Updates: FFXI and FFXIV, a comparison

[Ilean]

They're not doing anything with market/trade, economy, all thats been changed with gathering is the new items added. Nothing is changing with craft system, the only thing changing with class is skills are getting change so thats skills not the classes. nothings changing with storage or the game world. or transport, or quest, or mail.

All that we know is: Stamina removed, Auto Attack added, Physical/Elemental attributes redesigned, Skills for the classes redesigned and 3 dungeons being added. The rest comes after 1.18

So it is slow and battle is not 60%. Why do they not have a guy working on new guildleves or quests? Why do not they have a 3D Modeller making new mobs? in 9 months we've had 1 new mob. I've not heard much news of a lot of gear coming out, im only expecting something like the faction stuff.

QQ moar!!!!

Yep. They have a million things that need to be redone, implemented, or expanded that are not battle system, yet nothing is happening there.

They're either lazy, incompetent, short staffed, don't care, or the game is FUBAR. Or any combination of those.

Most likely that one. Not to mention some of the staff is shared with XI (or just not working on XIV all together)

Explain your reasoning further. If they can fix the game in the timeframe they've set themselves, they are neither of those. Your personal timeline has no weight here at all.

I beg to differ on this, as Diremites, Pirates, goblins, puddings, and many other mobs were added in post release...

All of them excluding Goblins have been in the game since Alpha. Just turning the on switch does not count as a new developed mob when its been fully developed over a year ago.

I think the whole idea was to not necessarily stop working on that content, but to not release it. I'm fairly sure, Ishguard & most of the related content is probably ready to go. But they decided to not release it, as they felt it would be a waste with the current system.

I really hope so. I just wish they'd say so. I guess they don't want to do that until they have a timetable on the relaunch.

ffxi was finsh before they released it, expansions finshed before the came out. not the case with ffxiv now there making it on the fly, they should of took everything the learnd from ffxi and used that to build off of, but no the decide to make them selfs look like there new to making games, reinventing the wheel.
