I'm still enjoying this game quite a bit, with every patch and new content released i'm enjoying it more and more. At first there was very little to do but now if i find i'm tired of doing a particular content, i go do something else. I really like the frontlines, Duty Roulette, and the fact I can be any class on a single character. I guess because I'm not a content sponge (soaking up all the content a week after its released) i'm able to enjoy it more. If you plow through content just to be one of the first to say "I did it!" or have nothing else to do but play the game and have all classes/jobs maxed, then that must really suck for you.


I think my favorite thing about this game is playing it with my two sons, my brother, a couple friends, and even starting to get my wife to play. That there is the best. My one son is 9 and isnt as adept at playing with mouse and keyboard but with the controller he's just as good as anyone else. I think the ones really dissatisfied with the game will be the veteran MMO players, who are looking for something more challenging, more involved, and maybe more complex. But for first time MMO players, this is a great way to wet your feet and get into the genre.

I really hate the way people crap all over this game and pray for its demise or want to change it into something completely different. If you are that unhappy with the game and it needs so many "fixes" to get it up to your standards, then it just might not be the game for you. You bought it, you played it, you subscribed to it. No one forced you. I have bought some pretty crappy games over the years and never once demanded compensation or they change the game to make it better. Such entitlement.

I will say this though, we are all basically paying to play a beta, for the most part. The game isnt finished, there are still core systems that have yet to be implemented (personal Housing, Golden Saucer, FC Summoning system, etc,) as well as planned dungeons and classes to be released. I could go more into detail on why i think its in this current state and why i'm patient about it but I fear I'm already losing some posters attention. I will give it up till 3.0 and a little after to see how things develop (possible changes to the Class/job system might come for 3.0) then I will know if i'm a lifer or a dabbler.

TL;DR
no matter what anyone does, someone will be unhappy with it. you fix and change one thing for one person and 5 more are upset. Please tell me how anyone could ever balance anything to make everyone happy? I fail to think of a single thing that everyone is satisfied with.
