Do you want to play Final Fantasy XIV?

[SuzakuCMX]

I want to play FFXIV when it's good, but right now it isn't.

I don't think it's all that bad really. I could do without jobs. The main things I want to see are the battle reform/balance and more ways to level up than leves/behest (DISGUISE GRIND). So I'm really looking forward to the dungeons, quest hubs, and sidequest SP rewards. After that they could focus on stuff like Chocobos, Airships, redoing the land, varied mobs, crafting/gathering, etc. I don't really want to change the feel of the game as much as I want stuff to actually do in the game.

I mean how many people log on and say "What should I do today?" and not "Which leves/NMs/crafts am I going to grind today?"

Funny, I normally like your posts.

But I never said that FFXIV is the greatest game of all time. Or that it's fully functional as it is right now.
I just think that people want to change this game completely, even at the cost of making the game completely unoriginal.

That the original ideas of FFXIV are not working is another issue. And that's where my part of "Perhaps we have to wait and see...."

Sorry, I too occasionally jump the gun.

But I get irritated when people have knee-jerk reactions because a suggestion has its roots in another game. There's value in looking at what competition has, and it's something that's been part of game development almost since the beginning.

It's almost a year already and there's pretty much zero progress.

Don't lie. We have market ward searches, and target modes A-Q. And bigger mobs.

Of course there's value, not only in this game, in many games. And as many have stated there are some standards in games in general that come (and some go) with each generation. I'm not really against getting ideas from games (or the whole standards thing), it's just that instead of making it look that FFXIV can learn from those games, some make it look as if XIV needs to implement things exactly as other games. Instead of you know, making them work for XIV instead of the other way around.

For example, I saw a post the other day saying that underwater battles could/might/should be implemented, because WoW (or some other game, can't remember) has them. Ok, perhaps they might be cool. But do they fit XIV? I don't really think so.

Loving the sarcasm xD

I still think EVE's character creation system is better, but also I heard about the fallout from a $70 eye patch.

BTW, EQ2 is adding build your own dungeon. That'd be a cool feature to add.

I play Final Fantasy games because they have Final Fantasy in its title.

Hell I play Chocobo tales or any other game thats even linked with a Final Fantasy game what so ever.

From all the FF fans I know, and i know alot, we are a different breed and will hang in with them to the bitter end. They will get it right. It might take them awhile, but this game will be great. I have no doubt that I will think back on this game with fond memories in the end just like I do with XI(which is still going strong btw). SE creates that. Every wow player I have met is just like. Yep...i played WoW for awhile. We talk about friends and adventure and genuine fondness that the FF lore and community creates. We will get everything else in time and eventually have so many things do to, we won't know what to do first. This game has what XI had, and no other MMO has even come close to, a friendly interactive community of like minded friends who care about each others experience.

I do want to play it.

I'm not playing it, because the game is currently not playable by my standards.

And that's why I come here to complain to SE.

Let me guess, another one of those "FF14 IS GRATE BECUZ ITS ALL ORIGINAL AND ALL ORGNIAL STUFF IS GOOOD EVEN IF ITS NOT RELEY FUNCTIONAL" topics?

I'm going to put a lot of miles on this picture: http://i53.tinypic.com/fyk4cp.png

I agree sometimes it's like watching the parents cheer at special Olympics here. >__> cute but a little awkward.
