PS3 UI Screens

Most of the time, the forums do more complaining then constructive criticism. I'm the 1 in the few people that try to give SE something to be hopeful about. If all the forums do is bash SE.. where is the motivation to make an awesome game?

There has to be a balance between telling (SE your doing this wrong! and SE your doing a great job keep it up!) I know they are a company.. but they are human to, if someone kept bashing your ideas to the ends of the earth or even bullying you How would your self-esteem be at that time?

It's like a parents need to have unconditional love for their child. Saying this is bad but showing them you still love and care for them. Of course it's not the same way with a Company, but people do need motivation to have any strive to even continue.

You also have to realize those who will "be positive" or "defend everything" doesn't help either -- You say there needs to be a balance but then you have certain people who will tell others they're being negative or wrong or "its my opinion gtfo" because they can't handle someone with a different view from them. Accepting everything someone does leads us to DLC for basic stuff which lead Capcom to their current business practice of charging us 2-4x+ for game content that we already paid for -- Some things are simply unacceptable that people will defend or will tell those who have concerns they shouldn't be concerned about it and accept it.

As much as people want to hate on and bash Tanaka and the previous team, most of which as YoshiP said still works on XIV, people need to remember that ARR is Yoshida's first real step to prove is he has what it takes or not -- When he took over XIV 1.0 he stated he was pushing out the updates and content the previous team had in the works then it would be stuff he as a director/producer puts in the pipeline like the Job system.

As much as people want to say ARR is a brand new game, if it takes place on the same planet and follow the same storyline, it's the same game -- The design may be different but most people will always remember Final Fantasy XIV as the MMO that failed in 2010 and there's a hell of a lot they need to do to get people and keep them despite that. "No press is bad press" but in terms of MMOs, not many get a successful second chance.

What most people "lol you all complain everything!" seem to ignore is that in terms of graphics, they are a step back from current, you can deny this tll your fingers fall off if you want, but it's fact; This is why people will comment on the graphics at all -- while graphics aren't everything, not everyone is blind to changes being made for ARR or will be happy with everything.
