As a result of the recent announced changes to the leve system, I have concluded that this change was made specifically to cater to the console system audience. Why? Because console players in my view, have a different mentality than PC MMOers. Most people I personally know that play console games, don't sit down and play them for long periods of time. Couple of hours, couple of hours there. The changes to the system support a solocentric, login, have something to do, logout mentality. One where you never have to really "get involved" with the persistent world.

Its unfortunate.

I would love to see a FF MMO title developed solely with a PC MMO audience in mind. My guess is the end result would be a much better game.

Yes, because I didnt have 500 days of playtime out of 3 years on XI without bazaar time. Like many other PS2 and 360 users. Hmmmm.

They decided to change Levequest System to remove the kind of feeling that you can feel when miss a reset...
I want to rember you all that FFXI went out FIRST for PS2, and all of us know how it's ended.

You mean as one of the most profitable MMO in history?

FFXIV is an FF MMO devoted to a PC audience. Do we really need to go over the result of that little experiment?

The PS3 version is the only hope this game has of survival. Get used to it.

I was strictly console player til i played ffxi for PS2. And the only reason I got a PC was to play another game similar, which obviously never happened because most PC mmos are instant satisfaction WoW clones. I know many ffxi console players who got pcs to play this as well, so your logic fails. If someone spends over $1000 to play one game at launch its safe to say they are interested in playing long hours. But most of them quit because SE tried to appeal to the WoW crowd as well, which i should remind you is pc only.

how could game consoles still exist in this era?

They will die out very soon. Who needs those ugly, energy hungry, always outdated money burners when your TV or tablet provides you with streaming games...

uhhh well. let me offer a counter argument:

upgradeable console hardware.
the end.


really though, the company be it sony or mirosoft
(because well...Nintendo isn't really...yeah whatever)
who is able to provide a console that you can upgrade the cpu, memory, etc
would be the dominant power in gaming.
I like consoles, always have. Feel more in control.

Yes it'd be pretty much a computer but...who cares?
If you like consoles, you're still going to get one.
