Nique's happy fun time thread ~ Super general discussion

[Catapult]

What am I looking forward to in ARR?

Digging into the history of the Twelveswood, of course. I want to munch through all those juice quests that tell us about the creation of the forest, arrivial of the moogles, population by the miqo'te, the rise and fall of Allag and Gelmorra and the foundation of Gridania.

im not commenting want i think anymore about that..cos this post is great and got to keep it clean ^^
Please ClausL if you want to post about F2P Make your thread. This is Happy fun ... and we know F2P discussion turn into not happy fun.

All people know conversation about F2P , SSM ..always turn into vinigar... so when i see people come here and talk of it ..i can see trolling to close the fun thread -.-

yes fun times ahead!! and clausl no hard feelings..heres a cupcake...

[Forgo]

Oh, no need to worry about that. It would probably be 'for fun' cosmetic items, like vanity pets and costume skins.

You wouldn't be able to buy stuff that would make you stronger.

Aye lol though FFXIV ARR will have fun events for stuff like too bro! sunbreeze festival here i come!!

[ClausL]

I asked my friends if they would ever consider paying for FFXIV and they went like this

[Zerosion]

is this an exclusive club or something?

I have no idea how to roleplay. Sorry. I'm just gonna type normally. I don't even remember how Lalalfells act.

anyway... general discussion Do you guys think FFXIV will go free-to-play? I personally think it will.

You don't have to RP man, its the overarching negativity. Every post you make has been about Nique being a bad person,about how RP'ing is creepy and that 14 is worse than XI. When all you do is spout negativity around no one has to like you.

To answer your question though. No I don't believe that ARR will go free to play. At least, they have my sub, and im not going anywhere.

Well, I played XI for around 4 years, loved my WHM, DNC and SMN. One of my fonder memories is getting my Carbuncle gloves, the party was just full of fun people.

My own personal achievements were my Chocobo racing Trophies and soloing Shiva 1/1 on Iceday (they were stronger on their elements day)

It's funny because I went a whole 1/7 on Ifrit on Firesday and in XIV I went around about 1/55 before finally dropped a weapon on me XD ...Ifrit hates me...

When XI became too much of a chore to play due to needing hours to do even the smallest tasks, we had a big party, gave away all our Gil and hard won items and never looked back.

Then FFXIV came out, got new computers, collection editions... Played it because there were so many good memories from XI that I wanted to see if this new world would make more~! it was clumsy but... I enjoyed it for the most part I suppose... but then I took about 8 months break because there were so many flaws that I just didn't want to deal with. I missed the Summer (swimsuit) event because of my break. Later I came back and things were different, with every patch something was fixed or improved and the game (finally) became a pleasure to play.

Little Darklight here, little Garuda there and my LS and I were spending every night doing something fun ^_^

Question to add to Kirito's: What things are you looking most forward to in 2.0?

I look most forward to getting my Relic Tome for SMN once 2.0 is launched... I am really interested to see how Ifu-X has changed in terms of difficulty and strategy. I am also really looking forward to scaling the Crystal Tower one floor at a time.
I really, really, really am looking forward to having my own home and raising superb Chocobos once again...

Things to look forward to in 2.0 in no particular order.

1: Getting back into my character/whm gear. It'll be good to get back. Oh and finally getting Thyrus :> (I'll prob end up going for all the mages AF's eventually.
2: Chocobo breeding/raising. I can't wait to see what they do with this. *crosses fingers*
3: Getting everyone in my shell back into the game.
4: Housing! My two WHM partners and I will prob end up pooling are resources and get the best that we can get(prob not much). (did I ever mention I have my awesome partners in crime? Moggle Mog never saw us coming )
5: Meeting new people. With all these new people coming in, and the server transfers. Im sure im going to meet lots of great new people. Hell, I already have in this thread XD (hope I end up on the same server as some of ya :P)
6: Logs... /obsession
7: New content of course. Can't wait to take on new primals, new dungeons etc
8: Arcanist. When im not a WHM doing dungeons or something i'll prob be leveling Arcanist, because im a sucker for mages(even if I suck at anything but healing)
9: Exploring! I want to go everywhere. In 1.0 I did make it to every Ayetherite. The BS provided quite the challenge! And while im aware I won't have any trouble like that in 2.0(over world mobs being designed for solo) I will still enjoy waltzing into every little spot on the map, just to see whats there.
10: FATE's are pretty cool looking! Things likew the Ifrit in the trailer should make for interesting things to do.

