Do you think Yoshida will deliver in 1.18?

[zaviermhigo]

I have no idea what to think about the 1.18 patch.
As always we are being kept in the darkness until the patch notes are up.

It feels like we are being "Juiced" with temptation over and over and over again...

No,...im certain this "Godsent" patch wont satisfy my expectations.
Right now i enjoy playing my Final Fantasy V Advance more than FFXIV.

I've been playing the news sims 3 expansion (generations) sadly making my teen sims have a teen party is a lil more fun :/

This game needs about 6 more patches and a year of work before its saved so I say 1.18 will disappoint more people than it'll please simply because everyone here is expecting way too much when clearly no one from the dev team said its going to save the day.

I kind of agree, before the game is saved it needs to finish whatever battle system they want to implement(and hopefully it isnt lame), fix sp gain so there is multiple entertaining ways to level up, add new and different looking zones, finish jobs add new classes, add the missing races, some alternate forms of experience for crafters, more quests that matter, and have an interesting progression. progress the main plotline. and uhhh have some challenge mode type content, like nyzul or survival or somesuch, some epic boss fights, and interesting dungeons

at that point i think the game will be fairly marketable, and able to do well, then they just have to promote the heck out of it.


As for this patch, well.... it is the first patch with any content in a real long time, so that in and of itself should be somewhat entertaining...

Color me skeptical but still hopeful... Actually, 1.18a is where we'll likely see good things as I'm sure they won't test 1.18 and it'll be full of lovely little bugs for us to report.

If the patch is delayed expectations are going to rise even more because people will think they're adding something else instead of thinking it just wasent ready.

This patch is NOT and I mean will NOT live up to expectations, no matter what happens. I expect to see the very basic groundwork for the new battle system but expect it will take another 3-4 possibly even 5 more patches to flesh it all out and we haven't even began to talk about jobs.

Quest hubs could be a crap shoot, they could be awesome if theres sp on turn in, fail if they're like the quests we have now.

Not enough info really to say just how good the patch will be.

SE is way too understaffed to be impressive. Everything they give us will be under developed. You can quote me wildly on that.

SE has trouble even meeting our expectations, let alone exceeding them.

why does everyone expect alot out of this patch? because everytime we bring up we want this or that such as mail or chocobo's we get flamed talking about how 1.18 will be this godsend patch to fix everything then they can work on the BASIC items that should have been in game since day 1. it could also have alot to do with yoshi himself constantly talking about what they are working on and 1.18 in the same paragraph. i do not expect them to be in it, but whether he is trying to or not he has hyped up 1.18 to be huge.

now on to what do i expect? slower battle due to a very basic battle change involving nothing more than adding auto attack. one or 2 dungeons that take 10-15 minutes total each to complete. more mobs that drop pre-made gear that are super easy. tons of bugs that they will take weeks to fix as part of a 1.18b,c and call them patches by themselves. last thing i expect to be added an another targeting change.

Autoattack is lol-worthy. We should have kept Tanaka and had player-run companies and ships by now.

[Gramul]

mmmmmmaybe.

And no one to play with.

And no one to play with.

What are you insinuating? That Yoshi has raked in the subscribers?
