Final Fantasy XIV Auto-Attack Video

And what source do you have backing up your claim that they had 3 years to develop the game... Development for a game begins far sooner then when the press or leaks release information.

You have peeked my curiosity...

I also fail to see how 3 years is "enough time" to develop an MMO, Blizzard is averaging 6-8 years development round estimate and they are cranking out massively popular games.

3 Years I'm guessing from them showing demos and begin releasing information. It was announced in 05, so if you're saying they started before then, then that just proves my point further more and makes XIV look way worse.

XIV isn't rushed, SE is slow, and XIV current stage is proof of that.

I am saying your claims have no bases, you think an MMO is developed in 3 years time which is laughable. You also believe that we should have stayed in the stone age which is also laughable. And every other post you mention TERA why the hell are you even here? go hang out on the TERA forums.

TERA is not the standard by which all games should be modeled, its not even out yet in NA..

IMO it's about to be. :S

BTW if you are trying to defend or justify release-date-FFXIV in any way, you already lost.

Nobuaki Komoto dances around the words but he even starts off by stating they released the game way to soon...

Post anything you have that says other wise and ill being to believe you and viion.

What TERA!

If anything all MMO's should model themselves after WoW, Supreme ruler of the MMO universe.

I think you misunderstood what viion was trying to say. He was saying that even though SE had since 2005 to develop this game, they still put out a crappy product that felt like it had been rushed.

You guys are both arguing essentially the same point: that the game in its retail launch incarnation was horrible. You are also both right. It's true that the team had since at least 2005 to work on this game. Also, given SE's snail pace of development time, they weren't even finished by the time the launch date loomed near, so the executives forced them to "rush" to "finish" the game in time for launch by any means necessary. (Red text may or may not be true and is only speculation on my part)

3 years time is not much time, i do feel that they pry had been working on it longer then when it was announced in 2005 but how much longer? 5 months, 3 years, 4 minutes who knows. All i was saying IMO was that blizzard and other companies spend much more time developing their MMO's and reap the benefits (I hate WoW but sub numbers and cash don't lie); FF XIV was rushed my point and case.

My bad, Nobuaki Komoto the producer of FF XIV which is all you need to know.

Yep. That's because other companies like Blizzard are much more efficient with their development time. SE's developers are inefficient because they spend so much time in development, yet do not end up with a quality product that justifies such long development times.

FF XIV was rushed my point and case.

It was probably rushed the last 6 months/1 year of development, but I doubt they were rushed for the previous 4.5+ years of development.
