FFXIV 2.0 impression

[Riaayo]

If this game feels and plays in 2.0 like it does now SE will not see a cent of my money afterwards. There's no excuse for how bad this game feels to interact with... no other game feels this sluggish and bad.

I love my character and I love my group I play with, but very sadly that can only take me so far... especially when costs money to stay aboard.

How would you feel if they show XIV 2.0 at E3, trailer + playable demo and all. Then what you see is the exact same game we have now, plays the same, feels the same.... but with new redesigned areas, new features, new spells+spell animations and dungeons+raid. But the gameplay itself feels 100% the same and would look only like you stumbled into a new area but not a new redesigned game. The game would also have no more lag.

Would that be enough to please you or would that be a huge disappointment?

What are you expecting 2.0 to be? Just a an improved, patched up XIV or a completely different experience?

Well, to put it bluntly, of they showed the game now at e3 would ok. The game is miles ahead of the released phase 1 1/2 years ago. So, in other words, 2.0 would be for me a bonus. The more the merrier. This last patch with the jobs and story wise was great. I just wished they would add more story content that you could do not only with a group but solo. Why I say that, because its hard to enjoy the story content wise when you have to skip the cs because of time based dungeon and your party is already half way into the fight while you watch the story. The inns helped remedy that, but on the go story is what makes you enjoy a rpg-MMO, IMO and not replay the scenes after. Back to the question put by the OP, the game is getting better day after day. Can't wait to have all the features put in place with 2.0 which couldn't ATM because the engine won't allow/too hard to implement.

As far as what's outlined and announced, a lot of the core changes, and new content will migrate right over to 2.0

I really don't think the gameplay / battle system is going to change much at all beyond just adjustments and updates like we've been seeing.

3 Things. Living, breathing areas, PROPER FUCKING GAME ENGINE and Greatsword DD Class/Job. That's all and I'll be in bliss^^

I'd also like animation lock removed.

If they remove animation lock this game will look awful.

2.0 has a new story from what i understood. Wtv we do now and the story we are experiencing now will be gone in 2.0. It will either pick up after the current events or something new.

Yoshi-p said the main story will remain and it will pick up after the lvl 46 Mor dhona cutscene.

Over exaggerate much ??!

Gameplay > Graphics/Animation anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot.

Were idiots for having an opinion just like you? Guess that makes you an idiot too...

and for me Gameplay = Graphics/Animation I would like a happy medium.

This game has improved leaps and bounds over what it was. Aside from a little lag and anticipation of new features not yet implemented, I'm very happy with the current state of the game. There are minor (gameplay) changes that we can expect, UI differences, new content, better servers, and a new client that runs smoother and on more machines that the current version, but the basic framework is in place now. Anyone holding out for a drastically different game from what we have right now should probably just move on already.

I don't care what anyone says, you buy a game first because you like the way it looks. The gameplay just decides whether you keep said purchase. No one buys games for gameplay. If they say they are they are lying, because you dont know what the gameplay is until you play it yourself. You know what the graphics are by looking at screenshots and box covers.

And I can count on one hand the # of ppl who would buy and play a game with crappy graphics. They'd play old ones, but not new ones. If FFXIV 2.0 came out looking like shit you wouldnt even buy it.
