If you want to play something else, there are other games.

In the meantime I'm willing to discuss this further with you if you have something more in depth to say for your comments.
The game is on death's door. Clearly most people who bought the game have already opted for abandoning the game. Maybe half or even more than half of the player base is playing on faith that the game will be improved, and if they were assured that the game would remain the same as it is now, they would quit and the game would be shut down.

What I'm looking forward to now are the games that ARE reinventing the genre. I never liked or played the genre much in its early 21st century form(MMOs in the early 2000s, I go all the way back to FF1 and earlier for RPGs), I've been waiting for it to evolve some fun. FF14 really looked like it was going to be that game, but alas...

FF used to reinvent the genre with every title, or maybe a better way to put it is that they set a new standard. FF12 and FF13 however prove that not all changes made are innovations. An innovation has to improve the game play experience and most people agreed that FF12 and FF13 were low points for the series rather than something better.

When/if I give up on FF14, it is probably the last time I will ever trust SE enough to buy an SE game.

I offer criticism here because it is on the topic of the thread and it could help improve a game badly in need of improvement, and they are actually still working on the combat system, so suggestions are not at all pointless.

A major part of why I bought FF14 after the Warhammer fiasco was because I thought SE was a major company who would follow through on their projects.

My criticism here does not mean I do not enjoy the game at all. Why would I even bother then?

Is SE one of the dinosaurs of their industry now? Responsive, adaptive, innovative companies listen. They also lead. There's a whole new generation of MMOs on the near horizon and SE will have to launch the PS3 version against a lot of awesome new competition.

My comments here have offered much more depth than yours, which are frankly a bit repetitive compared to mine, so I don't know why you felt the need for your absurd and snippy comment at the end there. Then again this place does have that reputation, of not being able to handle the reality of this game. But it is never up to me whether you feel like you have something to say or not. And I certainly am not going to stop and think about "Meleena" of Cornelia whenever I feel like posting.
