State of FFXIV as of 4-9-2011

@ OP,

I paid $50 to play a game that will soon reach a PS3 community from a developer that has made wonderful games in the past. Not only is there a temporary removal of subscription fee at the moment, but I get to play part into how the game turns out by posting on these forums. It may suck now, but there is a communication between developer and community with FFXIV that other MMO companies do not and will not provide to their customers.

I have expectations and I'd like to see the ideas I've seen taken into consideration. Should everything work out and Square Enix provides us with a game that a majority of the community desires, I will be incredibly pleased.

I'm enjoying every bit of FFXIV. Go ahead and "jump ship" now. I won't follow you overboard.

I got the CE edition, man di i feel riped off. got a book and a dvd that they released for everyone to see. so that sucked. I never said i'm jumping ship i'm just disapointed with the game. I do not think theirs a single person that is NOT dissapointed with FFXIV. The game was fun 1-20 then got lame fast.

SE really needs to get some shit into this game that people want to do. If they do not people will keep leaving even faster.

Still you paid 80 bucks for Modern Warfare 2, which is even more sucky.
(Not saying that you actually bought it, but out there is a world of worse things that have been released in a much higher price.)

I guess that if they would have released the game internationally after 1 - 1.5 years it got released in JP, nobody would have been b*tching around.
The state in which FFXIV is right now is BETTER than when it was for FFXI. Things just take time.

Just to point out that even Rift doesn't have so much content, and they are adding it just now.

Patience is a virtue of the strong.
