Thread: Is 1.18 the final straw?

Exactly what I'm thinking. You want all r50 jobs when new shit is released?

SE isn't gonna please everyone with the 1.18 update, so some of you minus well take a "Long" break.
Get yourself a nice job and work it and do something effective as a time sink, get yourself a nice big TV for when FF14 does get worked over.

As long as SE is using their resources to try and make this a better game I'll continue to play. If there were truly better alternatives I'd be playing them. I really see the potential this game has within it whether or not it ever reaches my envisioned potential we will have to wait and see. SE has openly admitted they made mistakes they also have said they are willing to fix them given time 1.18 is the beginning for me not the final straw.

I think what you're posting is why FFXIV will die with a whimper... as opposed to a 'bang'.....

This game is too big to remain free to play to SE, and if 1.18 doesnt bring people back like they hoped, and instead loses people as it seems to be many peoples last straw, we very well may see these servers go down. PS3 version will be scrapped as it just wouldnt be worth it to put it out anywhere else as it will lose SE money. All i can hope is that they do deliver, because if they dont we very well may see this game go down.

They are kicking a dead horse putting dev time into this game. They should scap it, and sell the rights to Final Fantasy to a better game developer. The only thing that SE has done to the Final Fantasy franchise's goodwill is destroy it. Every year that they hold on to it, the worse it becomes.

I am worried about Deus Ex turning out to be a pos since SE is working on it. I just pray that they are only doing the graphics for the game and that Eidos is doing EVERYTHING else. I was going to pre-order the game, but I will not purchase it until there is a strong concensus on the game's enjoyability on metacritic.

I couldn't disagree more. The FF series has been getting better over the past five years or so with the exception of XIV. I was worried XII would be my last FF game after playing the awful game that was X some years prior but SE surprised me and put out a game that was almost on par with FFVII. Then they went and did the same with XIII. The next FF game should take the best from XII and XIII and produce the best FF game ever. I have high hopes for XV, let's see if they can deliver.
