The Letter is up

[Physic]

People overwhelmingly dislike anything because they are ignorant. You are a minority if you are a person of intelligence in ANY everyday group or situation. A crap load of people disliked the party recruitment system saying that they couldn't type in comments and specifics or have class/rank requirements. Oh.. are all those things in the party recruitment? Hmm... I guess people are that gullible and believe the loud mouths (you) in threads like these.

Saying that most people think the way you do means nothing for that very reason. The FFXIV development team is loosely going to get your feedback, but they are not making the game for irrational people. I dislike some systems in FFXIV too and we are past looking at this game as being perfect. So, while you're unimpressed and hardly ever satisfied, ask yourself. Should you really stay? Cause all you're doing is complaining. I'm just trying to save you from yourself being a bitter gamer that makes it impossible for anyone to really like them.

once again whether i stay or not is irrelevant to this thread, or this game. The reasons why people may choose to leave, and how they feel about this letter are relevant. Dont get mad at people for stating their opinions on the letter, or saying why they are happy or not happy about it, the point of the forum is to do that.

The reason i bring up other people is not to say they are smart, i bring them up to let you know, this is not one random crazy person.

My point was that AA really wasnt the problem with battle, and adding AA isnt going to make battle entertaining, some people felt like it was, but now with the video in their face it doesnt seem like it will. Hopefully the other changes with monsters, and npc groups, along with rebalances will, but this video doesnt make it seem that way. the damage is the same as normal, If anything it makes battle seem even less complex, i get the feeling that the goblin was basically a programmed training dummy, but still, its not really making battle look more challenging.

btw, dont really care if people really like me, and if im bitter im bitter. People will complain, when things arent up to snuff or they will leave, the person who is complaining is more useful to you as a creator, because even though they rain on your parade, they give you tangible feedback, that is useful. Im here to give real feedback, not just be encouraging and optimistic.

The good
Unique WS animations
The bad
AA seems to add little to combat, and from the video, seems to even take away some excitement

you dont like my opinion, i dont care, im posting so that the devs can get a real response, whether they do something with it is up to them.

The problem with your assessment is assuming that AA is the only thing geared towards fixing the battle system. Are there a lot of people not impressed with it? Yeah, of course. Are the people who like the looks of it? For sure. We can all state opinions all day long but only time will tell. AA is the priority for patch 1.18, but it is not the end of the battle system overhaul. That has been said before so if you are waiting for 1.18 to fix all the problem with the game, you are waiting only for your own disappointment.
