Thread: Version 2.0 Discussion

http://wdl.square-enix.com/ffxiv/dow...Outline_EN.pdf

I read through this first attachment and am just inspired by the work they are putting into this game. They have been simultaneously pushing out content for us (live) and rebuilding the game, server, UI, map, etc at the same time. I'm not sure there are many companies with that level of dedication. The server and UI have been complained about since release and just a few months after the development team took over they had a plan to fix it. You can't expect it to be easy to fix but they took the initiative nonetheless.

Version 2.0
1. A complete redesign of current repetitive maps. Each zone will be more dynamic and be UNIQUE. Unique alone gets me excited about this. No more repetitive landscapes. Granted the only zone I don't like is gridania but a good change either way.
2. The implementation of a new graphics engine. I already loved the game engine but when you look at page 7/15 it looks even better.
3. A new server system designed for increased speed and performance.
4. A fully renewed user interface
5. The expansion of in-game community content

This is just about everything people have been complaining about for the past year. I am just amazed by slide 7/15 the picture of a raid. Looks just amazing. I have so many more comments but my head is all over the place. Share your thoughts about the future of the game. Try to be civil.

Finally found the origianl discussion. I'll post this there since I can't delete this trhead.
