FFXIV: Different and Unique

[Vanguard319]

I've known a few people who left to play Rift, only to come back because Rift was just a carbon copy of WoW. That should tell you how tired ppl are of playing the same thing, yet as soon as someone comes up with something original, they immediately b@#$! about it, and demand it be changed into what they're familiar. It's like Immortality in the literary sense, the hero may desire it, but when he finds it, it's almost always a curse.

I dont think this is really a problem, i feel new ideas can work with people if they are executed, unfortunately developers dont try to innovate cause they are afraid they may fail, they would rather take the safe audience and just copy things. SE did not execute and i guarantee you if they took all their ideas they were talking about pre beta and actually executed them this would be a unique experience that people enjoyed. Too many people are blaming players and saying they want an mmo copy, that isnt true at all. we want SE to execute on SOMETHING, cause up until now they have failed.

Now they are in damage control so they really have no choice but to resort to dumbed down stuff to try to gather enough curious gamers to charge. They missed their window to create an epic unique game, we did not do this to them, and people that say that its our fault are terribly wrong. I think people need to understand the fact that this game will probably never live up to expectations. It missed the window to truely innovate unrestricted by trying to rush fix the game, and it will always carry the stigma of its launch. Sooner people realize this the sooner companies will learn to execute, because then more companies will lose business.

So instead of betting on odds and evens you want to bet it'll land on it's edge. Well let me tell you something, anyone can talk big, but very few deliver it, and sometimes it's by pure chance.

It's Delusions Of Grandeur. Let's face it, if you want to bet your livelyhood on a lottery of a million or more to one odds, sure, but I say the odds are you'll instead is to go out and get a lame boring job...and maybe even a better then just lame job.

Less movies and more reality.

So you mean I will never have a vampire that sparkles & a werewolf fight for my love... though truthfully I will pick the vampire because I'm shallow that way.*tearing up*

Why do you have to ruin it.... *runs away crying*

I dont know exactly what you are replying to in my post? to me you seem to be agreeing with me that it is much easier to just settle for doing easy lame things then play odds and try to make greatmess. If so then yes that is my point. If you are disagreeing with me i dont quite understand your post im afraid

Thats because i think most fans of FF want XIV to be a offspring of the awesome XI not WOW FF online fans most i know were expecting just that a upgraded version of the brilliance that was XI, or at least keep the meat and potatoes of what made that game great!

WHY DO PPL KEEP SAYING FANS OF FF EXPECTED OR WANTED A WOW CLONE FROM SE?

FF and WoW are soooooo different and anyone that liked wow seemed to hate XI so why would they come to XIV expecting anything to be like wow?
Its obvious that alot that dont like this game were XI Fans that expected "XI-2" or at least something close to being as good if not better....
Get mad if you want say what you will but for some reason i think this is a bit more than just my opinion.
Look at he threads theres tons of them about just what i said, you see a few haters but i think its pretty commonly agreed upon opinion.... sigh..
