Realm Reborn = downgrade?

[HiirNoivl]

why do people always bash unfinshed stuff?

thats like bashing a painting when its still being sketched.

I think we're a little bit beyond the sketch phase. ^^

I really don't see what people are complaining about. The movement is different but that's what we all expected right? Besides saying that it was pre-Alpha like a billion times, Yoshi-P also said that the demo was just like "An ordinary MMO".

Someone thinking about those words would of course be expecting things to get better in the future. Of course, if you want to complain about a demo reel that will never see the light of day again, have fun.

Nope. I never expected to see such a downgrade on such an important aspect of the game.

Exactly. And this should be one of the "final fantasy feels" that Yoshida kept mentioning. I sincerely hope he doesn't just copy straight what WoW had for controls and movements and the "final fantasy feels" he talked about were just graphics.

These transitional animations are of a great deal to me at least. This is how you make a feeling of gravity and inertia and making things in the game alive, instead of just moving some object arbitrarily.

And it's not for any sake of bashing. It's a concern of mine and I hope the director knows it's a big deal.

(In addition, if you watch the gamescom video again, you can see how his "galka" friend turns around with no animation and he just changes the way he faces instantly)

This. Please help make others aware of this issue, this isn't just grass, but a major aspect of the general feel of the game.

Judging by this thread i dare to say that a big part of this community may share my concern.

We need a developer to address the issue as soon as possible.

I'm a legacy member currently, but i'm not sure if i want to keep paying for a game that is directed to feel like another WoW.

ready or not, it's going have a lot of wow clonish things to it.

lmao lol. This why 1.0 failed on launch instead making animation they should have had better server and content.

lol.

This is why every single mmo after WoW fails after a while. Because when you've seen the biggest part of the content what makes you STAY in the game is the general feel of it. I'm sure we've all seen the biggest part of FFXI content by our first year in the game, what made us stay and continue to level up was that feel.

First you establish the feel, then you add content. And animations are almost 50% of the feel.

OH NO! NOT THE PHYSICS! THIS WILL RUIN FF14!

FUNDAMENTAL GAMEPLAY ELEMENTS!

(Ignore the removal of the weekly xp cap, invisible wall and the stamina bar.)

SE DOESN'T WANT US TO HAVE NICE THINGS!

Anywayyy... back at the adult's table...

The only arguments I'm seeing against this thread have to do with "stop crying," when the only ones crying are the ones pointing the finger, and "it's only a demo reel," when the demo reel alone stands for an 80% optimized (Yoshi's words) graphical representation of what we are expected to see based on marketing alone. I want to hear from an official dev statement that it's either purposely removed, or that it won't work because of reason A and reason B.
