Updates: FFXI and FFXIV, a comparison

[viion]

Why would they add new mobs when they'd have to adjust them with the battle difficulty.

Screenshotting mobs in work to make your fans cum all over vs not showing anything making your fans have stupid threads like this.

Example would be the 2 pieces of armour concept art they did. And look at its reception, no hate for at least 5 days. FIVE DAYS MAN.

Betel, what your saying about seeing nothing but they are developing, doesnt matter, because the fact is, after a year, they have told us what to expect, if everything goes as planned, we know what we will be getting, and its still way behind everything else, way behind what they did in the past, way behind what develpoers with 10 man teams achieve, way behind everything they did in FFXI.

Ok whatever happened in the past happened, but they need to step it up. Name any game that has made less progress in a year of development? They need to step it up drastically.

It's not actually, but you're not going to believe anything until you see it with your own eyes.

The class adjustments alone will make a longer list than the whole year of patches in XI combined.

Not that the end result will be a better game, but there sure as hell will be more of it than what XI saw pre-RotZ.

Um... actually they never gave any game play videos of anything you said....

and

Announcing a feature =/= showing us concepts of said feature. They did announce their current plans back in the first producer's letter in January. They didn't speak of the concepts for obvious reasons, just like they didn't speak of the concepts for companies or wedding cakes.

Ayayay. So I DO know a bit more than you guys. So you didn't see the wedding cake/rocket launcher/ship battle trailer? Was it never officially released on the English site? Yes, Beetle, they did actually show them in the trailer and they did speak about them in the following press conference ^.^/

Give me a second, maybe I can still find it on youtube.

Yes, they showed us a slideshow with a pic of a cake and a boat. At that point it was clear what the features were all about.

Or not, lol :/

I don't think they talked about them at any point. They showed the vid and moved on. If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.

[Rinsui]

Beetle, I correct you. ^.^

The irony is that the wedding cake actually has a chocobo topping.
So much for shattered dreams.

Btw, at 8:40 they also announce new hairstyles.
And a lot of other stuff that never saw the light of day.

Btw, just for fun: I found another live-action commercial the west most likely is not aware of ^^;

(Last trailer on the page, immediately before the job descriptions)

Still searching, but in the meantime I found another trailer the west most likely is not aware of ^^;

We are all aware of this, it was the prelive show, was shown prior to launch. Search Eorzea Prelive

Also not to mention the Hairstyles existed in our files on launch, and worked fine, but were removed Around the new year. So plans changed!

[Betelgeuzah]

We still know nothing of said features. It's like the stuff in the first letter of the producer, except with vague pics.

ffxi was finsh before they released it, expansions finshed before the came out. not the case with ffxiv now there making it on the fly, they should of took everything the learnd from ffxi and used that to build off of, but no the decide to make them selfs look like there new to making games, reinventing the wheel.

no, look at the patch notes, all of this stuff was not developed before the game came out, we re talking JP release here. They had numerous issues, reworks and rebalances that wouldnt have been needed if the game was already developed, such as adding magic bursts, the addition of Dlevel to all damage and accuracy equations, addition of mining. I dont know why i provide hard evidence, and people are going off supposition, and what they heard, or thought, look at the patch notes, it outlines all the foul ups, changes, tweaks, additions etc that happened in the life of ffxi.

once again look at the notes, pre rotz, they added 5 jobs 3 level cap increases, new zones, and 2 tiers of missions. 15 levels of skills and spells, even with the new job additions and changes the game will not come close to pre rotz changes
AND rotz came out 11 months after the game was released, within 1 year they did massive amounts of fixes, added vanilla content, AND worked on a new LARGE expansion.

there is simply not enough progress for the amount of time, even if they deliver every single thing on that list after a full year of work.

I am not saying they suck or they are bastards im saying ok, now we can look at the 1 year plan, and see that they are currently falling way behind where they should be in a years time. They need to look to increase productivity, i cant think of a single game mmo or not that could show so little actual development in a years time.
this is progress of the game expected by 1 year from release

addition of basic quests
3 large NMs
24 basic NMs
2 dungeons(or types)
7 job specializations
auto attack
rebalancing of job skills.
marketward search feature

thats it for 1 year of development, the list of ffxi can fill multiple pages, look at the list of guild wars 1 numerous class balances, new items and zones and a whole new expansion. aion went from 1.5 to 2.0. AOC, Warhammer.

the worst part is the game didnt even start with a lot, its not like they had a strong base content wise or a complete game, it was full of bugs, basic problems, over sights and a tremendous lack of content.

right now the development team is failing to produce development at a pace on par with thier past selves, and their current competitors, this is a serious problem.
