We can't

Ever considered that all the features being asked for would require an overhaul of the existing engine (or, God forbid, a new engine) to support these features? The number of bugs this could cause if not handled meticulously and carefully would far outweigh any benefits the minority population asking for these features at the moment give.

Nevermind the cost and manpower this would require when the budget sheet likely shows new content would - per man hour - likely be a better return on investment.

Either you're going to get these in a new FF MMO (FF18? :P), or have to find an MMO that supports these features.

Or you might get them in FFXIV, just... not on _your_ timetable.

35m budget can't overhaul a system for a few extra faces? You're joking right?

Was never proven and a large chunk of that likely went towards the NA datacenter relocation anyway.

You mean like everyone who was crippled on the west coast when the servers were on the east? Oh wait...

I wish i had exaggeration skills like some forum goers here. Crippled. thats the overstatement of the year. Minor inconvenience more like.

Yes, like me. I live an hour from Sac, and had no right to be raiding. Between the constant disconnects and being a full GCD behind everyone else. Post-relocation, I can double-weave and play my NIN with zero issues. Meanwhile, the NIN mains in my guild have resorted to using tunneling services.

Feel free to continue arguing though, it's fun to read.

I live in Maine and my ping barely changed at all. YMMV I suppose.

$35m budget is an old gamefaqs hoax. The troll in the same message also said there will be Viera race in Stormblood, but only $35m part survived and keeps spreading as I see.
