Thread: Is 1.18 the final straw?

They should have just made an MMO sequel to XII set in its world with HD graphics, it would have been released sooner and far better than XIV. Makes you wonder where it all went wrong with XIV's world design when they put that much effort into a single player world.

+1

I personally agree with everything you stated above, our only differences lie in what kind of games we like; i put story line and character progression in top priority which is what leads me to my views.

Kinda like Mystic Quest got a ton of hate when it wasn't a bad game at all.

LOL.

Am I the only one who plays FF games for the music and aesthetics?

The gameplay of every single FF game sucks.

I have no qualms with the FF music Nobuo Uematsu is a great composer.