And this is just the start. There is more of course. As you can tell, I am looking forward to ARR. ^^

New Question: When they introduced old bosses from previous games. Would you like a bit of story line and previous heroes to come back as well? (IE: Dissidia style)

I think it would be very hard on SE to be able to do that with say the main bosses (kefka/ultimacia etc) But if they did, than I wouldn't complain. As long as they make it makes sense in the game. Lol. I can Imagine some Garlean generals that are basically parodies of past FF end bosses. Like a Garlean gen that looks like a color swapped parody of Kefka, named Kufka or something.

[ClausL]

I didn't really call the roleplaying creepy. It was the poetry and stuff that made me kind of uncomfortable.

I have no idea how to RP, but I don't care if you guys do it. I played FFXI for many years, and FFXIV for a while, so I'm pretty used to people RPing their characters non stop lol. ESPECIALLY mithras (miqote) and tarutaru (lalafell).

[Rubieus]

Well now I am back from work. _-_ worked 9 days straight. finally have a day off tomorrow. What shall I do?

Well I guess I should have been more detailed. I know for a fact that Yoshi-P said there would be bosses from previous games and he wanted to incorporate previous titles into ARR in some way. So my question should have been.

"Which boss(es) and/or characters would you like to see in the Crystal Tower? Fight Basch Von Rotsenberg? Kimari Ronso? Who would challenge Cloud Strife? oh my!"

@ClausL
Civility is key to the betterment of mankind. I appreciate your candor as well as the next man/woman/child. So I will answer your questions.

I do not believe F2P is suitable for this game as it has already cost the company alot of money. Not that money is any real issue. The player base, I'm afraid will drastically change. I feel for worse. I have a "legacy" status on a different game, it then went to F2P and while I still enjoy playing it immensly. All the little Cash shop pop ups and stuff to lure other players into paying out to gain benefits is, how to say it.. Ruins my immersion.

Secondly; Role playing is a key essential in playing any game Post 1990. You play as Link, Master Chief, Ezio Auditore. Your role is whatever it is that they are. Albeit your interactions with npcs is limited to the scope of the game, but in an MMO. You can be almost anyone!. Your story begins when you create your character. While I do not know you per say. We can assume you are a lala and that LNC is your main. Are you a soldier of the resistence turned adventurer? Perhaps a spy for the Garlean army? Maybe you are one of thirteen lalafells looking for the perfect 14th adventurer to help you on your epic quest! No? A farmer then, you found a gunbladespear in your cabbage patch and while it doesn't work. Your interested was piqued and you studied the art of the stab stab to better understand the artifact you found of a time long ago.

Either way, Roleplaying is fun. But like everything else. You get out of it, what you put into it.

Oh boy, the chance to kill Cloud? SE wouldn't spoil me so much. Wait, FF7 Cloud? or FF7: Advent Children Cloud? There is a differnce.

FFVII Cloud= Badass with memory problems FFVII Advent Children Cloud: Moody melodrama still badass though...
the different for people who don't know lol XD

Oh, no need to worry about that. It would probably be 'for fun' cosmetic items, like vanity pets and costume skins.

You wouldn't be able to buy stuff that would make you stronger.

That's just it. In order for them to afford a free to play model they will have to continually come up with stupid little content for people to buy. And that will slow down the process of making large expansions and additions to the story. Because nobody's going to pay for something that isn't new, that's why league of legends Releases a new champion every other week.

I don't know about you but I'm just hunky-dory paying $12 a month.
