What is happening with FFXIV?

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.

Unlike the OP's post i have a little difficulty understanding what you just wrote. Care to enlighten me?

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.

Anyway, I don't really understand this whole debate on crafting. Making a item require more mats or less mats doesn't actually make crafting any easier or harder. Maybe 5% of people (random number guess right there ) actually go out and farm all the mats to make the gear they want, the rest just buy them from market wards. Well that's what I do at least... so it doesn't make it "harder" to have more mats just more things to buy and more time / money to use lol.

yeah, shouldn't take rocket science to see how 100% hq rates by standard bashing a synth is easier than using abilities, touch ups, bold synthesis, and waiting when needed.......

when i make an item i either craft the parts myself or farm them myself. when i want to make a piece of finished gear for myself i always use all hq items at least +1. there's no way i am going to spend the outrageous prices for hq parts from the wards on my server. 500k for a iron rivet hq? no thank you. if i want a piece of hq gear i do my own gathering and craft up the items i need.

The difficult would be to get all mats in HQ for your 100% craft. I think SE would reduce the chance to get HQ mats. And forget your +1 mats, they would be NQ in the time.

yes, i can see how getting a hq r12 iron ingot will be more difficult than getting r50 iron greaves as a r50 armorer. that doesn't even begin to make any logical sense.

no, you can say forget hq mats all you wish, but hq now means i collected to get hq mats. just because part of the hq now won't be then is irrelevant. if i was willing to take the time to get them then means i would take the time to do so afterwards.
