If they started charging right this second, id put it down until 2.0 without even thinking about it, its just not good enough "yet" to pay for it. By 2.0 i think with lots of the major issues (crappy world, terrible server coding issues, smooth UI, lots of new and possible content and features that can only be done in 2.0....ect) il be glad to pay, but until i see those things done, im not going to bother. So don't tell me what i do and don't do.

@Oni....you cant compare this to buying a bad normal game, because heres the kicker....its subscription based MMO! They ony do as good as the amount of players who are consatntly paying for the game. Do i think what they showed will be good? sure...can i see it right now and have 100% proof it works...nope? Do you buy broken bad games purely based on the devs saying "we will patch it and make it better"...i sure don't nor does most of the people who buy games.

There is a reason the game is like it is now, having a small community (which will drop off a good bit until next year) and it has all the horrible press it does.
They haven't been charging any subscription for the game since it released(they will next month and Yoshi-P says that by then we will have feature worth paying for, I'm not too convienced but ya..) and they are not patching the game , but remaking it. This is very ballsy of them, because other mmos who failed, just patched up the holes here and there to make an acceptable product. SE could have done the same and just continue the patching process that has been going since launch.

The game would have improved but there certain things that cannot be be "fixed". That's why they went the remake route and decided to sink another few mills into the game. It is in their interest but i thank them for that because i was waiting for SE's new FF MMO for a while now and FFXIV was a huge disappointment. With our suggestions and continous feedback maybe they will deliver the game we were all hoping for.
