The Journey - Is It Still Wanted?

[Elexia]

I think a lot of people look back at their levelling experiences in FFXI with huge nostalgia bifocals. FFXI's grind was tedious and obnoxious back in the day. But, I do agree that there is a journey to be made from level 1 to level cap. Yoshida's thought process of bringing friends into the game and zerging them to the cap is disheartening.

Yes yes we're all looking in 'nostalgia bifocals' because people actually like steady progression instead of rushing to the top and have everything handed to you the second you get there (Modern MMOs.)

After playing Skyrim for a few days I can only say. My god I'm so tired of games starting at max lvl. I want to do cool things from the start and don't think about: oh I need to get that lvl x to do that cool thing. But I have a feeling I won't find such design philosophy in v 2.0.

Skyrim did get pretty boring quick honestly, it's a nice game..but honestly..

I'd love for you to point out where I suggested I am against "steady progression instead of rushing to top and having everything handed to you the second you get there."

You generally say people are looking with 'nostalgia glasses/etc' when they can't see something better ahead of them and are resistant to change ;p

I'd love for you to point out where I even stated you said you were against it, especially since you said you don't agree with yoshida's thought on basically skipping the journey.

I bring up point A, you counter it with point B, I bring up point C and you're back at point B.

Have fun.
