FFXI-2?

[FilthyDisco]

This crap again? This game isn't FFXI, it isn't FF VII, it isn't any other title, but FFXIV. It will take a good chunk of time before this game is even CLOSE to as good as either of those games were. Doesn't mean it's a remake of them, though.

I did, back when I was playing XI and SE announced a next gen MMO. I was hoping for a game that also takes place in vana'diel whether in the future or a different part of the map.

However I was still excited for the game when I learned it wasn't and was hyped to play at launch. Unfortunately it turned out horrible.

I don't know who's fault it is, I'd like to blame SE's greed lol. Either way, since YoshiP took charge the game has become a lot more fun. Tanaka had great ideas but they didn't turn out well. An "easier said than done" situation I suppose.

Its was more like Tanaka not having enough time to recover from the unfortunate premature release. He actually only did 1 patch and was moved a bit after second one was announced. I'm still waiting to see what Yoshida has in mind...until now all i saw was a bunch of copy/paste from FFXI.

Also, i particularly believe the original FFXIV had potential to surpass any other MMO ever made...was just a shame that it was killed by 2 fatal mistakes...the premature reease (it should've stayed in beta at least another 6 months) and the dev team change (nothing against Yoshida team. I just think the original dev team actually had no chance to react to the terrible release before being replaced).

IDK about that. Having recently completed the main story, it was not great. There were really 2 missions that i consider well done. the R38 and R46. Also, not a whole lot changed between beta and release. It's almost as if having a beta was pointless.

Also as far as YoshiP copying and pasting from XI, I couldn't disagree more. XI was so cruel to casual players it was borderline absurd. YoshiP panders to them.

What is happening to this forum?

Suddenly everyone is agreeing with me.

I guess the Yoshi-P novelty has finally worn off.

/disagree

nope, novelty is still there

Novelty is all he's got.

Novelty over substance.

[User201109011315]

blah blah blah

you raise a fair point.

lol YoshiP has done great things for the game, however in situations like the airship fast travel I'm beginning to think he has a problem with simply making a decision. In his attempt to appease the players he's beginning to realize he can't appease everyone and it's driving him crazy. /opinion.
