What's your first impression of Eureka?

[Divinemights]

I tried to follow the train but people had mounts so couldn't keep up and people didn't res me, so I'm not sure what you think I should do in that situation.

Use /shout and ask for a raise politely with your position.
There will be people come to raise you.
If you already received a raise, please make sure you announce it with a shout, otherwise, there is a consequence of people not going to take you seriously.
Also, if you died in a train, there is always someone in the train will raise you when they walk by.

You need to all be the same level or maybe a difference of 1 level in the party to this to be effective. It is near impossible to do this without a level sync feature for a party. And thus, the train IS the best way to go 1-20, hands down.

Anyone saying its not is in denial.

Will you get killed as you travel? yes. Will you get rezzed immediately? yes. Will you get XP on the spawn mobs? not likely. Will you get thousands of XP for the fate? yes, even the higher level ones IF YOUR PARTY HAS HIGH LEVEL PEOPLE IN IT.

This is also a good post.The lvl range mechanic is fine by me as I've known this system from way back years ago & so i dont mind it, the issue is that it doesn't slide too well with xiv because first of all, i think a lot of players started to play ff14 as it was not a game like that,,, & as to where it was working like that on xi & 11 players were completely fine with it, there was also no other way of xping versus that option of train wreckage in here which i despise with passion.Lag is not fun, I would rather camp a dragon with 300players in a tiny room waiting for a time spawn or camp a house in a ward with competition on the spot than to run fate to fate.Level Sync did help some players to enjoy regular xping on xi while abyssea got added & some players actually didn't enjoy the xp chests (I liked/like Abyssea) but again as Marluxia said "Variety is the spice of life" & so when someone did not enjoy looking for members of their exact lvl or 1 higher/above they had sync option, or fcleave...

beaucoup* et je n'en n'ai rien a cirer de la ponctuation.Again Eureka is bad & i stated why i thought so just like many others. No i do not think the duplicated systems were fun before,& no i do not think they are fun now.

Not everyone will ignore it. Some read through bad punctuation/grammar and understand it(usually when it's someone whose first language is not English...though there are people who dismiss their opinions right away sadly)

Prego signore. Eureka just needs a bit of that spice.

hehe gj!I never knew how to communicate & i apparently never will going by your standards.That ppl ignore me or not is a choice,as i stated before, I'm just pointing out facts,i am not here to do proper grammar.

Seriously tho, why did you correct this?: je n'en n'ai rien a cirer de la ponctuation???? I speak french fluidly everyday, I'm not from france I'm Canadian i speak sort of a slang french, you could vulgarise this as comparing amerian English to british English, No i did not mean to type it as you did. beucoup was an obvious letter missing typo on a single word,I phrased my sentence like i did on purpose.If you want i can make it even better (j'n'ai rien à cirer d'la)Learn to use apostrophes.

Thank you.

I just want to know what happened with this... (quoted from an interview with Yoshi P)

The idea behind Eureka is to give players the opportunity to experience content that has a completely different set of battle rules from field or instanced content.

[Osteichthyes]

My biggest issue with Eureka is that I simply do not have enough time to play to actually be able to progress. Leveling is just way too slow for my meager playtime, and then I have to think, should I level a new job, level my crafts, do trials roulette, try and do savage, etc. There is too much that I would like to do in the game for me to be able to justify sinking my limited time into something that feels this inefficient. Something about need 5k xp and getting 45 per kill with 3 other people just doesn't sit right, especially when that's level 3.

Hyping the Magia Board and hyping that adding a lots of NMs in an time instanced map which NA/EU decided to just make it a pain train fest a la hunts was a "new thing". while remaining ambiguous enough to keep the hype train.

Not being negative. But extreme sugarcoating is not that hard to notice.

Anyway,,,moving on heres an anectode.Someone(a friend) once told me that ffxiv had better graphics than ffxv.I do not personally think so (but apparently someone did) & while i have never played xv myself i have seen it & i think it looks better BUT I do not play for graphics like not at all whatsoever & I am not speaking about this to start a debate upon graphics being better on one game versus the other.That said, i am trying to give an example of how far we are from final fantasy 7 & under(even tho 8 was my favorite) i did not like what happened afterward, I personally havnt played much of ff9 , there was some good aspects to it, ozma was nice, chocobo hot & cold but like to get Excalibur II you have to redo the whole game again in a specific time record?No thx.In ff8 only little iffy things were like dont miss out on a card on triple triad or you are screwed to convert! OR the time record test/exam (AT THE START OF THE GAME) that would affect your salary throughtout the whole game afterward, FFX was good but i never wished for a version two of that (GamePlus multiple different paths/branchs of storyline)or even a remake just like ffvii is about to be...All i am saying here is that look at where we are,this has become the extreme opposite of what final fantasy was,all for the sake of graphics (from xv game reviews & players commentary iirc its a huge map & there is barely anything to do even with additions later on)I am hoping to try it one day & that the comments i read upon it are false.Even tho i stated i would rather just not have FF on consoles anymore in a previous post to prevent bs restrictons/limitations,therefore even more so for an mmo final fantasy.

P.s: If you still do not get the idea,please refer to Marluxia post on page.153 or that:

Ah, the ol' Final Fantasy 13 defense. "After about 5 hours it gets good!"

Put your hand on a hot stove for 5 hours and you'll probably stop feeling the pain, but by then you'll have done serious damage to yourself.

Unless we're talking about mere minutes, "It gets better at <x>" is not a particularly strong defense because, well, why can't it be good right now?

I doubt you'd cover a third of your steak in motor oil and claim "After you eat the motor oil the steak tastes good."
