FFXIV Bitter Sweet

I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes.

I agree the community is bad but are we comparing a game that's a month old to a game that has been out for 10 years with 5 expansions, 3 add on scenarios and 1 mini expansion? I remember coming in early CoP and there being quite a bit but not too much to explore. Given I had jumped in after 2 expansions being released for it I can't say how it originally looked like. I know pre zilart which most english players never saw as when it came out in english zilart was included there was actually jack squat for content. 60 cap, no dynamis, sky, or desert region. It's quite unfair to compare a new game to one with a decade of work isn't it?

Not all games should be made for you casuals though. I think it's terrible that they made such a shallow casual game instead of a real MMO. Once you're done with the story you're done with the only thing that keeps this game worth playing. FFXI had me entertained for years, this game had me entertained for a few weeks and now I'm tired of leveling my other jobs, doing fates, the bugs, the loading issues, the awful worse than WoW community, and doing the mindless end game dungeon grind. The 2.1 stuff is not likely going to give people too much for end game either. At least XI was designed to keep you busy for a long time with plenty of things to do in its huge world.

coulden't say it any better myself!!
