My FC is going back to FFXI... FFXIV FAIL

[Truefaith87]

So instead of starting "fresh" on a "new game" you all decide to carry over 1.0 where (potentially) 3/4 of the process of the game, namely leveling, is already completed for you, then proceed to complain about a games content being trivial for you, when you're attempting to compare a game that's not even 6 months old yet to one that has had 11 years to hash out its problems? I played 11 at launch, before even zilart came out, and loved it to death. But at the same time it was plagued with many, many, MANY issues at launch as well. I understand having a devotion and feeling to a game you've potentially played for nearly a decade, but the sad truth is time does move on for everyone, and the dev team of 11 isn't the dev team for 14, meaning they will in no way be the same game. Wether you all will come back when 2.2 drops is off the grid really, but why abandon something just because you have more time to dedicate to it than other games? Make oddball pty setups for runs, for example. MY FC has made a habit of running every dungeon up to praetorium (so far, CT is next!) with NOTHING but 4 or 8 ACN classes and see how things go, and to this day its been stupidly fun to do so!

1. gearing up is too easy (phil, myth, etc.)
2. horrible economy
3. leveling up is too easy
4. the job/class system is a joke
5. you only need to play 2 days a week to get everything accomplished.
6. PvP wtf?
7. ...oh wait didnt I say a few? my bad I'll stop now lol

1. XI is now the same way. Can fully gear in almost no time.
2. Nothing different here. Solo Dynamis and make 2M gil/day and buy everything.
3. You can get from 1-99 in literally 12 hours, maybe less, by AFKing.
4. This one I can't argue per se, but have fun being ANYTHING/DNC because that's all everyone is.
5. I went back and got level 99 + gear in 4 days.
6. While I enjoyed XI PvP, I don't even know if anyone does it anymore at this point.

The point is, you are going to find XI is now very similar to what this game is.
And frequent patches? You mean that expansion that just came out after 5
years? I played XI for 7 years. Don't get me wrong, the level 75 cap glory days
still stand as my all time favorite MMO time ever, the game was brilliant.

But XI is pretty much all but dead now, and it's incredibly Hello Kitty easy and
takes no time to get anything done anymore. You can literally solo the entire
game as BST/Anything or Anything/DNC.

Basically you:

Solo to level 15 > Gusgen Mines lolalliancesmashkeyboard to 30 > Abyssea AFK until 99 while getting the equivalent of
tomes in XIV more lolalliancesmashkeyboard > Buy full set of 99 gear > Solo all end-game content.

It's sad, but that's how it is now. Dynamis? Solo. Sky, Sea, Limbus? Solo. This item costs 10M? Np, can make that
in 3-4 days. I hate that this is what XI turned into.

And just so nobody says "Lol you prolly didn't even play and you are making it up" here's my ffxiah:

I accomplished all that in 3 weeks playing casual.

Anyone that thinks this game is easy obviously have'nt Duty Find hard content.

Liquor comes in plastic bottles?

Eh? Have you even seen a 40 bottle?

Someone needs to do Edward 40 Hands.

These casuals don't even know what Old E looks like

We all pretty much have a good idea of why FFXIV has failed. To list a few:

1. gearing up is too easy (phil, myth, etc.)
2. horrible economy
3. leveling up is too easy
4. the job/class system is a joke
5. you only need to play 2 days a week to get everything accomplished.
6. PvP wtf?
7. ...oh wait didnt I say a few? my bad I'll stop now lol

So because the game fails to meet your expectations, the game is definitely a failure. XI is outdated. The system is outdated. Face it. I respect people who still play the game, and yes I'm aware that they update the game frequently (I've been keeping up to the things they've done to it). MMOs in general have changed, and if you think that something different from XI is a failure, you're biased beyond reasoning. But don't call this game a failure just because it has a faster pace. XI has its fan base, and XIV has its own.

You're just as pathetic as anyone storming into the XI forums and yelling "WoW IS BETTER! STOP PLAYING THIS AND COME PLAY A TRUE MMO."

that doesn't mean the game is hard. it just means duty finder players are really bad.
