Moment of Truth: How do you really feel

[Ilethius]

1. How do you feel about the patch frequency?
It is a slow output but I think they are still trying to sort the base code out and it is slowing things down (The crysta engine might have something to do with slow release too).

2. How do you feel about the changes themselves?
Some are good, some are bad, I think Yoshi has a clear vision but he seems to fail at getting that vision across to the playerbase, the updates are always cryptic and vague. I would like him to maybe give us something that helps explain what they are trying to create, they dont have to give future ideas away just let us know what the current path is and be honest about it, I want them to go into detail about the vision just not the specifics.

3. How do you feel this game will fair against current upcoming titles?
I think FF games always have there own niche market and as such cannot be compaired to other titles.

4. Do you think this game will ever exceed niche popularity?
I think the PS3 launch will obviously add new players but I cannot see it beating new next-gen mmo's in player numbers.

5. Do you think the changes are in the right or wrong direction?
I think its middle ground, some good, some bad, some indifferent, the issue is direction we dont know which way they will go which is problem in getting the playerbase behind your changes.

6. Do you think the they have focused on the most important things historically with patches or should the focus have been elsewhere?

I believe there focus was on fixing the core issues of the gameplay first which forced them to neglect coherent content so at the moment the released content seems cobbled together with not much thought put into it. I also think that simple changes like the linkshell admin tools should have been completed earlier as that seems to be a major pain for players in large linkshells.
