Current State of the Game

@Slatervonjager its kind of funny cause your sig kind of shows how accepting people are of slow grinds and stuff like rare drops/difficult-deeper gameplay. Monster hunter is one of japan's biggest franchises ever, even in the west it sells quite well, and that game contains stuff most MMOs now treat like its the devil. It can be very grind, Its very much about rare drops, repetitive type content, Doesnt hold your hand, and it has some randomness and depth to it....yet it sells like crack cocaine and you see constant ripoffs of it (which mostly dont work out well).

It just goes to show that those kind of aspects of games still work for people...lots of them...Yet games like this fight for the opposite short term, easy peasy, hand it to me on a silver platrer style of game.

Well TBH i feel that FFXIV ARR is designed for western gamers (specially usa generation X console gamers,yes i had the nerve to said this we all think this but not many people dare to say it)

It is, which is sort of weird, we do have plenty of those already, but when you see the more recent Mh games sales (tri and the WiiU version) you see the western sales are going up. MH has been pretty limited outside of japan, we never got half the games and most of the ones we did get are on handhelds and mainly systems that didnt sell well (excluding the wii, which had its own sales of software issues in the first place). Just like the fantastic Resident Evil 1 remake on gamecube, you cant say it was bad and noone wanted it, you just only sold it to the lest selling system and the one aimed at a younger playerbase.

I have to say RE remake for the gamecube was such a nice game. I wish capcom remake 1-2 3 and veronica the same way.
I'm glad you didn't take my "usa console gamer" comment personally, i meant it in a NO personal attack to anyone.
