Anyone Else Feel Betrayed?

This game needs to make an overhaul of Cross-class systems, More depth to the story, as such mentioned in the OP where you discover ruins etc.... Needs a better limit break system per class, with their own TP meter, it should be able to link with other people's limit break.

This game will tank if it takes this generic MMO path, this is only good for the short attention spanned, and they will move on to next short attention MMO drug.

A serious overhal for certain aspect is needed, or i wil be sad to see FFXIV a final fantasy title die.

The problem is YP thought since people hated Tanaka's version(which was pretty incomplete) that they wanted a easy game. He thought wrong and it shows in the lack of logins.

Wonder how much population FFXIV will lose if all the XI players left. a pretty big chunk imo.

Nope. Not one bit. I played the Beta just like you and continue to play it for what it is, not what it isn't. I loved playing a game called Descent. I really loved it's spin-off, Descent Freespace. Then ~13 years later SWTOR comes out with starfighter missions that are very similar to Freespace. I was intrigued. Now they've released Starfighter PVP and it completely feels like Freespace with afterburners, missle locks, and 3D flying. They're even developing bombers, and I'm willing to give those a go. However, I don't feel betrayed that SWTOR Starfighter isn't like Descent FreeSpace. They're both 3D-sim games but they're completely separate. That's what FFXIV is, a game that is completely separate from FF XI. They have similiarities, but that's all. You knew what the game was going in, and the team has delivered what it wants to give to its playerbase. There is no betrayal. Disappointment, maybe, but not betrayal.

change parts of the songs to fit the company/person you felt that betrayed you.

And here's one from those feeling betrayed.

Played FFXI for years and years, and while I loved it, it wouldn't have a place nowadays.

Things change, memories are there for a reason. Can't repeat the past, remember it with a bit of nostalgia while you build your future through your present.

Ah, I sound so deep.

Before Abyssea came along and destroyed everything, there was a good 7+ years of content at all level ranges, not just endgame, and all of it was perfectly viable.

This is something I have never understood. I played FFXI since NA launch and after many years found myself in the revolving door of cancelling my sub every few months and coming back.

When Abyssea was released it hooked me and I played for a solid 2 years and really enjoyed it. Abyssea in a way saved that game and it brought a lot of old friends and players back into the fold.

That expansion alone is why Yoshi P landed the FFXIV gig to begin with.

You pretty much explained the players of this generation and their perspective of what "hard" is.

I think it was pretty foolish to have any expectations of what this game was going to be after a new Producer/Director got a hold of it.

I can tell you one thing: if this game was remade in old school FFXI's visage I would not be playing it. I simply just don't have the time anymore. I started playing 1.0 with the hopes that it was going to be a Final Fantasy MMO with some more modern conventions, but that game ended up being a jumbled mess. I only stayed with it, with numerous breaks in between content patches, simply because of the group of people I was playing with. If I were playing it solo I'm not so sure I would have even given this game a second look.

Yoshi-P has made this game to attract the largest amount of players as possible. It has many elements that are accessible to everyone while still maintaining some harder content to please those who always want to be on the cutting edge of things. 2.2 and onward is going to be the true testament to what this game as about because 2.1 was a catch up patch. Chances are if you don't like what 2.2 has to offer you're just simply not going to like the game.

Everything is pretty much handed to us from coffers or tokens, so there's no need for THF to even exist

Time to abandon the FFXI mindset that dictates that THF is a throwaway class whose sole purpose is to increase treasure drop rates. If it ever gets added to XIV, I expect it to actually be a viable DPS. Gimme some of that WoW Rogue action.

Sorry you didn't get the FFXI-2 you wanted, but the original FFXI is still up, y'know? Why not go play that.♪

[Hasseo]

Yaknow its not that everyone wanted FFXI its that we didnt want a wow... i dont feel like playing a ff game it feels like wow more than anything so yes its going to rub alot of ff people the wrong way. Not that i ddidnt play wow too but it wasnt and will never be as fun and exciting as FF to me and its that feel that alot of people want.
