Running out of stuff to, there needs to be more endgame content.

Yoshi himself said The game starts once you reach end-game - which means in all reality they should have focused more on end-game content.

Sometimes Yoshi-p sounds sarcastic, and I honestly don't think he REALLY meant "Game starts at 50". However, that's just me and how I see it.

Even more so if we have to go threw 1-50 every time we level a new Class/Job. If the game starts at 50 then we shouldn't have to go threw 50 levels just to start the game. Which is why when he said it, I blew it off because it didn't make any sense unless we actually started at level 50.

but many have maxed their particular areas of interest and no longer see much benefit in logging in. and to those saying this is how it is in all games, you are mistaken.

Yeah, it kinda is how it is with all games. If a game doesn't give you something interesting to keep you hooked, you won't stay ( or buy even single player games for that matter). You are seriously telling me people will still play an MMO if they maxed out their "Areas of interest"? x.x

I feel the same way, IMHO i believe he said that regarding people complaining about the game being too easy to get to level 50. So he basically said that the difficulty is going to be ramped up for end game and I have to say, unless you have an FC with a group of people you play with every day, end game is pretty challenging.

Bingo!

its kinda telling that many of us legacy players were able to stay interested in this game for years by finding various goals and avenues to pursue. imo, 1.0 had much more of a sandbox feel to it. sure it had its problems and issues, and i think many of these have been addressed in ARR. however, i can't help but feel that the conversion into a fully theme-park type of game, has reduced the longevity of this title.

i won't speak for others, but i feel like there's a definite end in sight and it sucks to watch it get closer and closer knowing it'll soon be time to move on to something else. many of my 1.0 FC/LS mates have already shelved this game due to a lack of new content. not all have maxed every possible aspect of the game, but many have maxed their particular areas of interest and no longer see much benefit in logging in. and to those saying this is how it is in all games, you are mistaken.

Looking at your achievements, unless they are not listing correctly, you are missing some that you have not done from the main scenario quest. That is something you can do, finish your achievements? But in general it looks like you will burn through anything you get your hands on in short time. Perhaps waiting for the game to be around longer might also help. Not sure how much you like doing it but helping new players is also an option.

Good lord some people will go to the ends of the earth to defend every single minute detail of this game.

Nope, I hate FATEs and expressed it immensely.

Who doesnt?

Some people think I defend this game to the ends of the earth ( I say whatever to them), and I am expressing things that I hate about the game. ( because apparently on the forums you always have to be negative) :P.

Yeah, it kinda is how it is with all games....

i respectfully disagree. some games don't rely on dev created content to get you hooked, they give players tools to create their own content. 1.0 was much more in this vein, the highest level gear wasn't tied to dungeons, it was tied to crafting and materia. we had much more flexibility with gear and there were no stat caps for materia, so you could get creative with the various types of high level gear and play styles they required. in ARR, all the high end gear is obtained thru one mechanic, running dungeons. and there's a remarkably bland formula to it all which reinforces very similar play styles. i understand that some find this approach entertaining, but as someone that spent years playing 1.0, it feels hollow.

I don't think it is wrong to say something good about a product that you are willingly paying money for on a regular basis for entertainment purposes. If you cannot say good things about it what are you paying/playing it for? There are too many choices out there, you don't have to pay to play a game you dislike.
