Can't we just make the battle system like FFXI's?

Oh I didn't miss your point big guy, I'm simply saying that times have changed and standards are very different now. Then again the subject of "SE didn't apply anything they learned from making XI to XIV" has been stressed enough. I wonder if after this game has been out for a year, I'll still be told "Just wait, YOU'LL SEE. In another 6 months this game will be ready for reviews FOR REAL".

So if I understand you correctly, you think I am wrong to claim that the time between release and review between the two games can't be compared fairly, because you believe that the extra knowledge they gained from the years of FFXI development should have applied to FFXIV, which should have resulted in a much better game at release, thus those 3rd month reviews are completely comparable to the 18th month reviews of FFXI. Does that about sum it up?

Yes, exactly. Even now, if reviewed 7 months after release, FFXIV would not compare to XI 12 months after release. It just shouldn't be that way. Either way, we're arguing over nothing. Reviews don't really matter to me, just the uncertain future of this game.

My thoughts exactly.
