Simplicity over complexity, time to change.

Perhaps they shouldn't have tried to make [FFXI] easier casual friendly then.

^^This.^^

ffxiv 1.0 was designed to be a more realistic, challenging and complex game.

During this time, SE decided to transform FFXI into a more casual game in order to market each game to different groups.

So many left XI and migrated to 1.0 -- we were disappointed with its flaws but we stuck with it and began to see the game we were looking for in 1.23.

Then ARR happened and SE pulled the rug out from under us a second time.

I'm sure many of us would have been happy to stick with ffxi if they hadn't ruined it, but here we are now... Or here we were...

I personally recruited 7 other FFXI friends to play ARR at launch, but they have all since quit... As have many of those in my 1.23 and ARR early access friends list.

I tried holding out for good news about the future, but I haven't seen any. As a result, I have cancelled my sub as well.


SE has made a beautiful game in ARR, but it is so shallow and lacking in depth that it insults a person of even average intelligence if they should ever ask themselves: "Why should I bother trying to accomplish anything in this game?"
