Should FF14 take a new route? Discussion

[RiyahArp]

I think the problem is that they are using this game to beta test systems for the future. Like the big thing about eureka is that we now have a true cross-server persistant zone, albeit one that has a 3 hour time limit. One that you can invite parties or not, which is a huge step up technically from the current instances. You can even tell people in them. Same with the companions. Testing friendly AI through them.

If they finally realize these systems in this game, it might fix a lot of the problems we have with it. But its still testing it feels like; the features are released, but dont go beyond shallow uses of them into gameplay.

I also think staff might be diverted into their next MMO some; it's about time they start development on it, and it might be draining people from the core project.
