"A system that rewards effort and innovation" can't be buzzwords for imbalance-get

[Physic]

Talk is cheap.

I/We had more fun in one day in FF11, then the whole time in FF14. Strive for the holy grail is nice and all, but at the end of the day, something decent is by far not the worse thing to happen.

There will always be balance problems, and broken tactics, community harassment and so on. This is by the definition of MMO and games alike.

Even if repeating every single one of FF11's mistakes is still better then FF14's current form. Should they do better? Heck yes. Should they start forgetting every past thing, because it was imperfect, especially when it's their bread and butter...

I wouldn't mind a FF11-2 to start off with because at least I'll actually make that white box collecting dust worth something rather then it's current form.

We expect something better, but at this point almost anything solid is better then current trends.

ffxi still exists, there is no advantage to recreating it. And the reason this game is not comparing to ffxi, is because they have added no new content for 8 months. If we had to stay in the 3 main zones in ffxi with no cap raises at level 40, no bcnms and only access to rank 2 missions for 8 months, i guarantee you FFxi would be extremely wack. back when we played ffxi, i was in jueno within like a week or two tops. this game hasnt even released its non starting city town.

the problem is lack of content and a release filled with bugs and oversights.
