Lost faith in Yoshi-P?

[strallaalaa]

upper management is always the cause of some on the job BS. there usually clueless and try to make as much money as they can with out spending a dime then the workers suffer for it.

this is very true, http://www.arenajunkies.com/topic/17...rep-will-fail/

lol i love posting about this thread cause it can show everyone what are the type of things that happen in the mmo and gaming world. they totally deleted the real thread where he talks way more, and there is other devs too, fact you can find other devs from games talking the same way if you take the time to find them lol. is funny cause EA didn't really take it down cause it was up for years and people started linking this thread to lots of mmo's and then it got taken down.

either way i not lost faith cause i never really had any faith in one man. if no one wants to believe he has a destination and yeah he is probably taking some of his own path to get there but in the end it's mostly planed out(lol probably no diff then picking our president but anyway) from vague questions in our polls to changes that i bet lots didn't realize they were voting or asking for. to 360 the game rather then fixing the engine and going as planned, it is obvious there is only one plan and that is to try and get the game up to the standards of failed mmo's that at least made some cash b4 f2p. it is obvious that it would be in the front of the minds of devs and yoshi that the game might still fail so really you need to look at the mmo and the devs and there actions towards the ffxiv in that stand point first and for most.

in the end though, i think the game is going in wrong directions, but i'm still hopefully that after launch, after they start patching in new content it will go in a different direction. just like wow went from harder content, to easy content, then back to hard content. i think the devs if smart enough know that the easy route will kill them off totally. any and all mmo's for that matter should always start with something huge and large scale and lots of casual play stuff too. witch is what i think/hope ffxiv will start with. then it will be like a real game getting harder and harder as time and patches go by.

the question really is if we have enough content b4 first patch, cause most won't stick around cause it's been long enough of a disaster. my hopes is crystal towers and the labyrinth will be epic stuff that will hold a lot of players to the game long enough for them to be confident in pumping out more content. think of it like atari, they bankrupt back in day. then made cheaper version for the people but guess what the older version was selling for like 8bucks a game now cause it's failure and was way cheaper and almost went bankrupt again. this is like content, they are making it but most of us are 50's everything but they are making the game for new people, learning our classes again and looking around won't be content like yoshi keeps mentioning witch worries me. it might not be enough.

i had over 750+days of game play in 5+ years of ffxi, i've played like every mmo since then. warhammer, swtor, gw2, d3, tera, secret world, allods, dcu and i quit every one of them in 2-6months except warhammer it was epic pvp for a good year and was my first true pvp game witch has made any other pvp mmo feel stale and not worth the time. either way, i am pulling for yoshi and his team but i've lost faith in the mmo industry (and tv industry but that is another topic lol) as a whole and till they prove me wrong then i don't need to keep feeling let down every year by multiple mmo's.

and for those who say stop comparing mmo's or ffxi to ffxiv. maybe we are not comparing mmo's we are comparing ourselves and our enjoyment and entertainment value. what games did that just comes along with it at times. any who since i always sound like i'm complaining lmao, i have to always repeat. i still am here, i'm still on forums and still excited to play ffxiv. it still looks like a funner mmo then any that has come out since ffxi ...but i'm not so blind and wishful for it to work that i'm going to ignore all the issues they are pumping into it. first was how to make it not ffxi and stuff like yoshi has stated, now it's more how to kiss butt and make at the least our money back. any one think diff is just nutty.
