entirely blissful to find something that you don't know, so you can fill the gap in your knowledge

Willful ignorance on the other hand is, as you say, going to get us all killed one day.

I don't know why people are freaking out over instanced dungeons...I was doing BCNM 40's when WoW was first released. Just saying.

While I get your point, BCNMs are not a great example. I was being left out of BCNMs because I was not the "right" class for them when WoW was first released. <,<

Anyway, I still don't understand the amount of crap thrown at the devs. Yes, the game is not changing overnight, but at least we should recognize that this is a colossal task they are taking up.

Granted, they won't hear a peep from me save for one thing and one thing alone. That being hybrid classes being stuck doing pure support instead of having various roles available to them in group play. And that's only because I am serious when I say I won't be able to stomach a second coming of the refresh-whore Red Mage. Even then, my ire would be aimed at their class balance guy, not at Yoshida himself.

Yes! thank you fixing that :P

Well most the time people are just lying to themselves. I do know I'm going to die so I wanna do something about it, which is what everyone should be doing.

It's also stupid if you constantly try to steal people from other games that do what you're trying to do tons better.

@ Wobi, if you played this game since release and don't have a 50, you have no excuse really. Doing leves(2-3 hours per 36 hours at most) will get you 1-50 in a month or so. I also want content for ALL levels, but I don't understand why we NEED dungeons, of all content to add, at low levels.

We. do. not. need. to. copy. WOW. to. be. successful.

-_________- I want to drill this into some MMO devs mind sometime, maybe that will finally make a MMO that isn't a WOW clone exist...

edit: I like the "combing low level dungeon gear to get good gear like salvage" idea. THAT is unique and cool.

I just wish you would quit already clearly they arent making the game you want.

[Xmbei]

Why is it that everyone thinks dungeons were created and solely WOW? do your research realized wow was not the first MMO to do dungeons. FFXI had dungeons, people seem to have forgotten BCNM's, Salvage, Dynamis (raid), Sea (raid), Einharjar. No one complains about those and say they are OMFGBBQSAUCE THEY ARE COPYING WOW!!!! STOP RUINING FFXI! Now that that is done, Stop judging things that havent been released yet. As the the saying goes don't Knock it till you try it., If you don't like it GTFO and stop bitching about content that isn't released yet, while the rest of us look forward to the new content and the what will be slow, THOROUGH process to fix and improve FFXIV.

[Jamel-Irief]

Yeah nothing to convince people to calm down like a rage post.

I guess people are "scared" of the dungeons being WOW like because Yoshi saying "... it will probably be similar to dungeons in other MMOs".
In the same interview he however also said they were focusing on making the game very much Final Fantasy.

I'm excited for the dungeons, not so much for the wait, lol.
