We need more information.

Title says it all. Square Enix have been playing their cards too closely to their chest regarding FFXIV, and we need to know more about the planned content - Grand Companies, Camp hubs, dungeons. Everything.

As it is now, giving us only one article about a given aspect of the game a week (or two a week) isn't enough. We need more engagement.

Do we really?

Haven't we proven that we like to be strung along for nothing?

These are the kinds of posts that got you banned the first time around aren't they?

As much as i'd like to see posts more often. (i check lodestone constantly) They really should be doing their jobs and not bothering to write us an article because we're needy.

i agree with him, i want the patch as soon as possible so SE should'nt waste time writing too many articles.

You say that like writing articles is difficult or time consuming. They could give a 16 year old school girl the password to the FFXIV twitter account and we'd get more info in a timely manner.

well they ve given a decent amount of information probably, but its scattered about, and, frankly they cant give away too much more info until they release something, the things i am most interested in hearing probably are still in a state of flux.

they probably dont have that much more information to give.

Wrong. Square Enix has been more transparent and more forward with their customers then any other MMO developer lately.

To be honest, I follow a lot of MMOs and SE doesn't seem that great by comparison. Just recently, ArenaNet released a whole article about their intentions and philosophy behind their in-game dungeons, with a lot of specifics.

SE is in the exact same position with FFXIV but all we get are a few tidbits of information with scarcely any design-philosophy to back up their choices. So I honestly don't believe they are more transparent. Other MMO developers seem more open to me.

But compared to how they were in FF11, they are getting better, that's for sure.

En Masse Entertainment has been FAR more open and forthcoming with me, directly I should add, regarding TERA Online, than Square Enix has been about FFXIV.

I wish they would be a little more clear on as to why it takes so long to implement everything... it kind've looks bad when you can only put out simple fixes and updates at an anemic rate when upcoming games are getting massive changes added while still in their betas ><

No kidding. I get a bit tired of the lack of communication. Yes, Square has been more communicative of late, but there is a distinct difference between just showing us bits and bobs of what they're working on, and actually ENGAGING the community with activities to help pass the time (and retaining a playerbase while you're at it!).
