Too much ressources spent on useless stuff

[OptimalZedd]

Why we play a MMORPG ?

To play with other people in a RPG.

What is a RPG ? ( simple vision)


A game with a deep story, a world which makes you dream, a choice of gear (itemization) that makes you feel unique, and taking avantage of the stat system et skill system makes u feel really powerfull.

This feel of beeing a hero in a magical world is what makes a real RPG

What do we have now ?

a story that was pretty good but really short and we forget it after 2 weeks into the game

A gorgeous World, that is underexploited, with all those teleport/Duty Finder, no open world content, no feel of danger in that world

the itemization is bland, u just looking at one stat "iLV", yes sub stat can be exploited but lets be honest, its really oversimplified and almost no freedom. And everyone is a clone

the combat system is : u have your optimal rotation, and try to apply it in the environnement where you are fighting, which makes the way you re playing really repetitive

What kind of content they re adding ? Furniture, Minion

All those ressources spent to something useless for the immersion of the game

Why not spend those ressources on charismatic NPC with deep story, more monsters

Why having implemented Crafting/Gathering when the game direction is clearly not about using those item crafted

Why removing materia system of 1.23 which gave great freedom of customization

I dont feel this game is an RPG, its a petshop game ? an FPS Lobby RPG ?

the version 1.0 > 1.23 was an amazing transformation

currently 2.0 > 2.2 is nothing amazing, generic character, generic fights, generic patches, generic game

Im waiting SE starts to really work on the RPG core, and not waste ressources on fan service, service that makes people just nostalgic about previous wonderful games

FFXIV ARR is not carving his path

I like it, I can't seem to find the time to complete everything.

And 2 weeks? I really couldn't read much past that.

This is kind of your fault. You had the option of keeping your character and you did, which means in theory FFXIV has given you an absolute truckload of entertainment hours. The fact that you find 2.0 less entertaining is because you carried over those hours from 1.0. If you started fresh, you'd still have a lot to do. The amount of content in 2.0 is actually pretty good for a game released only in August. You just had a 1000+ hour head start.

My suggestion would be to unsub for a few months. Dabble in something else. Come back after 2.3. You'll probably be at a point where you have a lot more to do. Or, maybe make a new character and start from scratch? If neither of these options appeal to you, sorry, but you don't have any other options.

Welcome to the global standard, didn't you hear everyone else does it so it's perfectly fine to keep copying the same MMOs over and over and add nothing new, just learn to love Final Fantasy as fervently as I do.

im seriously thinking of leaving. Never like this kind of MMO. thats why i used to be a fans of FF mmo, because it wasnt like mainstream mmo. now Yoshi is just like every other bad Producer who think about money. this game is a Vanity game.

A game with a deep story, a world which makes you dream,

Tell that to the people that harasses others when watching Cutscenes for the first time.

I'm loving the game but Im optimistic and can agree with everything you said. Im also realistic in that the world don't revolve around me but I barely have time to do everthing Im still behind on alot this fits me very well. Also I'm on PS3 soon to be PS4 so there isn't alot of options in the first place. I do wish in the near future they add more open world content though, that would be #1 in my book.

What MMO has ever had a story that was worthwhile in the long run? SWTOR maybe? Sadly I hear it failed in most other regards, so it mattered little.

Overall though, story cannot support a MMO. You clear it, and you're done. Story is 'pure' content, and they cannot keep up with players in creating that, nor can they set long term goals related to the story, as the story is the one thing everyone should be able to see. MMO's require certain mechanics that will always make them MMO first and RPG second.

Further, 1.0 > 1.23 'had' to be a fantastic transformation... 1.0 was a complete failure in their regard, and it had to change. However, 2.0 has been an overall success for them, so moving toward 2.2 and beyond will be much of the same, while expanding into new things here and there. Nothing drastic has to happen anymore.

You may not like the style of the game, but it's moving along just fine. Once they're done filling out what we've got, we'll see new systems emerge.
