Game is ruined (FFXIV 2.0)

[Jennestia]

I dont see how it looks like wow.

Probably the flood of icons for actions, which existed prior to WoW, but because WoW got popular people always refer to it.

So dumb. Whatever, OP's feeble mind probably can't comprehend the coming changes. And loljudging things in development.

The game looks like WoW. Everything about it sounds like any other MMORPG. FFXIV was good because it was UNIQUE. FFXI was unique too. Now, they're gone and resorted to copying everything else in order to try to revive the game and not have the game be a big sunk cost.

It's just... sad. I'm all for improvements upon the game. I'm all for a better FFXIV. I don't like the current state of affairs, but the newer one doesn't look like an improvement... definitely not what I've been hoping for.

You know, I don't remember WoW looking that good. Last I checked, the characters were made out of jagged blocks and the landscapes out of play-doh. Oh, wait... there was that weird filter thing which added a bit of blurryness and tarted up the lighting. Shame the characters still look like someone's re-arranged their face with a chainsaw. If WoW ever looked half as good as that concept screenshot I'd buy everyone in Blizzard a round of beers. That said, I think my money is safe.

Seriously though, I absolutely ADORE the concept screenshot. I realise things are subject to change, and that might not reflect the final version, yadda yadda, but what I see I like. What I like, I'm willing to pay for. That means SE has got my subscription when things change over later this year.

LOL @ THIS THREAD

2.0 is the only thing that will save this game.

Or end it.

[Anonydort]

all these constant snarky and demeaning comments I keep seeing on the forums make me realize that the game is beyond saving, not because of the content but because of the community. It's a complete opposite of XI, it now feels like i'm reading wow forums

Or end it.

It's already dead. There's not much more damage a game redesign can do.

[Doho]

Crevox. Delete your character. I dare you. Post a screenshot. I DOUBLE DARE YOU. I DOUBLE DARE YOU WITH MARK SUMMERS FILMED IN FRONT OF A LIVE STUDIO AUDIENCE TRIPLE DOG DOUBLE DARE YOU. and then post it here. Then and only then, will we truly know that you are done with FFXIV.

This is just.. terrible.

The game looks like WoW, and everything about it sounds like every other MMO on the market. So much of the stuff they talk about (dungeon finder, achievements, etc) are just... sigh...

While it initially sounded good, the more I read, it just got worse and worse. I am absolutely disappointed in SE, they've gone and ruined what they were actually starting to fix and improve upon. I knew a new UI was coming, I knew a lot was coming... but all of this is just completely annoying and just... I'm just shocked that they actually did this.

Colossal disappointment... I don't even care that they're starting to charge money, I would've gladly kept paying right now... but after this, I just don't think so. :\

*log off*

Will you be paying subscription fees once it gets here? Hope not.

Edit: Oh. nvm question answered, didn't care to read the whole thing.
Can i have your stuff?
