this new game director producer does not know what he is doing.

no matter how much you try to protect them but their works are the best proves that they are not done it good enough

Am I the only one here that is seeing Argh trying to bring up a fight??? I mean look at his name it's "Argh" its a joke...

I'm a long time FFXI veteran and I do not want this game to be a FFXI clone, nor do I want it to be a WoW clone(trying not to bring WoW clone argument into this). All I want is my Final Fantasy Title, and my experience... but sadly all I see is people like this "Argh" trying to pull away the enjoyment out of everyone else, and whine and cry like everyone else...

As the OP you sit there and make a bold statement saying "this new game director producer does not know what he is doing", but do you even know what that means... I bet your one of those hardcore players that want things now now now... well here's a little lesson... thats not how life works, deal with it... if you don't like it, go to something else...

Do what the last poster said

1) play the game for what it is in its current state and try to enjoy it, or 2) play something else but keep-up on these forums expecting, or at least hoping, that they will turn this game around!

Hey Evenstar, Are you the peniendoime(forget how to spell it) paladin evenstar from FFXI?

You know what the biggest mistake of Square Enix was? These forums ....

They never should have made these forums. They never should have asked us what we wanted. Since obviously it is impossible to please some of you ... just go play FFXI or any other game that pleases you, but please, just please shut up already with the endless not constructive crying.

I find the OP to be quite hilarious, imho lol. I'm really happy with the way the game is going. The updates are going pretty much how I imagined they would and just like they have been saying. People are expecting more sooner, I get that. But, they have said time and time again that it was going to be a slow process. So far, I am content with how things are going. If I decide that they aren't living up to my expectations, then I'll simply say goodbye to FFXIV.

why ppl keep protecting the dev while the fact is their works suck and the game is dying?

Because I don't think their work sucks.

Their work is incomplete. I like where it is headed and I have the patience to wait for it. I don't want them to throw out something just to get it done, I want it to be high quality.

Complaining about it will do nothing but give everyone, dev team included, high blood pressure and prone to small fits of hysterical screams.

Ohh.. Well boo hoo. Go play another game? O_o

Im sure youll get your 1-2 hour re-spawn times by next year.

You can fight a dragon in WoW! Doesnt that sound AWESOME!? go check it out...

[Nuru]

No no, they dont care about fighting dragons. They want to fight each other.

I always had a sliver of hope for this game, and continue to play it religiously... but after this update.. I honestly don't have a problem with the low lvl nms and the low level gear that they drop, not a problem at all. I find the 3 minute spawn time just sad... there is absolutely no challenge or excitement. I am not saying I want these nms to have like a 5 hour pop window, but even the level 10 nms in XI took at least 45 mins.. and had a placeholder. Everyone knew everything there is to know about these nms in about 2 hours after the servers were up... that is obviously not "casual player" behavior to jump on ever NM right when they are released. This game just seems to be getting more and more directed for people who want everything handed to them on a silver platter... it is sad to see a game that had so much potential head in this direction.

if this game had pvp elements to it i would camp you mancats all day every day. if the game did not allow corps-looting i would camp your respawn graves until you called a gm crying for a teleport away from the "madness".

yeah, i am a pvp'er when it comes to mmo's. i always wished FFXI had open pvp so i can use my neckchopper for that prick of an off-tank that did not pull hate off me because he did not want to die and lose xp, which resulted in me dying during that failed pull in quifim. but i also enjoy my pve. and at the top of MY list is the dangerous world of an mmo with at least some sandbox elements.

i bet you think i sound angry. but you would be wrong. these are just memories. a challanging mmo should not be frowned upon. the challange is what creates the atmosphere. the atmopshere is what gets engraved in your heads. the most memoriable times in your mmo careers will be those tough situations where you lost. you will look back at those and say "man those were good times."

now all we have is players going "WHA! WHA! i don't wanna travel. i don't wanna die, i hate 2 minute res sicknesses! i don't wanna socialize! WHA WHA!"

if this game doesn't change it deserves everything it will get. it deserves the hole it dug itself into. if SE is smart the board of directors would fire the ceo and his replacement should appoint a gamer to lead this project, not someone that is shaking in his boots.
