Game changed to FFXI style?

[Akumu]

yes it is the only way to save the game. majority of lost subs were expecting a ffxi-2 with the new world, graphics, and monsters to fight.

players instead got a whole new system and the game failed. common sense will tell you they will go back to what has worked in the past. this game cost 10's of millions of dollars to make. they will not gamble for a second time.

Majority wasn't expecting a FFXI-2...If anybody read the interviews than you should have gained an image much larger and better than FFXI. Majority wanted AT LEAST something to do rather than what we have now. This game won't survive off of grinding mobs all day long in a "camp" just to level. The world hated FFXI after WoW so a copy/paste upgrade would not have kept that many people. Plus why would any vet want 9 more years of the same thing?


edit: Based off of the thread you made it was obvious I was far from alone on that matter. Failing to salvage the goods from FFXI with a completely new slate is what most vets are confused about.
The only thing I see that they enhanced from FFXI is the Armory System. From what Yoshi-P stated its safe to assume its going to be the Job/subjob system v2.0. Which will be much better.
