Think I might've gotta too sold on the graphics when I got this game...

[Drunk-Bandit]

Too be honest the only thing I was looking at when I first saw this game was basically the graphics... Really thought S.E Would step it up... learn from their past mistakes... and build this game to be something better then XI :/... Man was I wrong... They focused soo much on the graphics... but forgot about the rest of the stuff... Most important tho... this game has zero Fun Factor... all your doing is the same leves... over... over... and over again... They have no storyline... lmao... unless fanboys think that killing 2 rats actually counts :/... Where's the Epic War against the empire... Where the chocobos... and airships... It's been 8 months... and you guys haven't done anything! I'm really starting to think that you guys gave up on this game or something... Sure the Auto attack system is "Okay!", but come on now... that's stuff we had in FFXI... Seems to me like this game brings nothing new to the mmorpg table but empty promises :/ *rant mode off*

Not so much as gave up, they are pretty much re-doing the game in several aspect. If you got to the end of the storyline from the cities you can see an epic story get started but nothing to do afterwards. SOON!

[Drunk-Bandit]

SOON!

Problem is... I've been hearing that term too much for the past 8 months by a delusional fanbase... lol but heck it's already too late for me... *Goes back to FFXI*

lol just so you know, there has been a change in dev teams. Naturally change takes time when you completely switch the developers. I would wait for patch 1.18 before giving up hope. It's hard to be patient, but many believe the next patch to be the make or break patch. It's worth waiting for before quitting on FFXIV. If you can't wait then it's ok, enjoy FFXI.

They scrapped pretty much the whole dev team and got a new team now re-working the game. If you are bored just wait until the changes are done, may still be a long while though so don't expect anything quick.

[Xatsh]

your call but quitting right before the release of first of several big content patchs seems a little foolish doesn't it... considering that is your main complaint about the game atm.

um correct me if i am mistaken all i was informed of was a little restructuring of positions of the teams including yoshi/tanaka change. between that and the addition of many more people into the group this game should be going more fluidly than it is.

if FFXI was f2p I would sooooo play it.

From what I heard the whole previous dev team was kicked out for a new team, not just 2 people. And I don't know if they added additional people or just replaced the old people with a new team.

[ClashBlades]

yes, key people from the previous team were removed.
