Instanced Raids Unveiled!

[Scherwiz]

I think SE should drop everything right now and make a cookie guild, and not just in XIV, in every SE remake and upcoming title. In XIV it can be in the middle of Coerthas. In a possible VII remake they can put it next to the mako monsters in the mako reactor on Mount Nibel, and in Tomb Raider Lara has to establish a running cookie guild to cater to natives, or die.

Not untrue, SE released a statement to share holders stating that they have had severe losses and will continue to do so if they don't show stronger support for console games and garner revenue for "certain online services" So much that they also demanded each of the companies they own create at least 1 new IP in the next year. As for being constructive. This specific forum "General Discussion" is not for that. It is simply for us to discuss things. Any constructive feedback I have goes in the correct forum for it. Just as I did during closed beta testing.

There is a difference between the losses they are posting from their PROFITS and a company that is close to bankruptcy, and that is what makes your statement untrue. The company is not close to going bankrupt, and definitely not directly just because of FFXIV.

I'm sure someone brought this up somewhere but...time limits and minimum party requirements? Really? Come on, SE... I might as well place my bets that you'd only be able to enter these areas one time per earth day.

I was hoping you would have learned your lesson about meaningless limitations by now. There had better be a REALLY good reason why these are being implemented.

*Sigh* 17 pages and you really thought you were the first person in to say this?

Continued projection of loss of profits will make them...richer?

Did I say that it would? I love how people who are wrong in what they say try to twist the words of anyone that doesn't agree with them. I will say it again, "There is a difference between the losses they are posting from their PROFITS and a company that is close to bankruptcy."

Profits are defined by money earned in EXCESS of all other costs that company has incurred. The fact that they are posting a profit means by definition that they aren't all that close to bankruptcy because they are earning enough to cover their costs and still have some profit to show for it. Not to mention that they have enough to cover the .8 BILLION yen they incurred directly as a result to the earthquakes and tsunamis.

If you spout baseless and false 'facts' then expect to be called on them.

Yes, I'm sure the first eight words I wrote suggest that.

It is hard to tell much without actually playing them, but hopefully these new dungeons will be fun. I am happy to see one in Coerthas, since it is a lovely but little-used area. And is that finally a THM weapon higher than R44 that I spy? Hopefully there will be plenty of nice gear to work at getting. At this point I don't really care if they are re-skins, since its not as though we already have a ton of the same high rank gear in different colors (vintage robe, I'm looking at you).

Though I really wonder where exactly the entrance to the R25 dungeon is, I hope it has been placed with careful consideration. I've been to Silent Arbor a couple times and ran into lots of R50-ish mobs that aggro.

The SE bashing isn't just in the forums and it;s not JUST because of FFXIV. It is in every major gaming medium. Since the merger anything not Dragon Quest has been a flop with the exception of remakes. This is a series of mistakes that have disenchanted people so it is not baseless saying that they will disappoint because they keep disappointing. As a major corporation they deserve no sympathy, they are in this to make money and they don't feel bad when they release something sub-par to us. I offer constructive non-emotional whiney feedback in the proper forums. but that doesn't we can't also voice disappointment/joy/concern of which I do.

Since the merger, everything not Dragon Quest, includes:

• Drakengard
• Drakengard 2
• Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles
• Final Fantasy XII
• Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift
• Front Mission 4
• Grandia III
• Kingdom Hearts II
• Nier
• Radiata Stories
• Romancing SaGa
• Star Ocean: Till the End of Time
• The Last Remnant
• The World Ends With You
• Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria

For starters. That's a lot of games that aren't Dragon Quest and didn't flop.

Sounds to me like someone's judgement is biased by emotion.
