YoshiP seems to confuse difficulty with tediousness

[Ilean]

Again, this doesn't describe any other MMORPG out on the market today or been released the past 10 years. None at all.

Jesus, I heard you the first time, I just ignored you because you bore me.

In case you haven't noticed you are saying it's perfectly ok for this game to be boring, because other MMOs are.



You are even sadder, they have broken you into believing that any RPG that is played online by a massive (lol we don't have enough players to be massive) amount of players must be dull and repetitive.


Edit:

How does it work? Do you guys ever were gamers or they kicked the gamer out of you one fetch quest at a time?

I grew up playing hard as hell games on my Atari > NES > SNES (and we stop there because I'm only covering my childhood) and I perfectly remember that no matter how many times we booted up contra or jackal or whatever it was still fun to play thru them.

Maybe it's my mistake and I just need to learn that MMORPG players are not gamers.

[Lumidus]

Yea. maybe this game isn't for you...

[Elexia]

Jesus, I heard you the first time, I just ignored you because you bore me.

Yet you insist it's just SE that's like this instead of saying "MMO developers" you continually make it out to be SE is alone in this lol.

I grew up in the 70s and 80s as well, this is exactly why indie developers are thriving in this day and age, they know and remember these days, new age gamers don't really want games like this, they want games that has shiny graphics above anything. So I'm not saying its ok for SE to make a boring game, I'm saying to face facts this is how it's going to be because of the whole push for "casual" gameplay. Anything that stands out just plains get shat on in favor of main stream crap.

That "niche" you make fun of? That's what Contra was, it was for the hardcore gamers because just any gamer couldn't pick it up and blast through it masterfully.

Let's also not forget that the storylines found in this game are always incredibly intricate and interesting... even if the mobs you fight are not. Each 'important' quest (main quests, class quests, job quests, etc) come together to form another piece of the puzzle that is Eorzea. I was (and am) incredibly entertained by the storylines, and this is why I prefer Final Fantasy MMO's above all others... the storylines are amazing. Sure, finding and fighting a random world NM might be boring and tedious (and, as others pointed out, something that exists in ALL MMO's), but the overall storyline is something interesting and worth looking forward to.

I just love how this clown starts off by saying this.......

I just think SE should show some respect

Then make a disrespectfull prejudice comment like this

O N R Y !

[Ryuko]

Coglin, I like you. Let's be friends.

On a more relevant note: Ilean, I think people would take you more seriously if you weren't so unnecessarily rude in your statements. Stuff like "Jesus, I heard you the first time, I just ignored you because you bore me," isn't exactly friendly-talk.

Well we were around 10 years old and we could finish it without the konami code, if that didn't mean it was accessible enough for any gamer I don't know what.


Also you need to stop deluding yourself into believing your success in this game is based on eye-hand coordination skill, or strategy. MMORPG hardcoreness, unlike in real gaming, is nothing but sinking as many hours of your life doing menial boring stuff and associating with others who do the same. And that's not bad, but it doesn't/shouldn't/mustn't have to stay that way just because that's how the genre was born.

True, I should have left that out. In my defense, I wasn't trying to be rude, I was genuinely disinterested, did you read what he posted the 1st time? Very kindergarten.

Then make a disrespectfull prejudice comment like this

Oh please, that's a classic online FF joke. I'll add "Not politically correct" to my signature later so you can sleep well.

I could care less about political correctness. I was pointing out your self contradiction.

I do so enjoy how you attept to justify it though. It is what it is. Just because a thousand other clowns say it doesn't make it less of a prejudice against folks. It doesn't hurt my feeeling in the least. I have to admitt though, I love the intelligence behind the whole "Jumping of a bridge is okay cause everyone else does it" defence.

[Gramul]

You're moving away from the main point.
