Games should not rely on time sinks to retain players. Each day it passes I am more convinced the worst enemy FFXIV has, second only to Square-enix himself, is FFXI players that are still stuck in an era of gaming that is no longer realistic or feasible.

This guy speaks the truth


Srsly... if u loved FFXI .. go and play it.


LEARN SOME MATH!

11 =/= 14

If u want to play 11, go and play 11....

Dont bring here ur silly argument about "grinding is fun".
I have fun when I experience a dynamic experience... and not when im spaming buttons... if u want to spam buttons then go and play something else.

lets face it every game gets clones, why not ffxi. also as a million people stated ffxi is no longer ffxi either. take shooters for instance ...what the real difference in each shooter game, not alot. ..they are shooters. while mmo's can be all somewhat different they still kinda the same, so why do they need to all be the same easy mode. there isn't really a medium to playing on extreme hardcore mode or easiest mode in the game. they can't really mix it without halfing the games content for everyone. though casual shouldn't care they don't have the time to do it all apparently ...and they don't want to play a game for years?

xi may get a clone and be called xi-2, but this game is not xi nor is it xi-2.

but it isn't wow as well, and it shoudn't be a game that is so easy you can call it a cash shop game, cause your 16bucks is paying for the gear and weapons. it's so easy ..your monthly bill is what keeps it easy and hands you your drops. it's almost not a mmo then. it's gear fashion fantasy for 16bucks for casuals.

nobody said it was wow. i, quite frankly, don't want the super easy wow nor do i want the same pull and spank the same mob grind camps all day either.

when i think of final fantasy i think of all the quests that those games bring. i could care less about the pull and camp grinds. my favorite memories from the final fantasy games in the past were the quests and optional things to do in those games. whether, it be, omega weapon, tetra master, blitzball, looking for your ultimate weapon, chasing down your summons and fighting them, or just fights that were difficult in general that you lost many times to that is what final fantasy is along with a big breathtaking story.

i'm not saying i like the easy mode the game has went to, but with all the personal attacks that has went on in these forums it's not a suprise that it is being done. they have been taking away one layer of depth at a time and anytime anyone said anything about them being removed it has been one personal attack on them after another.

the funny part is it was ok for the other things that took away the fun part of other peoples games it was ok, but now that an alternate way of transportation is attainable by all it is a big issue. these forums should have been complaining along with the people that seen this coming months ago instead of personally attacking them when they brought up the concerns.
