SE making NEW MMO

[Shikaree]

Although a Seiken Densetsu MMO sounds better, imo. I would play that in a heartbeat.

This! I loved the series through to Legend and there's enough lore to create a background with races, elements, and the world.

I disagree with this completely. FFXI did flourish, but it was at a snails pace. There was a time, a long time actually, where XI was unbearable because they couldn't seem to balance anything in the game and it was all over the place in terms of difficulty. In XI, events were either too hard or too easy and it took a good while for them to balance content and create content that was at the correct difficulty vs the reward you got from it (which was another ridiculous issue. See this repeated again under Tanaka with FFXIV R50 NMs)

Plus, you have to look at the major content that is coming out soon before judging Yoshi and the handful of new or repositioned developers. If the content is utter crap, distrust all you want, but you are prejudging.

FFXI was made for difficulty so i don't know what you talking about it was made when players was not all baby and terms of being a casual player. Then wow came and then FFXI was look as being way to difficulty i never found FFXI difficulty .

Don't bring another MMO into your point when it's not a comparison issue. So, what you're saying is, FFXI was developed for difficulty, but wasn't difficult. Which is it? You are not making any sense and are actually proving me right without meaning to.

Why do you want to play MMOs if you just want to play solo?

was asking me the same... there are just too many solo-mmos out now... do we really need more of them?
In the end they all end up the same and people are complaining since they finally find out that soloing from 1-50/80 won't cut it and they are looking for a gear-horny raid-shell to get purples ...

Besides, FFXI was designed to resemble other MMOs out there at the time anyway. It wasn't an expressed desire to make the game hard as hell to get into.

another try?

hope they learned from the previous mistakes

Only mistake they made was XIV.

[Suirieko]

Only mistake they made was XIV.

I'm sure she meant the mistake of not having jumps in FFXI and FFXIV.

; ; I have a soft spot for Tanaka only because hes the father of the Job system and as the director of the greatest squaresoft RPG (imo SD3 < <) to never leave Japan.

Hironobu Sakaguchi is the father of FF and look where Spirits Within landed him. Consider this Tanaka's Spirits Within. In simpler terms this was his blunder that SE will never let go.

WoW came and made everything casual then ffxi was look at as being way to difficulty "I said i never found ffxi difficulty just very fun challenging"

You're not even talking about the issue I found with the game and you once again brought up WoW. I didn't even play WoW, nor was I comparing it to another MMO's difficulty (<--which is the right usage of the word; take notes).

What I was pointing out was you trashing Yoshi when the director hasn't even released any major content yet under his reign and that it was prejudging. On top of that, I pointed out the very large span of time in which content was never balanced under Tanaka. In the small amount of content in FFXIV and for many years with FFXI. He wasn't spun gold. Let's stop acting like he was.
