Realm Reborn = downgrade?

FOR THE HONOUR OF MY BELOVED SQUARE ENIX!

Wow you are just too cool for school ain't ya. I'd rather support the publisher of my fave MMO for 6yrs to actually come through this time instead of messing up. Call it white knighting all you like, but it beats being a whiney little kid that is crying over animation before he has even touched the game to see how it even plays like. Get off your high horse, you really think the devs give 2 blinks on what you think? I highly doubt it, but keep crying I'm sure 80% of the forums are enjoying a very dull day at work while laughing at your posts.

Yeah but if enough of it is rotten it's not worth saving. That's the whole premise of 2.0. Even if you're not a game developer, the year of f2p, the public apology, the Legacy discounts are all saying how rotten the game was. They're not supporting that game any more. They're burying the copies of it in the Arizona desert. I would never support them trying to zombie FFXIV. It's too limited, too clunky. There was so much people wanted that "couldn't be done with the current client", "couldn't be done with the current servers and structure", "couldn't be done with the current UI".

Every time I sell something on a retainer I'm reminded how crappy 1.0 is. No amount of pretty, realistic animation would make me want them to stop rebuilding the entire game.

The current engine is a turd, you can polish it all you want, it will still be a turd. The devs saw this and started from scratch.

Amen to both of these. Like Hiir says, I'd sacrifice animation for everything that they posted.
