DevTalk: Time's Running Out. Bring Out the Gimmicks (Sephiroth, Kefka "Dream" BCNM)

[Rentahamster]

WOW @ THIS THREAD TOPIC

almost unbelievable

Almost.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

BCNM yeah, but with Sephiroth? No. I think it would make Square look bad and FF XIV look cheap. It needs to be a bit more creative than that.

I wouldn't say interest in this game is fading at all. I think there is quite a bit of excitement within the community for the upcoming changes. When Square decides to talk about the PS3 game inteterest will be generated again, maybe they will do that at E3.

Mez agree with you Akira I would like BCNMs but no past FF or other SE stuff. we need new icons for this game maybe an event where we fight the main characters from the FFXIV story that comes every so often. like the Heroes and heroines combat from the fanfests or some other thing that makes FFXIV look more like a new game that has a lot to offer someone who hasn't played FFXI instead of just another MMO but I think the devs will work out something, its just a matter of time :3

Doesnt have to be characters, I'd love to see Magus Sisters BCNM, Yojimbo anyone? Eden, of course Ultima/Omega Weapon, There are so many amazing creatures from past FF series that would definitely be interesting for instances, I'd kill puppies for a challenging Magus Sister fights!

[Joeking]

Tiamat seems reoccurring enough to be a good choice for this. That or I wouldn't mind killing moogles.

People didn't leave because the good things weren't good enough.. they left because the flaws were too great

some may have left for the flaws, but honestly i saw the biggest exodus with the lack of content and the sp change/nerf.

it made sense that there were so few goals and cool things to do when the game came out, because initially you are just learning teh ropes and leveling, but 8 months in? we should probably have had 2 level cap increases, access to ishguard, chocobos airships, and some type of team oriented missions/quests/dunegons by this point. I mean even ffxi zilart was already on the way by this time im pretty sure.
and i know they added the ranger paladin beast before zilart was out.

FFXI wasnt a shitstorm like this game was though. XI didn't need to be completely overhauled and fixed. XI also had the benefit of not being released outside of Japan for the first year so many players were oblivious. Long story short, this game is not of the same descent as XI was. They can not follow the same paths and rules

Sometimes I can't believe how stupid the people on these forums are. Grats OP. You are the stupidestest.

oh from what i have read ffxi was quite a shitstorm, they just never decided to rework the battle system, which honestly is probably one of the better parts of this game imo. boring animations? yeah retarded upper sp limit that makes you fight weaklings? yeah but DoW combat? versus monsters of a challenging level/in groups? its pretty good for me, on pug anyway.

The idea is a little rough, but it honestly is not a bad one, adding in some sort of optional battle with old FF villains, and maybe getting a weapon/armor item from each of them as a prize.

Does not have to be anything crazy, even if they are "joke" items.
