What is FFXIV trying to BE?

[Shikyo]

gift the point I was making was those buzz words are not suppose to make semces to us so of course you wouldn't get it. Maybe you just do not understand ffxiv. In order to see what SE was trying to do just look at the story. IMO the story from my understanding is pretty clear.
Maybe your just over anilyzing the game a bit and just not seeing the bigger picture?
What SE wanted to make: A game that was less time consuming with alot more fredom then their first mmo. A new world we never seen, and new ways of inter acting with this world.

Pretty much all RPG are all the same you level up a character play through the story through questing and killing creatures in oder to save the world in some sort of fashion.
in ffxiv we all must do our parts as a community to get ready for the upcoming danger then do our parts to fight it.

Thats my understand on where SE coming from. They adding rp to the rpg that was slowly lost.

And by more freedom as in to make your own class rather then the cookie cutter builds.

the bad ratings were true in this case though most real gamers dont at all listen to reviews and bias ratings but i think the FF fans are pretty united in the fact that those poor ratings and reviews were not to far off. this game proves that new isnt always better not every new idea is a better one, sometimes if something is said to have never been seen/done/tried its for a good reason.
