Just got this game...

[Arcell]

I play more than 1 hour a day and do leves all the time with friends and I'm not bored with the game yet. I'm still hunting NMs for drops, doing the higher rank ones with my LS, doing leves with my friends, ranking up crafting and gathering at the moment. I consider myself to be taking my time as well as I'm not rushing to cap on anything. Yeah I have 1 class to 50 and I'm content with that for now.

oh i'm not bored with it either, but just meant that in general. i can see why alot have gotten bored in game. me personally i see the finish line on multiple classes and have other goals i set for myself to reach so i still have things to do, but they are self made content for me to do not the game enforcing them on me. i have actually gotten bored with the nm's, expecially the high ones, it only took douing/3man the dodore and gob pre-nerf joke then to see how pathetic they are afterwards to get bored with them.

i just think i am starting to hit the wall that alot of others hit way before me in that after doing things so many times they are more like work than an enjoyable experience at this point. i hate it too because i really do want this game to be great which is why i bought this one and not xi.

i love the route tanaka was taking this game as in away from the other mmo's, but hate that yoshi is going right back to it. i got the game because i love the armory system and the possibilities it has, but due to poor implementation and a massive group takeover that system, that could be great, is being destroyed. i did not get xi due to i am not a fan of the subjob system no more than i am a fan of the wow trees.

The problem with Tanaka's direction was that he was taking it way too far from other MMOs. There are genre-defining systems at this point that people expect from MMOs. There are things that work in other games for a reason and most of the unique systems that the original team came up with fell flat on their face. Good on paper, poor execution. I'm all for innovation and trying different things but there is a base that needs to be established first.

Yoshida is putting in those things from other MMOs that work, the things that have become genre-defining. He's establishing that base of things that people expect from both Final Fantasy and the MMO genre. After that we'll see what happens, I like where it's going myself though.

no the problem with tanaka was se rushed out a product that was only partially complete and used him as a fall guy. the knee jerk reaction to shut people up was to put in yoshi. yoshi is destroying the things that alot of people wanted when we purchased the game. if you like a game that 5 year old kids can kill mobs in your party then yoshi is doing that correctly. i'm wrong? i'll have video my 5 year old son playing my thm against the goblin nm in one of my static parties to see if he can do it................he can. he's done it more than once.

the goblin was implemented on Tanaka's time lol

and was nerfed on yoshi's.....................which was my point. he took the only high end content and made it to where 5 year olds could do it.

i guess i get your point, im not sure what was his decision or thinking regarding this matters because i am sure the devs team already knows how easy the NMs are and how broken stuff like emulate is (but they didnt nerf it down, which is what people expect before 1.16 went live), but i am not gonna judge Yoshi til he put out the NMs/instances he promised us.

The game just needs to be more challenging. I'm fine with the systems as they are myself but I can also see the need for improvement. I think they can come up with something better than both XI and XIV's current systems.

i dont think anything with wrong with his direction, and the game isnt really THAT different, i do think they released a very buggy game, with not much content, which, in some theories of MMO development could have worked, but only if they had rapid fixes, and rapid content, that has not shown to be the case, the game is 7 months old, and they still havent fixed all the base bugs, though they did come a way. (not talking bout the changes or even content here, just the bugs and errors, and bare bones stuff)
