Is 1.18 the final straw?

**PikachuLink** · 06-03-2011 04:39 PM

ok 1.18 IS the straw cause if battle isnt fun then the game isnt fun....so it will be the straw....but not to say good content isnt also on the way after but yes battle in necessary and if it fails alot wont come

not saying i dont think they will do it right cause i gots faith

Getting a tad off topic are we?

More on point, 1.18 will lure me back into active play for a whole to test the waters of the new auto attack system. If things prove positive I'm sure people on Melmond will be seeing me around more.

If you stuck around this long there is no real last straw since there will always be another straw to cling to on the horizon, the thing that makes people quit after playing so long is getting into another MMO.

Mostly the remaining players are in 2 camps, people that can't afford to play a proper MMO (these will remain regardless) and those that are clinging on in hope of things changing around and them being in a powerful position when it happens. FFXIV will never have a major turnaround, it may scrape some players back for a still uncomfirmed PS3 release but it won't be anything like the success XI was or do any better. As such it's life span will be a lot shorter and its additions far less grandeur and far fewer. Realisation will be the game killer more than the failing of any one patch.

People that have hung in this long really won't quit after 1 update, there will be a point they give up but one update won't do it...not after 8 months of being strung along.

Its getting might, mighty close to being that way for many of the people I talk to on my server. I mean, you want to be loyal here but, there are only about 5 different things you can do in this game. Leves, nm's, craft, farm, quests. Not a huge list really after 9 months. The changes need to start being deeper and coming quicker or its all over. Hurts to say it, cause the game has great potential. But you cant run a franchise on potential.

You don't know what you got till it's gone.

Meh, the class changes and the job system will be the make/break point for me. Content, difficulty and so on take the back burner if the class design is lacking. Granted, I'm far from done with the game as far as what's currently ingame, but still.

I'll stay on till they turn off the light switch lol. I think its ironic that they could possibly be coming full circle with the FF series. FF was named that for one reason, it was their final attempt before going belly-up. I know they arent going to go belly-up, however if this fails we may never see another FF MMO. Players will have that lil memory in the back of their head of xiv. I really hope that this game gets turned around.

Oddly, my husband and I were talking about the game tonight and said this very same thing. If FFXIV fails, I doubt we'll ever see another FF MMO.

There is a lot more riding on pulling this game back from the brink than just a single title.

Thats crazy get mad if you want but i bet that if they did make this "ffxi-2" all this crap and forums and arguing wouldnt be here, ppl loved that game and they would have flocked to a updated version of it and many more as well.

End this crap and give the xi team the funds and support to create a master piece in the vision of xi and I bet they would turn out a game far more successful then this, even in the begining with their exp i bet it would be solid, the fundamentals would be there at least and xiv didnt even get that right.
