XIV is Not Being Remade for You/Us

[ellohwell]

If autoattack, crafting oversimplification, dye screw up, and tons of other stupid ideas are anything to go by, you're right, FFXIV being made for a bunch of tasteless morons.

I agree. Final Fantasy XI is still out there. I would agree with an HD re-skin of the game for ps3 or psvita, but there's no point in having two Final Fantasy XI.

Dear Mr. Yoshida,
Player. Versus. Player.

It would happen. Some of us like PvP and some of us like PvE only. Yoshi-P is thinking about it in the different way than other MMOs. It just takes more time to build one for PvE lovers to try it without being annoyed by other asshats. xP

Bring it on, Yoshi! ^_^

Smells like necro in here.

WOW! I seen necro bumbs usually 1-4 months but this...DAMN 0.o

Well, even though it is a necro. The title still holds true for the most part.

Yep, it's being made for a very specific group, no one who's played XI or XIV is part of that equation, over all there were between 16-60k actual players and throw in XI's 320-500k...no company would remake an MMO for that small amount of players, especially if they're not trying to get the XI players.

Except it is being made for us.. lol Us being the audience that will buy it (target audience) and in a quality that will allow SE redemption on its record..

Don't know about you, but i'm not buying the game again. What they are fighting for however is my sub fees. It's being remade for everyone in a sense, but the target audience is definitely not the people that stuck around. I really don't get that vibe from A Realm Reborn.

Since this thread is back anyway....I think the current game is being made to try and cater to everyone as has been stated time and again. My major concern is that's it's only going to succeed in soliciting a lukewarm response from everyone because no one is getting 100% the kind of game they wanted. In a way, I feel it's stepping backwards from innovative ideas and trying to add in known successful formulas....which guarantees gameplay we've done before. Does the larger audience just want more of what they already have in Final Fantasy skins?
