Is 1.18 the final straw?

You don't know what you got till it's gone.

Meh, the class changes and the job system will be the make/break point for me. Content, difficulty and so on take the back burner if the class design is lacking. Granted, I'm far from done with the game as far as what's currently ingame, but still.

I'll stay on till they turn off the light switch lol. I think its ironic that they could possibly be coming full circle with the FF series. FF was named that for one reason, it was their final attempt before going belly-up. I know they arent going to go belly-up, however if this fails we may never see another FF MMO. Players will have that lil memory in the back of their head of xiv. I really hope that this game gets turned around.

When's 1.18 supposed to come out?

Sometime between 1.17 and 1.19 I would wager.

'Late summer' I believe was Yoshida's answer to that.

As for me? I'm not sure. I'll quit whenever they finally rip out enough of the things the game actually did right at the start to make me finally feel too bitter to play.

I mean they keep pulling all the nice little touches.. partial collision detection on characters, they're threatening to pull those little steps you take as you stop from a run, they removed the believable monster sizes, it's beginning to seem like they're going to remove being able to wear whatever you like from the initially available gear (at the cost of stats)...

There has to be a point where I won't be able to take it any more, right? Maybe if they break the smooth animation transitions, or mess-up the ambient sound quality or something...

I guess, for now, it may or may not be 1.18 that does it for me. We'll see.. I don't think it will see me off, though, really.

I know right. It's kind of exasperating to think that those changes were advertised as improvements. From my perspective, they were anything but!

I was never particularly enamoured with the mob behaviour in the game, but to remove it entirely rather than to improve upon it was not something I woud have wanted.

In my opinion they should have gone in the other direction and made it full collision-detection (as opposed to partial) and given mobs even more unique behaviours. The alternative they gave us (i.e. flat-out removing everything) should have been the first warning bell that this game was going nowhere, and yet somehow I still managed to give Yoshi the benefit of the doubt until recently.

Let's have FAITH.

Imagine, 1.18 : Battle System Change, means party formation will change with it , eg. different way to grind, different way to fight NMs

1.19: Grand Company / Dungeon : New place to party up rather than Broken Water

1.20: new Super NMs, new CLASS : It nice to fight more rank50 NMs, its fun to play new class with new battle system

1.21(Expansion): New area ( Isgard), new Job again ( More job), new dungeon(very possible), transportation(chocobo/airship)

1.22(Expansion continue): Rank up to 75!! (New skill, new area to stick around, like Morha, new NMs to fight with, new dugoen, new job quest, new items to collect)

1.23: New ideas to come! (Maybe like PVP team up, something like dynamic, ....etc)


SEE?! I'm so exciting!! You should be too! There's never a final straw!!
OMG! did i just sound like Yoshi??

Above are out of my imagination :P

I thought it was explicitly stated that dungeons were coming in 1.18?
