So sick of prioritisation

[Tezz_Xivectro]

Troll thread or not, where do you guys think you need to travel so much? This game doesn't really even merit the dire need for mounted travel ASAP.

By the time the game is even worth playing it sounds like we'll have "mounts" anyway. This useless OCD bickering isn't making SE magically realize the error of their ways. They already know the big complaints & are addressing them. It's not a matter of grabbing their attention anymore.

Until they start to come to fruition then you can bitch some more to keep their attention. The timing for now is too early & no one cares. It's a continuous waiting game.

20 minutes and no response?

Did gifthorse lose his raging drive to not stop until every man, woman, and lalafell can ride a chocobo across the plains of Eorzea?

I have to admit, it's rather sad that it's gotten to the point where not only are players attacking each other, but they're actually defending SE's laziness. It's amazing, SE doesn't even have to pay for community reps because the playerbase is doing such an awesome job of defending Square's excuses on their own.

I hate to say this, but if that's the kind of community this game has bred, I kind of hope it either fails or SE changes it so radically that none of the older players will stick around.

This is just getting sad, it's like watching a bunch of beaten down dogs defending their abusive master.

(On the other hand, Gifthorse does have some really, really bad ideas. I still have him on my black list. Even so, it's sad that something as fundamentally Final Fantasy as chocobos not being in a NUMBERED FF game is being defended by anyone. Not even SE should be able to defend this.)

Lolno.
Few people actually defend SE for the bad thing he did until now on this game. But that don't mean every shit one can say would magically turn true.

[Sephr]

No one's defending not having them?

We're saying there are vastly more important things, especially considering that transport right now isnt THAT bad if you manage your teleportation use.

Hate to break this to you but FFXI didn't have chocobo's for the first 4-5 months in JP Beta. Now should SE have learned in the 10 years since XI has been out? Probably. But don't go around acting like they owe you something just because the name "Final Fantasy" is on it.

Name one thread suggesting even the most BASIC of additions (most of which should have been in the game to start with) to the game that has not degrading into mud slinging name calling flame wars in the last 6 months.

Of course not everything should be added, but making any excuses for this travesty of a game release defending SE is just ridiculous. It's not even like they've changed much of anything since release, it's still 90%+ homogenous to release state. Until I see more than words, any defense of SE is inexcusable.

Believe it or not, FFXI is not the sum of the entire final fantasy series. Hate to break it to you but chocobos have been in 90% of the FF games, and it's been a hell of a lot longer than 4-5 months since this game was released.

That you believe SE owes the players, which have made the company the success it is today absolutely nothing is ridiculous and just plain sad.

Believe it or not FFXI has been the sum of the entire final fantasy series in regards to MMO's. MMO's are much more coding intensive than console games. Scripting an entire mount system, physics, animations and skinning over a persistent world on a hardware server takes twice as long as coding it onto a disc. Considering that the dev team has been a failure for the last year or two, the company has lost numerous amounts of resources right in the middle of XIV development and the fact that they are rebuilding most of the core features from the ground up gives me enough rationality to see why they would be put in late.

FFXIV will be part of the 90% FF titles with chocobos. The XIV Dev team will not bend its prioritization on your incessant QQing over x and y. They will develop and release on the time schedule they have planned and they will get the game in am enjoyable state sooner rather than later.

If there was no prioritization

we would have jump before content
we would never get companies and instead would get even more mini map icons
we wouldnt get dungeons, we would get more holiday events even if there was no holiday
we wouldnt get a level cap raise, we would get a bigger market ward
we wouldnt get the job system, we would get mobs made even bigger


get the point?
