Donations?

Wall-mart is not selling copies. It's a shame that they don't want to gamble with games other than Wow. =(

Yeh sorry Rinoa, i did a booboo and quoted the wrong person.

[Rinoa]

Eugenics, actually i probably messed up. I keep jumping from thread to thread and I'm forgetting who said what.=)

I at least wouldnt mind start paying a monthly fee as of today. The game has given me alot of fun in the 2,5 months ive been playing so far. Sure the game isnt perfect, but even WOW isnt perfect either. It also has a lot of bugs, pve/pvp class balance issues, lack of world immersion and player intercation. And it has had 7 years to finetune the game and yet its not perfect.

But I am pretty sure once Yoshi-P and his team gets enough time and support from us as players instead of hammering em with this and that suck posts on Forums. Imagine if you yourself was at work and even after doing the best you could, your customer said your service sucked. If you hear that enough, it could eventually break your spirit. I know I wouldnt like my job if the only feedback I got was all negative.

I also wouldnt mind donating money to SE, but I have done what others have already mentioned and bought about 8 extra copies of the game and handed it to people I know who plays WOW, in hopes they will come join me on my server someday ^^

To SquareEnix and Yoshi-P Devteam. Thank you so much for Final Fantasy 14.

Sincerely

u people are just crazy, this game ain't worth paying for now any more then it was a year ago. people who think yoshi is doing anything more then giving as many people a little something that will make them say ok i'll pay some monthly are diluting themselves.

everything that was making this game great got removed, everything that needs to be added hasn't yet. i think some of u's just enjoy handing your money away to people. i guess u used to paying monthly for aol chat or something.

this game is not ready to charge. ...b4 they say we want your money even if it's not in the game yet, we need a time line of what is being added, specially endgame wise if it not gonna be there b4 payments are asked for. i won't pay a penny till i see another list of guarantee things that are on it's way that is worth paying monthly for. all mmo's you know what u'r getting for most part by time they launch. this game needs to be the same, it already bad enough that many of us feel like we are being dragged on playing without a real inkling if endgame will be worth playing.

Weeble. the first sentance of the second paragraph, I agree (to an extent) with that.

[Altera]

I am pretty new to this game, so could the ones whos played since launch etc please write down the things Weeble says was removed from the game, that made this game great?

And WOW and Blizzard is just the same as to not letting people know if Endgame content is worth playing. I feel WoW has a lot of issues as well. The game has no endgame content except Raid or PVP, not much you can do if you just wanna do solo stuff. Class balancing is a constant rollercoaster of highs and lows.
Thanks to Random Dungeon Finder and upcoming Raid Finder, the interaction between players on the Server you are diminisces by alot, since all you do is click I, select role, Heal/Tank/DD and sit in Stormwind until RDF has found 4 other players and instantly portals you inside the dungeon. Leveling new characters is so fast that you end up skipping past several maps since you are so high leveled you gain very little from questing.
In my opinion, WOW shouldnt be Pay to Play.

And I know I am comparing FFXIV vs WOW when they arent similar, but its just because majority of people call WOW the most finely tuned MMO on the market. Which I dont find true personally. I am having much more fun playing FFXIV then when I played WoW for 6 years. I kinda wish today I rather picked up FFXI instead of WoW.

If people hate FFXIV as much as I see many people write here on forums, why dont you do the same as what I did with WoW and find another game that is more suiting for you?

Altera, the main thing that i will miss is when a Dodo would follow you. It was just a simple aspect of the game that made it more real. I will also miss the stamina bar/ crafting UI/Physical Levels (those are going away right?). But the game will probably be ok without them(except for the enemies following you). I've only been playing since January(1.15) So you don't have to take my input if i haven't been playing long enough. =)

[weeble]

also we had 15man grind parties(could of done with less too but you could and was fun and worth doing), the battle system was made so if u afk in group no sp ..aka pl's an duel boxing was done away with. only way to be cheap bout ranking was if you botted.

what rinoa mentions too i like the animals following people, i also liked the stamina and no auto attack, though i did think it needed huuuge fixing too. but i would of liked the direction it was at if fixed too. it in general felt like it was going in a great direction for players like me when it first came out. i don't solo nor ever really want to, least not in a game that had 15man groups in it, for that we can all go to upcoming mmo's that will be packed with content and a game made for pvp not a game that is adding it cause they know there are moving in a direction that they have to add it. /etc /etc.

[Altera]

By animals following you, as in after you started attacking them or just out of curiosity cause you smell nice cause of the Pixie Plums in your pocket^^

Even if is was because you started hitting it, and you are about to die so you run away. Even I in real life wouldnt bother chasing after someone for eternity. And I can kinda see a small downer about loosing physical rank, but its not going to break the game for me. If the new system works out better then we think, then I probably would stop missing it.

But who knows what will be released down the line. Maybe an updated version, who knows. All I know after playing WOW for 6 years, is that developers are very tightlipped when it comes to updates/changes. And what I hated about WOW mostly was that my class could be capable to deal as much dmg as then next class if played properly, but then nerfed bigtime due to whiners doing PVP and I either had to reroll and level a whole new class just to maintain a position in the raiding guild.
Heck you even had to select the best 2 crafting professions on your main character due to heavy Min/Maxing, and if you wanted to do all professions available, it would take about 3-5 alts, all leveled to 85 to do have access to every professions.

I dont think personally there is any other MMO out on the market that gives me such a complete fun experience overall.
Well, im gonna log back into the game and do some NM hunting^^ Have fun all and stop worrying too much about things that isnt set in concrete yet
