One to Fifty, One Zone - Long OP

[kurokawa]

Just got back into ffxi and god that game has changed so much in 2 years.

Shows that the Dev team can change things but it takes time I suppose.

The big thing that hit me straight away was the zones in ffxi. The graphics are obviously old school 2002 fare but the variety and feel of each zone is immense still, especially when you add great music for nostalgia.

Walking back into ronfare was nice, felt like home. That's what this game needs.

50 pages woot! Bound to get some correspondence! Suggestions and ideas thrown out here have been phenomenal, and I'm glad that we all could create a decent thread without resorting to arguing and trollololololing, like so many that go down here--just a testament to how undivided the community is about this issue!

Thanks again Sio, and everyone for contributing! Our adventures are sure to come!

[Siobu]

Thanks, everyone, for bringing us this far!!

I hope that come business week, all of our dedication for the last few days will be acknowledged. Crossing my fingers and toes for any possible information. Continued thanks to our French and German posters, and our readers.

Richard, your video was truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing with us here, it's great work!

Also, if anyone else would like to create their own map progression ideas or scenery, I'd be honored to put it up front.

Even if they take your advice on board, then there are still a lot of compromises to be made.

I agree, beautiful write up OP.
I'm aware of the lack of transportation but I believe anima teleporting is ruining Eorzea.
Instead of waiting for an airship, traveling via foot by chocobo or receiving a surprise teleport from a whm, I just teleport.
It made it feel worthwhile when I arrived when it took some of my time.
This method almost grants the feeling that I've seen and can see everything this game has to offer. Without any work I might add.

Well, I think there's two possible outcomes: We'll either be informed that nothing in our current world is changing, aside from the addition of more camps. Or, that we can expect a true, diverse experience from 1 to 50 in time.

And I believe it's important for us here to know where we'll be in our future, both in higher levels as well as the too-often-forgotten early levels. An answer, either answer, will help us understand their real direction for Eorzea and for this game.

Should a true world be on its way, I look forward to waiting. Here's to a crown!

Jobeto, thank you for your thoughts. I understand how you feel.

Anytime Siobu. No words can describe how elated I felt from reading your concise summarization stating the lack of progression and sense of achievement this game desperately needs.

Brace for tomorrows "we are adding camps and re-arranging mobs" as the best they can do to make the world feel more filled out. Maybe im just a debbie downer, but i can't help and think they dont want to do that much work to get this up to snuff for us to start paying. I also have a feeling that SE's higher ups have given them like a fall deadline until they need to start charging....cause this games been quite an expensive screw up.

Makes me miss Vanadiel too.... Im still holding that tiny candle of hope that they were hard at work on FFXI-2 XD
(they did say they tried to do everything a lot different from it for 14 on purpose....so maybe?)
