What is FFXIV trying to BE?

Gifthorse, I think you're trippin a little. I see you lost faith and are now asking if there's a purpose to any of it. WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN??????? But really you don't need a purpose for something to be great. If the artists are good enough they will create and improvise. I just read that one of my favorite guitarists, Phil Keaggy, originally wanted to be a drummer but his family couldn't afford a drumset so they got him a guitar. He didn't start out with a burning desire to play guitar. So I say, sit back, enjoy the ride, and if you can't enjoy it, maybe we can give you some RL advice to have fun in the meantime!

Hmm, thanks for your autobiography.

"reboot, and rebuild" Hasn't happened yet. I don't see anything on the planned column that suggests that it's even coming. Nice hyperbole nothing to back it up.

Story-telling was supposed to be a big selling point off FFXIV, and yet this is an MMO, not a single player RPG, so story-telling needs to happen in a setting where multiple people can experience it. In FFXIV, however, my whole experience with the single-player storyline was by myself. Why make an MMO with so much emphasis on social-interaction if you're just going to build the entire storyline around people playing solo? Contradiction much?

its funny because guild wars 1 already solved this problem

So I clicked on this thread and I suddenly realized something useful. I had completely forgotten to b-list Gifthorse!

Remedied.

(It's pretty much the only thing this thread is good for.)

Wow problem solved, now FFXIV can remain directionless forever!
