A similar MMO undergoing a "FFXIV" phase?

[Felis]

how did they make it SO different? seriously? Hume,galka,mithra,taru,elf,chocbos,airships,magically teleporting from anywhere you want, only thing this game is different is they made the exp gain much easier besides that it is a copy.

You didn't played since release? Random exp where you only get exp with some luck if you use a skill is not easy exp gain (if you wasn't a mage). Tanaka tried to make FF XIV very different from FF XI and failed because he ignored the basics, too. Because of this we have now Yoshida.

b2p = broken 2 players?

Buy to play, like every other game in a game store.

They should just name 2.0 "Final Fantasy XIV : Pheonix Rising"

I'm not sure if people would appreciate the typo.

No, I'd say his description is far more accurate.

Or boring2play then? Well you can make a lot of trolls with that acronym it seems :]

This is exactly why Indie games are doing better and getting more popular to the point commercial developers are turning to them, it targets a niche market and ends up getting insanely popular to the point it does better than most commercial games in recent years.

So sorry to break it to you, but players only ruin games by asking for terrible suggestions, i.e making the game so easy and fruitless to play that people will be bored within hours, this is why Tera isn't out in NA/EU yet, because they know it will tank very hard in it's current state and it's not targeting a niche market.

go play indie ty cya bye, i guess this game must be hard to a nub like you lol

>Hard

Pick one.

Earthrise and Masthead Studio? It's just a PR stunt, they are trying to regain some of that player base trust for Fallout MMO with Interplay. Isn't it obvious, Earthrise is alpha build for FO MMO, testing the engine and stuff while making the players pay for their development. Last I heard many devs were already moved to FO MMO project.

I agree, the game is "hard to play" since in your own words, it's broken. So which is it? Broken or hard?

[irongripz]

So the game is apparently too hard, but broken and easy. No wonder XIV did poorly at launch.

where did i say the game was hard? niche market scrubs and a man that made a game for them is reason the game failed at launch.

The larger MMO market doesn't care about this game at all.

For now, it doesn't and it shouldn't either (it's not the market's place to care about failures at all, only successes). But the reality is, if XIV-2.0 is successful in reviving a "dead" MMORPG, it'll wash away the old stigma that once an MMORPG fails that it's the end of said game. That will undoubtedly bring competition back since as it stands right now at this very moment that anyone entering the MMORPG market is suicidal.
