FINAL FANTASY XIV Suggestive Changes

It's a translation issue. The gladiator in this game isn't a reference to the fighters of the arena but simply a person who uses a sword. It is literally "sword user" in Japanese. The reason it is named gladiator in English is because gladius = sword in latin and thus gladiator = sword user.

I think you summed up the rolling list of concerns and have captured what i feel would be good in most aspects. Great job! I have many comments but to sum up my thoughts on your document in a sentence:


---


Crafting isn’t fun.

You nailed it... I go to sleep every time I craft. I don't mean I get tired or I wander off. I FALL ASLEEP IN MY CHAIR EVERY TIME.

Thanks for the wonderful summary, there is too much to respond to.

maybe add a sell multi item and buy multi item from NPC will be nice, sell 1 item/time is pain, also the limit of trade item should raise from 4 to 8-10 item

Looks like someone spent more time making a powerpoint than actually playing the game.

This PDF attempts to shine light on most of the issues the game has been having and a lot of the issues that players are seeking to have addressed.

I think you've presented a lot of good ideas in the document. I didn't agree with everything written, but a lot of it was pretty good.

However, I also think it would have been better received without the snark. I realize that to put this together, you would have to appeal to players who were also frustrated with the game. But now that it's "prime time" and possibly faced with a real review from actual developers, it just feels like what otherwise looks like a well-crafted, thoughtful article gets a tad too facetious at times to be taken as seriously as you would have liked it.

Still, it was a good effort, and maybe we'll see some of your ideas implemented.

God, i love you. I hope Dev team reads it and reconsider something.. ughhhhh wait reconsider everything he wrote lol

How about a login feature that kicks you in the crotch anytime you go to play, that would be something that no other MMO has either.

Just because its unique doesn't mean its good. But this is my opinion, and they can choose to keep the armory system and i'll just not play.

And I really deserved that belligerent reply, didn't I?

If you'd bothered to have read what gaming critics wrote about FFXIV, in the midst of their own belligerent ravings, most of them actually listed the Armory System as the game's best feature. I'm not saying everyone is going to like it, but certainly many respected gaming aficionados saw promise.

Well it is a forum , and it was more of a smart ass reply than belligerent.

Critics might love it. But critics don't play the game for weeks.. I liked the system, but when every class starts to be the same... well. It fails.
