The Many Deaths of Final Fantasy XIV

[Violyre]

Today, we take a hop over to the drama regarding the addition of jumping!

35. It's Just a Jump to the Left: In the early days of Final Fantasy XIV, players walked everywhere on foot. The dangers presented in the wilds we treacherous, as we tried to avoid hungry monsters, ravenous beastmen, and waist-high fences. To traverse the world, players had to find paths around various objects, which was a mild inconvenience. "Please give us the ability to jump!" the players beseeched SE. And thus, SE announced that jumping would be added, but the loudest groups protested. "I don't want to sit in town and watch people spam jump!" cried the people who sit in town and look pretty. "Jumping is just another way for cheaters to exploit to get into blocked areas!" cried another. "There has never been jumping in a Final Fantasy game!" bellowed the people who skipped the FFXIII set. "DRG CONFIRMED" said the pre-1.21 lancers. Many players quit the game at this point, causing Sony to give yet another apology, but SE had to take the servers offline because the game was no longer profitable.

This one actually took me a couple days to research. o.o

Based on a post by someone who can't read...

So why is the op still playing?

Clearly they have little love for the game, maybe that is because they spend more time scouring the net trying to find what's wrong with it instead of just playing it.

If you don't like it, no one is forcing you to play. Sure there is bad stuff but there is a lot of good too. Why not compile a mile long list of the good stuff too, that would at least make you more valid. But starting basically an "Ihateffxiv" thread here and on tumblr really does little for your credibility.

...I will soon be starting a companion thread, "The Many Lives of Final Fantasy XIV." That thread will have a more serious tone to it than this, as we thank SE for changes that we got or good decisions.
