Your thoughts on the direction of this game?

Totally agree, need some sort of customization on gears and characters and horizontal progression with some gears options or side grade. I think FF14 is a great game with tons of great ideas and very good quality of life. But it still has way too many kinks that need to be ironed out. There are plentiful contents now. He really needs to remix some of the old contents and add new vanities, mounts, or gears to mix it up a bit and become less musty. Grinding is not a big deal at all, but we want FUN ADDICTIVE GRIND with randomize gears (Borderlands did great with this). As well as abilities to customized - at the very least give us horizontal options in accessories.

Huh, interesting review. Video for anyone: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/vide...th-Square-Enix

Thanks for the vid. Never heard of this guy but agree 100% with SE's problems. Really hope they listen and get their grove back sooner rather then later.

Just look how did they change Summoner to Warlock for an example. ARR feels boring now, so i returned to FFXI.

Would you have preferred they went the FFXI route and made SMN invalid in content for large chunks of the game's life cycle?

I don't understand why people are so offended by the notion that a game in the FF series will have a different take on an existing concept. Did you want the job to be terrible for the sake of novelty? Honest question here.

I think the focus of the game since ARR's launch has been on attracting the masses an creating content that reflects that accessability/casual crowd.

However over time i believe it will eventually shift to keeping current subscribers, which would then focus more on the endgame, capped, and long waiting veteren's of the game. Which would look more like 1.23, which had harder, challenging, and more high end focus.

I enjoy the game's pace atm, but it will def need to change tempo once things settle. The games first expansion will really set the standard of things and likely predict how the future content will be.

Am I the only one who feels like Yoshida is insulting our intelligence making this game so easy a caveman can do it?

My personal opinion is that the direction isn't something that I fully like in some areas, but in others I love. I can deal with the few things I don't like to enjoy the things that I do. I play both this, and WoW so when I start feeling that drain and burn on one I shut the game off and go to the other for a few days/week and then come back just fine. I think the biggest problem right now is the diffence between what we as players envisioned this game would be, and what they as developers envisioned it would be, and let's be honest, player and dev vision has very rarely seen eye to eye

edit:

Thanks Curia for allowing me to bring up another point on how the end game in this game and boss fights are absolutely dumb. I also want to thank you for hiding behind an "Alt". Anyway, this whole if one person dies bs your group basically can't finish it is ridiculous. I've made it to divebombs in t9 in PUGs multiple times even to 7%, I repeat PUGs, however one person dies and then pretty much ruins the fight for us. The person dying is never me though. But back on topic, only having one raid on a weekly lockout is poorly designed and offers no replayability when once a group does beat t9 they have 6-9 done in a day.

Here is my main's profile, feel free to browse it. Sounds to me more like you're one of those, "Everyone in my group sucks but me" type of raiders. Usually people like you won't meet with success, but are too stubborn to ever find their own faults.

Team Jump Rope as they call it. It's not difficult content, it's content where if someone doesn't follow the script properly..that's the end for you.

By saying it's not difficult that means you are claiming to have mastered the content. Saying, "Oh it's scripted 2ezzzzzzz" but never having beaten it means that your word is worth nothing. Sorry, but that's the unfortunate truth of the matter. If you have no experience it just means you're arguing concepts without ever putting it into practice.

lol, cool one raid as "hard content".

If you're going to preach about how the game is ridiculously easy then he should be able to back up his claims. Technically, with his statement, he should be face rolling Savage Turn 9... yet he hasn't even cleared normal. I'm sure you're intelligent enough to spot the irony in this claim.

Maybe it's his alt character. He might have a main that has all 3 achievements.
