SE WAKE UP! 90% of the lost subscriber base was expecting FFXI-2!

[Heartfire]

What attracted me was the idea that it would be similar to XI, but without the time consumption. I thought it would be just as thrilling and fun, but without the hassle of collecting 5 other like-minded people to achieve any goal.

Wrooooong.

thank you for verifying that a fanboy has absolutely nothing worth of value towards the game's natural progression after it's near death experience.

Says the guy complaining about wanting the same thing, just with better graphics.

Flame threads bore me :/

I'd like to use Pokemon: Black as an example to support the original poster.

They used everything from the previous game, plus added new mechanics and other subtle treasures. Some trainers now heal your pokemon in the middle of a dungeon, there are some 3D cutscenes, there is a lot of side-content (think- Golden Saucer from FF7) and so on. They simply built on previous games, and yet, it's a whole new experience because they balanced Pokemon types and attack types while adding new competitive elements (3 v 3 battle and Wonder Room teams). This is all SE needs to do. Build on the basics of what made FFXI succeed and incorporate a few fresh spins on how to improve them. Trying to do everything new and ignoring everything players wanted and approved of did not work. It's time that they at least try and see if we knew what we were talking about.

Are you a member of SE?

Do you even have stock?

No? Then why should they entrust the company MMO's future to you?

A good majority of these ideas are horrible even in the short term, I can't see how they would even translate well in japanese.

EDIT: and let's be honest, we're the faceless forumgoers, will you fess up if its your idea they take and gets flamed?

FFXIV is far from dead. That is all.

Oh and there is 1 more thing: The game is still free. Think of it as extended Beta testing.

6] you defend the economy-killing & bland armory system that does not allow for uniqueness all because you want to play dress up doll with your mancats.

OH DANG HE'S ON TO ME.

7] you enjoy teleporting everywhere instead of traveling in a dangerous world.

if by traveling in a dangerous world you mean wading through a sea of buff goats and fluffy sheep.

Some of them goats are ravenous.

Don't forget Dodos and Coblyns! With the new increase in Mob Sizes, it truely is a terrifying place to travel.

[Ostia]

Hundreds of thousands huh ?

I wonder why the game is free <.<
