A Word of Thanks to the FFXIV Development Team

[Jpn2k]

I would like to thank the development team for a good job so far. I really like this game a lot and it has so much potential. While this game is still being revamped, I really enjoy the solo content compared to that of FFXI. Here are some of the things I really like about Final Fantasy XIV:

1) The beautiful cut scenes and the soloability of quests and mini-quests. There seem to be a lot of complaints about the lack of difficulty, but these quests and mini-quests are helpful to beginners. I am sure there will be more endgame content and separate, more difficult quests for hardcore gamers. Therefore, I would like to ask the hardcore gamers to be patient with the development team.

2) Use of animas for teleportation. This makes soloing much easier, without requiring /shouts for WHMs like in FFXI. It also allows me to explore the world of Eorzea.

3) The good old faithful guildeves, I can always do them when I log on, just like Mr. Yoshida says.

4) I love the Journal system. The next steps are clear and to the point. Unlike FFXI, where you have to go to external websites before you even know what the next step is for many of the quests and missions.

5) Behests are very fun and relaxing.

6) This game is different from FFXI. I don't have to stand for a long time without ever getting an invite before I have to log off. I can enjoy gaining experience points with different classes/jobs more. This is unlike FFXI, where it's hard to get parties if you don't have one of the popular jobs.

Sorry for the recent disasters in Japan. I hope the development team keeps up the great work and I look forward to more in-game contents.

this must be your first mmo.

I agree the first impression is a pleasant one.

I like that stuff too.

Get stuffed.

[Malakhim]

I like that stuff too.



Get stuffed.

100% on both points.

"People are stupid for liking things I don't like." Seriously, what are you? a 14-year-old goth?

It's fine if you think there's shit wrong with the game, and I don't think many people would argue that there isn't anything wrong(that's why the game is essentially back to beta), but seriously, hating on people for liking stuff was in vogue during the height of boy band popularity.

I second the "get stuffed" motion.

Well, I'm playing it for almost 4 months and I too really like it

And I find so much to do there. >.<"
Currently I'm doing class quests

When I'm not ranking up to do class quests, I'm doing local leves to rank up my synthesis jobs, partying with some friends doing leves, or even exploring and getting to gates I haven't been still. And also side-quests now ;P

I know there's a lot missing, and not a lot of content when you've done every quest BUT I love its feeling, I love the community, love the world and graphics, and the potencial it has to be an awesome awesome game.

It just needs chocobos to turn everything around XD

I was a Closed beta tester and the Dev team has really been taking steps in the right direction of the development of this game. Good post OP! I can't wait to see where this game will be in the next 6 months, seeing how far it's come in the first almost 6 months.

I've been playing since launch (with a 2 month break throw in the middle) and I still enjoy the crap out of this game. Ever since I came back I've enjoyed the game a great deal more than at launch. It's a good game now and getting better with every update.

The game definitely isn't for everyone and I think we should all admit that. For those who do enjoy it though, we want to see it grow and succeed. I'll never for the life of me understand the people who dislike/hate the game and come on here and post/troll. If you don't like the game it's clearly not for you, go find something you do like and leave the rest of us alone lol.

Okay, I've been playing since january + 1 month in beta ;P

Well, I like to play a little everyday, but sometimes I can't because of my master's thesis Q.Q
I just don't like to grind and grind and grind. I have fun in the game with my friends, even just hanging around. I'm not in a rush ;P So yeah, I don't spend too much time just ranking up.
