2.0 is promising too much!!

[Answa]

2.0 can't talk. It can much less promise anything.

[Hycinthus]

The promise of 2.0 is like the promise of Miracle Patch all over again. Not everything will be fixed all at once. But I have expectations. I expect UI to be fully redesigned, and the UI being smart, easy to use, no lag, and intuitive I also expect the terrains to have been redesigned. If they fulfill just these 2 completely, then I don't mind waiting for the other contents to come.

[ArkNova]

New engine, new UI, and new maps is all I'm expecting anything beyond that would be nice.

[Colino]

That really really "Awesome stuff" might look good in the CONCEPT ART (Art makes anything pretty badass to look forward to) I'd rather see it in action

True, but hopefully some legitimate previews will be posted during E3.

[Gukie]

Well they promised all these things last year; but they don't realized it is now the future of last year.
We advance in technology, they better give us something better then they promised.
It's like a car dude!! you don't stick with 2011 cars!!! you go for the 2012 car!!!. (they did promises that in 2011)

Besides at first I was excited.. then they made us pay to play... meh went down of excitement, then some spam able update came out... I was a little worried, my excitement went down, they came out with more spam able grinding update, my excitement went down even further. Not only it is spam able... It's accessible to everyone anytime every time. So there's really no sense of achievement... not like the FAKEBOOK achievement makes this game any funner... I asked for achievement they gave me Facebook achievement content WT BOMB se.. I don't want some none sense achievement... not only that it's GRINDING achievement wt Bomb again...

At that point i was like ok... this game's going down hill... so they came out with Garuda!! damn excited until I realized this is the same pattern. not that i haven't realized that after Ifrit. Then hamlet came out... not interested at all about it; then they mentioned AF coming out of that... made me feel worst about the promises.

But really hamlet is now a three city spamming fest.... omg really se?? you could not have made us do a quest where we had to go find a rare Notorious Monster or fight a notorious monster that is rare spawn!!??

se you've become WOW -1.0 like literally I though wow failed big time IN mmo history-

I agree they successfully bread a new World of MMO
(they reformed the description of an mmo) I give them credit for that
by removing grinding and adventuring ---- By adding quest grinding and none adventuring (speed to max and dungeon spam)
It is totally OK, not a bad game for players who only cares about pvp and fighting dungeon boss.
I will say i'am not a fan of that.
I love pvp I love dungeons- I also love ranking up and adventuring- I do disagree with Single party dungeons.
I will repeat again and again. I don't play mmo to make the WORLD a CHAT room- and the Dungeons the actual game itself.
As of now ----- the whole reason to play this game is to rank up to 50 and spam spam spam all the primal fight and do dungeon.... Hence the world is a BIG chatroom.... no exploration what so ever-- no reason too since you just wana be 50 to hmmm spam every fights until you pull your brain out of this game and stop playing for couple days hoping things would change on the next update....

Sorry This is Totally -------------- FRUSTRATING----------------
not only that it's easy mode battles with easy and lazy mode Safe spots...

I DO HOPE that the promises isn't anything similar to what we have now.
Even if they gave us 1000 Bosses at 2.0?? the same way these bosses are ran... I would SOOO quit at 2.0

What do you expect them to come out with for now they can't offer high drop rates or all content will be finished in 2 weeks and everyone would be bored till the next patch, they have most of their devs working on 2.0 so its lives up to the expectations, 1.xx must suffer because of that and this is what we end up with, come 2.0 all their staff will work on it so we will get better content faster.

[...] Also that 3 years is what it made to build the vanila FFXIV with all its flaws [...]

I believe it was at least twice that much time, probably more. It was widely known that SE was working on project Rapture as far back as early 2006. The first nameless Technical Demo Video, with a city eerily reminiscent of all three current ones, Gridania (the stained glass), Uldah (the architectural shapes), and Limsa (the multi-leveled cat-walk-over-harbor plan), was presented in May, 2005 at E3. (I also hope the dragons hovering over the lake are a promise of things to come, once Ishgard becomes accessible.)

So, from first video to launch, it took almost 7 years.

Taking into account that this sort of a project usually has a bit over a year under its wings when it's first aired, some experts have calculated 8 years, by mid-2012 (wish I could find the quotation for the latter. Apologies about that).

I doubt it, once 2.0 launches the full developement team (250+ strong) will be working on 2.0 content alone, so they should be able to push out some sizeable content quickly

You enforce my own statement. It not like we are gonna get content just flowing out like we are not.
the majority of use have been around since XI. more then likly after 2.0 we won't see any real extra content
till an exspantion pack is released. SE still needs to make money on this game and Putting 250+ strong on
a project need to bring addional funds

[Alhanelem]

I have been reading the forums since 2.0 was announced and it seems 2.0 is a magic word the promises everything!!

Now this can't be true (but i hope it is)!!!

Is this realy going to bring all the content we want, races, classes etc??

now that there is this magic 2.0 word i feel its going to be a massive let down! in other words it will be exactly like launch.

Whats your thoughts?

Just in case you're not clear, they're not promising everything to happen all at once the instant 2.0 comes out. Everything is "after 2.0" not "AT 2.0." Not absolutely every little thing that they said will be coming in 2.0 will immediately be available at its launch. Nobody should be expecting that, because that's not what they have been saying.

For instance, are we going to have PvP @1? I doubt it, it will probably be introduced later.

What you SHOULD be expecting at launch is the redesigned areas, new UI, and many of the more technical fixes.

[Xaimera]

New engine, new UI, and new maps is all I'm expecting anything beyond that would be nice.

same here! ^^ those are what I really can't wait for. Stuff like new servers and better graphics that are toned down too so my PC dont explode, those are the things that will make 2.0 great!
