Just got this game...

[Physic]

people around here have many different opinions, but honestly the real biggest problem with the game was, and is still, the lack of content, Its much smoother than it was, but there is a real lack of things to do in the game, the story is spaced far apart, the amount of ways to level effeciently has actually gone down. The game has added very little actual new content since release. mostly they added # big NMs 20 little nms and a bunch of side quests, that dont really feel like a story that much. thats about all.
If your listening SE content was the biggest voted missing thing i believe, realize that regardless, the battle system is an aside, some people may hate some may love it, but lack of content is what is really missing across the board amongst all players.

You know yoshi dind't canned any of that feature, but postponed where companies had a real content ?
Oh wait, you are gifthorse.

i can see why you think hes just an angry man, but i really havent heard much about most of the things they said they were working on before, and some things seem like they are going in the opposite direction. They may come later, but in his plans he didnt mention most of those things anymore.

Community is fairly good in this game if you get yourself around an friendly LS or have a few friends you play the game with. It makes some of the dullness in doing the same things over and over less....well dull. There isn't much variety after you've done most things in the game as well as it's missing things or has pieces that don't quite fit yet. Lots of things need reworking or implementation. It still can be fun, but it's not as immersive as it probably should be yet. That's just my opinion.

we don't know much of that, but:
-he delayed the companies because they where ready, but not the content for it. Basicly there wasn't nothing to do. This count housing and ships.
-he said hamlet defence is still in the to-do, but with a different name
-he said sooner or later pvp will appear, but not in the open.
He can't be very vocal on things not ready, but read aroun d and you'll see nothing has been canned

With all due respect, that is my honest opinion, i have alot friends from XI that asked whether the game is worth the 60$ they are going to spent. At the current state of the game, it is not ready for public consumption yet and will just sparked another rage thread players that are already rampant in this forum.

What, it's like buying a copy of Modern Warfare 2 and playing it following the fixes the dev team is developing, watching the changes in real time =)

Oh wait, Infinity Wards would never do that, oh well...
At least, FFXIV dev team will rend this game worth the monthly fee, I can feel it from the changes it has done, and the changes it will have.
I must say, I don't like some changes that will come, like the quest hubs which my eyes see it as a western thing, but I'll be glad to be amazed by Squeenix.

Great, let's just wait indefinitely for FFXIV to be the game it isn't even setting out to be.

In the meanwhile, people will try out TERA, GW2, and ArcheAge and realise that those games offer much more interesting and novel features, and FFXIV will suffer for postponing their good ideas in favour of implementing stupid ones.

there's no content. the game's pretty solid now with room for improvement but once you are higher level you'll really notice there's nothing to do and that you're still doing what you did at rank 20.

The new thing called companies isnt like a the old, basically before they said there were going to be larger companies that may contain multiple LS, where you had some sort of shared things, and goals, but now companies seem to be more about plot, and probably an over arching storyline, looks like grand companies are going to be something like how bastok wind and sandoria had their own stories you could be involved in, that lead to certain places.

hamlet defenses they said will be scrapped, but they may have you protecting some different areas, but they also said they may not. It may be that these quest hubs/settlements was what they meant by saying they have something different planned now.
