What is happening with FFXIV?

[Verecund]

Believe it or not, "leveling" is not the only means of gauging difficulty (not to mention it generally makes for a horrible measure of real skill as well).

WoW is successful because it is fun to play and has actual 'content' for all ranges of playstyles (even hardcore). This game, currently, can barely appeal to even FFXI's specific niche audience, and even then only in terms of party-play being vastly optimal for leveling. There's alot more wrong with this game than just "It is/isn't FFXI-2".

realism and fun almost NEVER can be together.

thats why games are fake. thats why we are fighting monsters in FF14 and not obesity like many people are in real life. because its fun.. not real. once people get that they they will start to have fun.....

I actually want to make OJ the "logical" way, not with a pan

HOW DOES I MAKE OJ?

[Stockapotapoulos]

Maybe have different secondaries? In additional to the knives, we can have spatulas, cups, and oh yes, juice squeezers for OJ.

At first I was like "Oh hey, it's THIS thread again." But very soon I began to see the true shape of the thread. And I was like "What did I just read?! I feel like i just turned into a poptart and pooped out a rainbow!" But I totally see where the OP is coming from. A field of dreams. Dreams and a lot of hallucinogenic mushrooms.

At least it was a mildly happy post about relating this game to our everyday lives, and there was even a petition for more feathers, which is naturally relevant to my interests. I tire of all the angry rants. More posts like this would be fun to gather together and read via Kindle by candle light. In a log cabin. With my bestest fishing buddy.

You made sense of this?:

I decided to play FFXI for 6 or 7 years because it was a Japanes RPG game with MMO included, I Thought that this game would be something similar, but step by step is moving away far from this.

I believe that Naoki Yoshida will save this game. And I like they have feedback, but just because people cry, should not change everything in the game.

And starting from the beginning, Is this a different game from FFXI, or is like to many said, FFXI-2?

Maybe this game became WoW-II and developed by Square-Enix. I hope not.



Or maybe, just maybe, is not what the game is turning, maybe is the way we live our lives... Faster.

I beg of you, please enlighten me. I just saw a lot of poorly phrased, contradictory generalisms, but which ended on a beautifully inspirational note. What did you take away from it?

I played FFXI for, how I wrote, because it was an RPG Japanese MMO.
When I discovered the crafting system and stuff, I really liked the way the game took. I never saw a game where you "make" something with a complex recipie was so funny.
And when I start to play this game, I expected something like the give us at start.
The way that SE decide to simplify recipes I really like. What I don't like is that if they decide to take away an item important in graphics.

I'm just waiting to see what this game become, like to many people.

Just hope that SE made a really (other) enjoyable game.

Wow the OP was so touching it made me tear up a bit.
