Simplicity over complexity, time to change.

The best way to make our point across, is to stop playing XIV. As long as subscriptions are adequate, they wont change anything. But I think it is too late to change the core game anyhow. They can add more jobs and gear and more dodging mechanics but the game still sucks because the battle system is fluffy and the game is instanced too much.

This game will have a shorter lifespan than XI did.

Since MMOs take many years to make, for us who liked XI, I think it is time to say goodbye to MMORPGs and get on with our lives while the casuals have fun playing a game that is built on redundancy.

Exactly.

Though Yoshi himself stated that "a complaint is worth 1000x more than a compliment" and also that the worst thing for an MMO developer is to have players leave without saying a word. (we know the devs read the forums and/or get reports on it)

So make it known WHY you are leaving when you do. It may change things for this game, or it may even influence the next FF MMO.

It wont matter why because they know why people leave the game. Anyone who hates WoW combat leaves the game.

1, Remove ilvl and let players decide on their builds using the stats

2, Make certain high level open world areas dangerous to level 50s

[Blackheart]

dangerous open world and more customization...yes

Omg all you ppl that played FFXI and the 1.0 version do is complaint, if you like FFXI so much go play it. Just stop the Bitching, it's always the same story with " FFXI was so much better", or" 1.0 was so much better". This game is a sucess, 1.0 wasn't, it failed hard. I wish something were different, like the maps weren't so intanced with a bunch of loading screens, I wish it had some sandbox elements. But do I come here on the forums to make a new post about it everyday? No! Enjoy the game for what it is or pack your stuff and leave.

Games are supposed to be fun. Want challenging? Go do a math problem or study Physics.

For me I like the story and lore but the progression in the game is getting stale fast espically on the gear front for me personnelly find myself logging in less and less like to see more done, but the way its going know most likely unsub and just move on with another game.

It's always funny how people mention someone wanting something similar as turning this into an 'XI-2' when YoshiP himself said he wanted to make a WoW 'clone' for the Japanese audience and it wasn't even that much of one since the borrowed features WoW still does better. Then again, people said it's better that this is a WoW clone.

Since you know, we needed more of those after 8 years+ worth of WoW clones xD

Lots of people that didnt play either complain more, by the way.

Dark Souls series seems to be doing well, huh. Dat logic shattering.

Ah yes, the design choices that had WoW lose 5mil subs since going the themepark route (Wrath and Beyond). That's 2.5x the population of FFXIV! Strange how the main subscription gain was when WoW was still an "old school" MMO back in Vanilla and TBC. But that's "outdated" I guess.

Mmmm... Does L1 on the same graph too had wrath and beyond at its 6th year? Or maybe FF11? Why it's only WoW that suffer from wrath, and others just start to fall by themselves at 5-7 years?
You know, games becomes old, and 7 years is already a lot to get tired from particular MMO. WoW doesn't had very good graphics from the start and now it's just look archaic, and no flashy effects help it. Like - WoW? Again? No, thanks.
