FFXI-2 is on it's way!

[TypeZ]

and it's called FFXIV....

I'm done with this game. Yoshi-p and his buddies either have no clue of what they're doing or they just caved in to to all the FFXI whinners who keep begging for a clone. And well they have it.

The game was playable before 1.19. I had lots of good times, with friends and SOLO.
Now i'm doing 24 dmg everytime i hit? WTF? First they tell me it's because of old gear... fine i upgrade... guess what? Not much of a difference.

SOLO in this game is dead and with this latest patch they put the last nail in the coffin for casuals.

Other failed MMO managed to fix themselves over time with patches but SE just shot themselves in the foot with every new patch they put out.

If i wanted to have 10 of my friends help me kill a mob 2 levels above my own i would go play FFXI and not play another game pretending to be something it's not.

Too bad i really had high hopes for this and was willing to be understanding when they say we should try and get used to the new gameplay but this is ridiculous...

pLEASE LEAVE AND DON'T COME BACK. LEAVE THE FORUM TOO. THANK YOU.

I've been complaining about the shift to FFXI-2 ever since the auto-attack announcement.

I wasn't wrong.

It's continuing to turn into a clone with every single patch. Unique features of FFXIV are being removed and it's being converted into what it's like in FFXI.

I logged on after 1.19 for 10 minutes. I haven't been on since.

The game is ruined for me, and I really have been wanting to love it ever since I first played in closed beta. What a goddamn shame.

Why do you guys have a fetish on being unique. Yes FFXIV tried to be unique, but they FAILED. Is that so hard to understand? The game was a mess (still is a mess). They are trying to fix it and they are going to pull it off by the looks of it, but they HAVE to let go some of the uniqueness to achieve that. Stop burying your head in the sand and face it.

Really...

I didn't bother to read more then the first sentence of the OP, but I'm guessing they're crying because this game is "becoming to much like FFXI"...

Really? Left and right I hear either "This games becoming to much like WoW" or "This games becoming to much like FFXI!" FFXIV isn't becoming like anything. Final Fantasy 14, is a game that's based off the Final Fantasy world, so of course they are going to consider adding things such as CLASSIC Final Fantasy jobs (these jobs were in place before 11).

They are trying to make FFXIV into a good game, and adding elements from some popular games that have been working (just because they are adding a non-server specific party search, everyone thinks the sky is falling and calling this game a WoW clone) .

Short little rant, I'm done, just annoying reading this stuff all the time.

<sarcasm>"They actually implemented the changes to combat that they have been talking about for months and now I can't kill things 12 levels higher than me because I don't understand what those changes were or why they were made. I QUIT!!!!!!"</sarcasm>

See ya, OP!!!

[BONKERS]

Solo'ing is harder now for certain classes/playstyles. Not impossible. But especially at lower levels it is very harder where all of your dmg/hp/everything has been cut to a fraction of what it was. Where as higher levels are better off now eh?

Crafting at low levels i've noticed is especially much more of a chore now.

FFXI-2. I want it.

i said 2 level not 12. and yes i should be able to kill stuff higher then me, maybe not 10lvl+ but mobs that are 5 lvl above my own should be difficult and challenging but not impossible. Hell as a tank i should be able to take on 2 mobs with 5 lvl above me and still finish the fight with 30-20% of my hp left.

I guarantee you that following this post I'll be trolled by a bunch of elitists ignorant of quality of a great game, or those who simply do so for the sake of it (Jaded dissenters or degenerates, take your pick), so for those who seek to incite such idle banter: I say fuck yourselves.

Do I need to point out the contradiction here? Or how silly this is? Of course you can guarantee it because you yourself are trying to incite said "idle banter".

I think everyone needs to stop bitching tbh, because the revamp looks AMAZING and more than I was expecting from the Final Fantasy XIV team. I had no idea any of this was going on behind the scenes and I'm just in awe.

I am also SO happy to hear that seamless areas are being abolished. I'd prefer more compact, dynamic, themed zones over huge spaces of nothingness any day - or you know, there's a tree, there's a tree, there's a rock, there's a valley, there's a rock, there's a tree... Do I care about this? No. Zone changes will never become out-dated. I mean, can you imagine something like Mass Effect 2 without zone changes? I don't want to even think about that.

SE has lost a whole load of money with this game. You can't honestly expect them to not change the game entirely. The whole game has been one of the biggest embarrassments Square Enix has ever had to deal with. Anyone who doesn't like it can leave the game frankly, if you're simply refusing to accept that the game needs to change so SE can actually make some money for the game you're playing for free.

Good on you Square Enix!

P.S. Every ****ing MMO has auto-attack, get over it.
