Fighting Desperately...

Wait till 2.0 (tm). Preaze be patient (tm). Preaze look forward to it (tm).

If I were a dev and knew the game was going to be completely redone, I'd put in whatever repetitive bullshit I could into the game to keep the current playerbase playing until the new game came out. Oh wait...

Compare the game in 2.0 to FFXI when it comes out. We all know it sucks as is now. Also play said games content so you don't look like a moron that bases everything on assumptions.

Ever feel like 2.0 is a carrot being dangled from a fishing line in front of your donkey face? Two words: "HEE HAW!!!" You guys wait for it. I've got better things to do than waste my time hoping and dreaming only to face a 50/50 chance of completely wasting my time for what might very turn out to be mediocre at best.

2.0 was never a carrot on a stick....ppl are just stupid. It was clearly stated they are remaking the game so that it is closer to the vision Yoshida had for it. More or less its a different game, this is just scrapped junk we get to play so our time and efforts weren't totally wasted. Also, they get funding to help cut down on their losses. The only connection 2.0 has to this game is some concepts, battle mechanics, and lore/story to a *degree*. As such ppl just need to treat it as a different game, and not a patch (which is what ppl are treating it as right now, a big patch).

They said pay or don't, the benefit of paying is that all your work will get transferred over to the new game, and there will be a connecting story so that ppl who *care* about story and lore are not alienated and left trying to explain why their character is suddenly in a new game. Its nothing like a carrot on a stick, you are just waiting for the release of a new game, which is exactly what 2.0 is, a new game...not a patch.

This is the best explanation of the 2.0 that I've seen, well said. *claps*

Yep. It's just that bad. Kind of like a negative appreciation post. Think of it as that monster turd you just dropped and can't help but tell all your friends about. Except in this case, it is a little different; All your friends were in the toilet with you...

Fine, fine points you have there.

It's not like SE wasn't upfront about it.

They need a new game engine and server structure to make the game they want to. Till then they're giving us what they can despite the fact they're going to delete most of it while developing a whole new game in tandem.

You're right, SE is making a gamble and taking some risks. But 2.0 is sink or swim so they've really got to impress people if they're going to turn this game around.

It's not like they could deny it either.
