Game is ruined (FFXIV 2.0)

[Resty]

Crevox, go google concept art and peruse the billion pics u'll find showing concept vs actual design.
Everything you saw was concept art, as in rough sketches, even the UI pic you saw was not an actual screenshot, it was a drawn (well) pic.
The wrote a book about you a long time ago, it stars Chicken Little.

Not one specific issue he had was noted.
Not one recommendation on what would be better.
Whine.
Nerd rage quit.

Please see my sig below.... I, for one, am very excited to see these changes come. after seeing what they have done from launch to date, my inital doubts about SE being able to make the changes they needed to, have vanished. i only wish i could offer my services as a voice actor for the voice content.

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*

I gotta disagree with you man. I played WoW, and FFXIV 2.0 doesn't look like it, at least to me. People tend to attribute all sorts of things to WoW, but most of the time they've been borrowed from other games.
And if FFXIV were borrowing gameplay elements from WoW, why is that so bad, assuming that these are things Blizz did well?

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.

explain how this

Good riddance to you, i wish more dinosaurs like you would quit. Maybe go play this game my grandpa played called everquest.

It's quite obvious that the main reason he's so hurt about it is because he wanted to play summoner in FFXIV in future and the chances of that are even slimmer now. Honestly, that's a pretty bad reason to trash on something that the vast majority are excited for.

While it's only a concept, it is intended to give us an idea of what they are aiming for.

This dude doesn't want to play a prettier version of WoW with FF skins. Why is that so hard to understand?
