Why aren't you subbing to Final Fantasy XIV now that the trial period is over?

[Guammasa]

Not subbing because:

-I cant, 401/601 said no.
-Regional Servers don't exist making lag a large issue in a game where near twitch-reflex timing is required to dodge boss abilities and create a failed version of "instant" cast time abilities.
-Customer support is utterly horrible. I used to think that WoW had some of the most moronic employees working in customer support...I have now found worse. Not even my experiences in XI compare.

As I said in another thread:
Boring endgame, boring combat system, boring questing, hilariously awkward user interface, etc. FFXIV is, at best, aggressively competent. It doesn't excel in any area, and virtually everything in it is copy/pasted from other MMOs. I wish I could say I feel they've at least improved on those systems, but that isn't the case.

You will probably just say you have another character that has all 50's, but I'll say it anyways. What endgame could you have done on a lvl 34 cnj? You couldn't have even realized the combat system if you don't have all your skills or participated in the fights that start to take actual skill. Story-mode Titan is the first encounter that takes real focus, in my opinion at least. I've thoroughly enjoyed the story quests and will, without a doubt, say they are the most well thought out story quests of any of the MMOs I've played in the last few years.

Continuation:

As for the interface, I don't see how it is awkward. I'd honestly like an example here. It seems fairly streamlined to me. Even with a controller you can open up the windows you need in a second or two. I'd bet that controller can actually be faster than keyboard in action execution for combat.

Best MMO I've ever played + it is Final Fantasy. Have re-subbed, looking forward to when the WoWtards have left.

I like the game so far, and i only have 1 problem that , if somehow not fixed, will eventually make me stop playing as it kills the gaming experience for me.

Being a long time mmo player, ive learnt to avoid aoe with the best of them.
Now, i play from australia, and no matter HOW DAMN FAR i am away from the red aoe lines etc, 5/10 times , ill still get hit.

Apparently all us aussies have this prob, so im guessing the oceanic population in FF14 will dwindle pretty quickly as this problem is a game breaker....Especially for harder content..

Ill keep subbed for now and see what happens or till i just cant take it anymore!

Not gonna be subbing. Although I have not reached end game, the lack of content (as described by many people) at the end is pretty disappointing. However the game breaking factor for me is the 2.5 GCD, the 300ms polling rate, and the animation cooldowns. The nightmare stories I hear about the DF is also appalling (I don't blame SE though, much of the blame goes to Blizzard)

I don't get a lot time to play the game, and was hoping to subscribe to finally get to end game. But with Hex: Shards of Fate alpha coming in a couple of days (yay!), it's going to be extremely difficult to get myself back into ARR. Though I will occasionally check back for game updates and the general sentiments in the forums.

Not subbing for these reasons, see this post here. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ttering-really.

Mind Numbing content and still no PvP... Havent logged on in 2 weeks now :L

All I have left to do is Coil.. or FATE grind another job? Sorry unless FATE grinding is balanced vs proper exping/dungeons I'll pass, as much as I hate FATEs and would go the dungeon route on purpose, it's just ridiculous that my extra effort really doesn't amount to any better exp with the DF queue and all that. Or exp parties I heard are viable, but the initial time investment in setting up a party and then going out to exp is not really appealing when FATEs give so much exp and are so easy. So I guess after the next sub is over, I'll be back when they do something about the mind numbing FATE zerging.
