I think the reason why everyone is freaking out is...

Yes. If your PC is not at a ps3's level then you may need a new PC. New engine will have more settings so you can make it run on lower end PC's so you don't need to worry. If you can run it now you will be fine then.

For clarrification. When this game first came out I bought an off the shelf Gateway FX6820. Its specs did not quite match the stated requirements but I have had no problems playing the game since launch. All I was saying is that the information tyhat SE has provided that SE provided implies that there should be no need to upgrade your current hardware to accomidate the new engine and the PC somewhat below this can be used.

Short answer: No. No-one ever said @1.20 would be 100%

Did you even read my post? Whatever man... I'm staying away from these forums... too many fools, not enough Reinheart.

Have fun in the Abyss /wave

Edit:

Also, I did read your Post, You wanted a source. I gave you that source " yes its mixed in with my personal opinion" However all those basic Functions ARE what make 50% of the game.. and thats what most people COMPLAINED about, was the basic features.. People were spoiled for a year so they only want to be spoiled more.

Sorry the cake just came out of the oven bad for you, but you need to realize this isn't a F2P game, it never was nor it ever will be.

The time is now for you to decide weather or not you pay for the game or not on your own " Personal Standards of what a 100% complete MMO" is, because I tell you right now no MMO is 100% even after 10 years its still not 100% complete. ( MMO= Personal Standards of what a "Complete game" feels like)

In the abyss, huh? No, I'll be playing the game.
F2P? I will be one of the ones who WILL be paying. No matter what.

inb4: Fanboy. -> I loved FFXI, and I can see the steps the team are taking to make XIV rival XI, and XIV2.0 is going to rock.

Peace out Forums.

Hey Fore, what's up?!

I think Starlord just doesn't know what the word "source" means.

What we're looking for here is a reference, that backs up your interpretations of this near 100% for 1.20 deal.

Like, in which PDF? Which page, or is it one of the letters? If so, which paragraph, what quote?

I think ya'll are missing the point :P But, I'm done repeating myself a billion times to get Ultimately Nowhere.

Like I said: Its either you pay or you don't pay= Simple nothing else needs to be said ( I'm done beating a dead horse)

I'm going to be paying/playing as well.

That's still not validating your point if you're speculating your arguments and presenting them as facts.

From the BG interview

Sonomaa (BG): Why are you deciding to charge now, when the game is only 50% to where you wanted it to be at launch? It seems awkward that we're going to be paying a subscription fee for a product that is only half complete and going to be completely new at a year's time.

Square-Enix: To clear a little up - the payment system will not be starting now, we just announced it now. We are planning on starting the payment system sometime in December, after patch 1.2. In 1.20, some of the major changes we will be making includes a more advanced player search and to get a market system as close to the Final Fantasy XI auction house as possible. This would be where you could search for an item, and then buy that item, or see the past 20 auctions. This will be before we start asking for payments.

The 50% number, during the Live Producer letter, came from where they were at before the release of 1.19. Once 1.2 is released, that will be even closer to the final vision of the current game. We want players to try 1.2 and see that our game is officially worth paying for, which is when the customers can decide if they want to pay for it or not.

And then from 1.2 to 2.0 we will continue to release content that you can only play at this time - realtime updates with realtime story that you can only experience NOW. If a player plays through 1.2 and decides if the game is not there yet, they can choose not to play or do the billing system. But we ask them to keep coming back to check what we're adding in 1.21 or 1.22 because there will be a lot of content that they will not be able to experience in any other MMO. We hope that by offering different things that they will come back.

That's still not validating your point if you're speculating your arguments and presenting them as facts.

I never said they were facts I took Yoshi-p's Statement ( which is true 50% pre 1.19)= Fact
1.19 and 1.20= 40% ( my Opinion not fact)= Personal Opinion
Game= 90% Opinion

I never once said my Calculations were fact, not once.

Secondly, as I said before MMO= Personal Opinion on how a Game is Complete or not. It doesn't even matter if Yoshi-p Said its 100% or not. because there will be people who will feel the game isn't 100% and those that do.

It's all a Matter of an Opinion how how a MMO is Complete.

Also, A Console game that gets release. It Cannot be changed nor Altered. So therefore by right its a complete game right? But there are some people are going to say the game is crap. Therefore to them it's not a complete game ( to them).

I based my 90% solely on my Opinion and my Opinion alone, those that agree fine have a ball. but for those that don't Just respect my opinion as I respect yours.

Thank You

Edit:

Also The Basics of any system is half the battle aka 50%

and this sentence is fact also:

The new server system is already up and running on internal development equipment, and we are in the process of finalizing general
search features, the party system, the friend system, and more. At the current pace, we hope to have all basic system features
completed by February 2012.

By 1.21 all the Basic Systems Features will be Complete aka 14th page of the PDF Notes Feb 2012 being 1.21

The other 50% is Content and that content is Always Opinionated ( which I base my opinion off of)

to me and in my opinion :

1.21= FFXIV 100% (Opinion)

1.20= Launching Conditions ( Opinion)
