Instanced Raids Unveiled!

[Sephr]

Yuck. World of Warcraft (I'm not up for it.) Different content, different names, different systems. Raids and dungeons can go to Hell.

More stupidity. FFXI had instances, dontcha-know.

I say bring on raid content in conjunction with lots of overworld content too, which is apparently exactly what Yoshida intends to do.

The issue with taking the servers down is that we did pay for the game. And tho many will say "we're still in beta", we aren't.
I still enjoy playing and would be VERY put off if they shut things down while they work. i realize that things are taking a while and this is turning people off but, to me, if you're not going to play, it should be voluntary. Many of us DO want to continue playing even if things are less than perfect.

No, that is not an issue...

....explain how paying for the game = right to play it AT ALL TIMES?

Perhaps he meant, "If the servers remain Live while we work on it, we will continue to work in incremental patches, if the servers were to be taken down for a time, we would add large scale content in larger chunks."

There isn't anything in the English or Japanese post that implies that.

I'm honestly not keeping my hopes up for anything they say until I see it in game. I'm not gonna stress over how awesome chocobos or airships are if we're gonna have to wait till december to have them.

/trollface to you.

If you don't wanna help the dev team; why are you posting here? ; ;
If you wanna whine about game's situation; why don't you stop playing? ; ;
if you wanna make us lost time; why are you becoming Bayohne's work harder? ; ;

People need to play more to form good ideas to the dev. team.
Troll don't help at all.

FFXI was NEVER dull enough to release cut and dry "raids and instances". You mean Assault? Einherjar? Nyzul Isle? Salvage? Each has its own set of systems, unique name, and unique theme. They aren't like wow crap.

Let's compare the year 2000 to the year 2666, you know, since we're comparing the future to what's already happened and all.

I think the fact that they even keep calling it "raids" and "dungeons" Like 90% of MMOs takes away from what we are used to in FFXI, unique names and rules.

When i hear "raid" i hear kill mobs til back room and kill boss...which is done in so many MMOs, its like a cliche.
