Why does game development have to be either eastern or western? Why can't we have a hybrid that takes the best of both?

If seen this argument nearly every time XIV gets something non-XI planned. "We're getting <new feature>?! Ah hell the game is lost to the west everyone drop your subs."

It isn't that it can't be... you know, because that's what the game is now.
There's a mix of eastern and western MMO concepts being added all the time too. What you're looking for is essentially what XIV is and always will be. However, we have to look at the game we had initially and realize it was lacking pretty much any feature you'd expect from a western MMO and in trying to balance it they are adding more of these western MMO features for the time being but looking at the roadmap to 2.0 I am thinking they'll have struck a pretty good balance. Too bad that's more than a year away!

Did you see the ui? they even changing the action to square why not keep it how it is? what wrong with it?

I don't like western layout of gaming wow,aion,rift all follow this rule level by quest or dungeon and you do raids and PVP. while in ffxi sure BCNM,SKY,SEA where all dungeon it was something different it had it own feel with a storyline with it.

Yoshi-p said he be making more diff stuff but it wont be called raids/dungeon but i guess he change his mind lol. I just hope it does not become 100% western then i be fine with the game.

They changed it because it looks nicer the new way, it's as simple as that. You can't honestly tell me the new UI does not look like an improvement. Also, I wouldn't say it's exactly a western design as it looks more like FFXIII than any MMO I've seen.

You shouldn't get so stuck on what types of improvements are being made and in what manner but rather that improvements are being made. If something is made better what difference does it matter if what we have now is functional or where the influence for the change came from... it's been improved, just be glad about that.

Very true i can care less about the UI seeing how we can change that ourself my issue with the new would the look of the game change from how it is too more western? becuase if that happen then that be a downgrade in the look of the game look wise. It been killing me i want to know if the new engine would kill the realism and change the art work to more like tera,aion,rift but just little better if it does then i think it would kill the game for me. ; ; that dam art work is killing me i know it's a art work but it seem like it going to look like that ;;

lol this topic is now something else lol.
