What did FF14 have right, at launch?

[Tricksy]

I guess I was not clear in my OP.

I don't give a rats behind how messed up something was at launch. Im asking what concepts ar features they had that you were a fan of, regardless of the issues that plagued them.

You expect a whole forum of negative people to not be negative?

Negativity is part of life. I was just hoping people would think about FF14 when it was new and remember how some of it was actually fresh and exciting. I think it was my fault for not saying that the features could be imperfect.

Sorry, this forum's negativity is an understatement and anyone who makes a thread here, or most internet forums in general, will have to understand that negativity will always rear it's head. Even fan art threads here some how lead into a debate about the game's concepts.

Its hard to think about the positive aspects of the original FFXIV when I get a headache thinking about all the bad things that were plagued around it. Game was so horrific and nearly unplayable that people can't help but bring up the bad points of those "neat features".

In short. You attempted to make a positive thread in a negative forums based on a subject that inevitably leads to more negativity, the original FFXIV.

even with the total bullshit we've been through, we're still the tamest mmo community out there.

I concur. Will our community change come 2.0 for the worse? Has anyone seen changes in the community already while playing it?

we'll be like those old people that always told the young ones how hard their life was.

most likely it's going to be a constant war with people who are new to the game and those whose been through the BS.

I think the poor state of the game has actually tightened the remaining community. The enjoyment I manage to squeeze out of the current version is all due to the friends I've made; the social interaction is the main thing keeping me playing (other than anticipating 2.0, obviously ).

The official forums are also not at all representative of the actual in-game community, as far as I've seen anyway. People are generally much more competent and friendly than the posts here would make it seem.

Uh, the gear and enemies are by far some of the best looking that I've seen.

.....that's about it.
