This is not FFXI.

what is wrong with Battle Regimen? I never failed a BR after they made it more simple. What the hell is wrong then? Is so freaking easier to do BR now then last time. All you need to do is team coordination!

Battle regiments are ok, only problem is no one really uses them because you can que the attack or spell but someone wont que or everyone is just attack , attack , attack. so it dosent make sence. in 11 all you had to do was hit a weapon skill your Chr would do it and within 3 seconds after your weaponskill all someone had to do was there weapon skill and if thay link theres your skill chain. the BR system you have to que a attack or weapon skill or spell then wait wile you wait your inactive , not doing damage and wasteing time in the process.

It clearly isn't FFXI because then this would be a good game.

-1 to you.

In fact, it would be an antiquated game with few options and would be met with even more disdain than the current FFXIV.

FFXI wasn't that good either so I really don't see the point.

This. FFXI isn't really a "Good" game for these MMO times but it was a "Good" game for its time. Not taking into account the still good qualities it does have but just the overall design of strict party based play(and etc).

Oh snap. You're gonna stir up some serious trouble with a post like that. Not that I disagree.

I know and that's precisely why I did it. It seems that many people still seem to agree with me however since the game of ages past has a higher subscriber rate than this one.

what exactly makes a party based game so ubber? the hours WAITING on that magical party invite? the hours searching for those other desprite-to-level ppl TO invite? sure! 11 had a fov if everything else failed and you could /whm, /dnc or /rdm but really the xp you got off that was fail compared. get bored of that and craft........which you had to spend major amounts of gil to get? but first you needed the gil or items, so had to farm. means soloing which is btw what you JUST got through opting out of....but now you are soloing for items with an alright to sucky drop rate FOR might I add no xp. Then there is storyline.....but a player needs a party once they get to the major bosses......... what am i missing here....OH! CHOCOBORAISING!!!!! breed your own little tike! costs you lots of gil to raise it IF you raise it properly and if you want to cut down on that you need to level cooking OR plant things in your mog house......both cost a nice penny for sure. once he is grown you can race, treasure hunt or just walk about on your pretty little pet that cost you an arm and a leg. then they put in znms and the teir nms....that lasted all of a few months and no one has really looked back on it. so again what exactly makes 11 better than 14? as of the moment only thing this game really lacks is af as a means of character uniqueness, some more story line, better side quests with more variety and some expanded areas. and to make life easier a better means of transportation. all....by the way soloable or party opted depending on the player.

What SE should have done was taken things from good MMO's that worked, like FFXI and the Mog House and Item Search function and Auction Houses; things that worked - and implemented them into FFXIV before release. It is a shame that they did not do this, and in fact, focused primarily on how good their story is rather than focusing on a game that actually outlasts the single player's campaign.
