One of the issues with FFXIV...

if i want to run around shooting in an amercain style war game, i will join the army. a game can be what ever you want, you are not bound by reality. i guess what this really shows is a lack of imagination on behalf of western developers. the day i walk into games shop to only have a choice shooting or football, is the day i put my console in the attic.

That's not really the devs' fault as much as it is the customers' fault. Realistic war games sell well because everyone is enamored with the idea of war or being a soldier, but doesn't want to actually go to a battlefield.

Make more noise for cool games, and give your support to the devs that make cool games. I've been buying indie games like an idiot lately, because they're fun and they move away from the same tired formulas big-name devs are following for their flagship titles.

Indeed, I've been snatching up every anime game that comes out on the 360 hoping that my small contribution can work with others to promote more anime games for xbox.

It's a useless dream I know, but I can only hope ; ;

Though since I have a job now I could just... like... buy a PS3 and that'll solve all the problems...
