Final Fantasy 14 is starting to lose appeal because...

[Rakeesh]

I want you to point out where i said turn this into FFXI? Please go ahead i'll wait.

Its brought up because its a comparison of the only other MMO this company has made and how it was able to push out content in the same time period. I know FFXI won't work in this MMO, it doesn't have the battle system (gear switching), secondary stat pool, etc. But that doesn't mean people shouldn't hold SE to a higher standard of content creation when it comes to their second MMO, because right now its extremely lack luster.

Was just a general trend I've noticed in the past few threads.

The problem is what you think is lackluster I think is perfectly fine. It's a matter of opinion. I'm fine with them pacing out their content. I'm too used to other MMOs frontloading their expansion release and then running out of steam later on leaving players with huge content droughts until the next expansion is out.

Would it be awesome if there was more content. Yes. Am I fine with what I have. Yes. Those are not mutually exclusive.

And it's not like FF11 is perfect in that regard either. How about the 5 year gap between the Wings of the Goddess expac and the Seekers expac?

Let's turn this into a game.

Final Fantasy 14 is starting to lose appeal because...

...It doesn't have a pegasus mount yet.

Someone bump up that thread that has a list of everything that was supposed to kill the game.

In FFXIV, each dungeon follows the same template....

But isn't that like other MMOs, where you have to conquer a dungeon and kill a boss? When a new dungeon is released, you have to think of strategy since you're new to the place. Once that strategy is set, then it's passed on to others to the point that all you gotta do is memorize rotations and plan cooldowns. Hey maybe if the players that already beaten it did not spill out the tactics to newcomers, then maybe it could be more challenging. Lol. NOPE, you will only get pissed off players.

Well, yes. Except for those 3 examples I cited immediately before the comment you quoted. And probably some others I neglected to mention.

For all you people telling the players who are bored and asking for new content to quit:

If everyone quits, the game dies.

Logic 101.

So a handful of people posting on the forums is everyone. Ergo, the game is actually only populated by a few hundred people.

Sample size. I can use your argument against you. So the handful of people who are arguing that the game is fun is everyone? Ergo, the game is actually only populated by a few hundred people.

Patch 3.1 can't come soon enough. The drama is never ending in here.

FF11 gameplay elements

And honestly. None of that really sounds appealing to me. I always hated randomized dungeons. And artificially increasing the difficulty of a place by locking you out of your abilities instead of making the place challenging mechanically sounds like lazy design.

In FFXIV, each dungeon follows the same template. What did you do in Sastasha? You pulled some trash mobs, fought a boss, pulled some trash mobs, fought a boss, pulled some trash mobs, fought a boss. What did you do in Copperbell? You pulled some trash mobs, fought a boss, pulled some trash mobs, fought a boss. What about Halatali? Same thing. Haukke Manor? Sunken Temple of Qarn? Wanderer's Palace? Amdapor Keep? Yeah. Same thing. And the pattern continues in Heavensward.

Follow boss mechanics of varying difficulties or die. You realize that this is the general state of dungeons and raids in most MMORPGs, right? And has also proven itself to be quite popular as well.

Patch 3.1 doesn't add anything new except the airship thing. Rest of it is just another form of having to run instances to make the gear you worked for the last 2 months completely obsolete.
