Honesty Time - How do you feel about FFXIV?

[Skeeter]

Pretty disappointed to be honest. The controls and UI just feel way too restrictive and cumbersome. It has improved a bit since release but they still have a long way to go, this game is a step back in this department from games released in 2004 and earlier. I don't want a WoW clone but there is a reason every MMO out uses the same basic controls and user interface, it just works and is very easy. Don't be different for the sake of being different. If you do something different do it better. It is like they have never played other MMOs besides FFXI before.

does the soundtrack and environment feel kind of like a mistfit Tim Burton film to you, too?

Something along those lines. Had me banging my head on the desk after I was done with Bentbranch.

I don't think they played FFXI either.
