mmorpg's review

[Quisi]

mmorpg.com posted new review of FF XiV. Too bad they decided to post it just before 1.18 but then again I doubt this patch would help much. Most things he is complaining about aren't being addressed or it will take 3-4 more patches to fix.
click me.

Feel free to move this thread to other forum if it's not an appropriate place to post it.

don't care. I'm playing the game and I like it, I could give two shits what some reviewer thinks. Especially before the first major content patch.

10 months after launch...fair enough :P

Though I think they should've excluded the UI lag from the aesthetics section, raised its score, and given a lower score to longevity

[Betelgeuzah]

Certainly a valid score, but man they're dumb. Right before overhauls, 10 months after the official release... there is no more improper time to review an MMO.

Yeah right. 10months later, and theres still a broken system. whatever. Die hard I guess.
I cant wait for the "Golden patch" I expect a mediocre cut/paste dungeon, a few peices of equally lame gear. And some cheesy tank and spank boss fights. 3-4weeks of content at best.

10 months is plenty of time to get some stuff in play. Bottom line, this dev team is serously under staffed and it shows. Ive gotten more patches/content/hotfixes in 2 months of rift than my whole time on ffxiv combined.

Yeah its to bad that Rift isn't any different then all the other MMOs out there, you can have all the content in the world, but that doesn't make it fun for everyone.

Touche...


Rift is well rift, and it plays like pretty much everything else in the post 2004~era, and while it does a few things differently, and I'll agree they have a very good dev team that listens to the community and they pump out some great patches quickly. Still though XIV is an entirely different beast, and I applaud SE for doing things different, albeit it bit them in the ass since it was unfinished and its taking awhile to make it proper.

I lay the blame on Tanaka though for not listening to the community. Yoshi-P is doing an outstanding job, and is quite communicative and understanding.

Was it Tanaka or was he the fall guy?

Right over your head....ZOOOMM.
My counter was the the statement that 10 months isnt enough time for an MMO to get their junk fixed. I listed a noob mmo company that did that and more.

A noob MMO with extremely high financial backing that copied almost everything from many different MMOs, go Trion....Oh if Rift had a crap launch Im sure it would have failed and died but not trying anything new mixed with a lot of money kept that from happening.
