    Don't matter how beautiful the game is if they gameplay is crap, which is part of the reason 1.0 failed.

    It's like 70% of the reason, since the graphics were excellent (except too taxing on contemporary machines and damned impossible for the PS3) the sound was...final fantasy, and the story was pretty good for an MMO.
    Bad management and gameplay were the ONLY things they really fudged up on. And they fudged up HARD

    Back in what some of the people here misguidedly call the "good ol' days", it was possible for BLMs with overmelded equipment to entirely bypass the second phase of Garuda by having 8 BLMs kill her before the phase transition. Yoshida admitted and recognized this oversight and asked people to not stack BLMs and spam Thunder on her to kill her before the phase transition while the devs worked out a solution. The players ignored Yoshida.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
    Red Mage - COMPLETE (https://tinyurl.com/y6tsbnjh), Chemist - Second Pass (https://tinyurl.com/ssuog88), Thief - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/vdjpkoa), Rune Fencer - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/y3fomdp2)

    People blm burned the boss killed it before it could even astral flow or anything skipped alll the other phases. Later they patched it to always astral flow but that didn't really stop blm burns.

    Yeah 2.0 is totally free of things like this like the old Titan medica trick, or enrage Turn 2.

    This kind of stuff only ever happened in 1.0!

    because design oversights and bugs don't happen. Never. Every game except this one is completely free from exploits and bugs.
    Now if you'll excuse me, i have to fight Ruby Weapon in FFVII using my 99 megalixirs i got from the item duplication glitch.

    Well it was a fight entirely designed and implemented by the post Yoshida team after all.

I don't expect the graphics to ever get back to the old levels unless there's massive work and optimization going on.
