Make FFXIV more like FFXI and less like WoW

[LordSaviour]

well how should i say this hm...

Stuff

Yes, there have been a slew of other MMO's since XI, for them to gather information on and copy the playstyle, UI and mechanics.... But.....They took the 2 years to completely redo this game. You need to view this as an Official launch of a brand new game. Not a game that has been out since 2010. They haven't had the time to really work in a true end game system. Seems like they have had a lot of set backs, starting with Open Beta to Early Release.

You kind of contradict yourself in that reply ...

You want all the end game content available now, but then go on to say that rushing things out will lack Quality and real content.

yoshi mentioned that he wants to continue to expand and grow FFXIV for a decade. This game has room to grow, evolve and get better with every patch.

I think Yoshi's mindset behind leveling not being a big part of the game is to sell more Copies of the game. Being able to complete the story mode before the end of your 'trial' period is over, is very attractive to offline gamers seeking a good story and a fun game. This could lead to more subs, if said person ends up enjoying the type of game ARR has become.

Well, i dont need ALL the Content right with the start, all i do i asking for Long Lasting Content and a complex Combat System and a Combat System which let you enjoy the fight more and not 90% of the time watching my Cooldowns or Redline of deaths.

I am sorry to say but i srsly cant see this game as a new one, i played 1.0 until the End. Yoshi had enough time to create atleast one finihsed Content and dont a half-baked one which get patched 6 Months later after the release.

I can understand you in certain parts of your post but to be honest: A MMO which trys to attract the larger Playerbase from the beginning (probly the biggest one ie. WoW) dont have time. This Kind of MMOs growing faster out of the nowhere then you can think. Time is something what this kinds of MMOs dont have.

My Opinion a Armory System shouldnt only be used like a tool to let People have all classes on 1 Character, it should be like in XI where u could have geared all Classes if you spended years on it for the perfect Builds. Sure it had a handicap called inventory space, but this easily could have been fixed it wasnt something that were impossible to program.

Rising Level caps and creating gear which isnt Lasting isnt the key to win in my opinion its the way to attract much People and getting Money for a short period of time before going f2p if the subbings droping with the next release of another MMO which is kinda similar to the current ones.
