China is getting wings

[Thunda_Cat_SMASH]

These wings? No thank you. I'd rather not have a cluster**** like some of those other mmos. Surprisingly, being able to see where I'm going is more enjoyable than stumbling around blinded by the feathers.

I believe that this is from a Dead Fantasy video made by Monty Oum and not from a game.

Yup that is true ^^

However she did sprout wings for her lb:

Come at me mog station.

To most Chinese players, this game is like another Korean mmo/wow clone, characters are pretty,
they think the overall quality is average,
some people stay ,some people leave & go play the next "fotm" Korean mmo

To chinese FFXI players, this game is just a wow clone, game is too simple/shallow , Yoshida had gone too far, it's hopeless now,
most of them (I think 80-90%) had quit, ( SE has lost many FF/FFXI fans because FFXIV2.0/3.0)
just like here, no difference

You got citations for all them numbers buddy?

As far as I can tell, a lot of these players actually can't point a good reason as to why this should be in the game.

I can be condescending, closed minded, and dismissive to!



Which is reason for it to actually show up in game! Seeing as we're about to be assaulting a Garlean controlled state, coming across that tech is a distinct possibility. Logic and lore dictation... imagine that!

And having Hellish Gear (Lore Tomes) with wings on the backs and side are ok even though there's no backstory of eorzeans with wings? Ever thought "oh, nice design." because that's all it is, a design of the gear.

And here's some good reasons: Cosmetic, Options, Role Playing

So while we're on the topic of why lore is still an invalid reason. How about using Primal Summons to defeat our enemies? Last I checked someone dismissed that idea even though we know Lady Iceheart defended us turning into Shiva. So why is this idea any different than Garlean Gunblades?

I believe that this is from a Dead Fantasy video made by Monty Oum and not from a game.

It is, Iromi clarified my point for me though.

Exactly why they shouldn't. So that the rest of us don't have to deal with the horror.

Don't worry like every other Flavor of the month item in mogstation players will wear it for a day and then let it sit in their retainers.
See Bennu's and the new chinese outfit.

A FFXI/FFXIV 1.x player told me that he bought 4 copies of FFXIV ARR (because ffxiv 1.2x was fun, it gave us the hope that FFXIV ARR will be even better)
& give them to his FFXI buddies, after 1-2 months, all of them had quit.
(they don't like WOW, I was a WOW player, after I tried FFXIV 1.2x, I realized that SE is a better MMO company than Blizzard, WOW is just McDonald's IMO)

My previous FFXIV FC ,most members were FFXI players, it's one of the largest FFXI/FFXIV guild in China ,
Now ,the FC leader & many FFXI/FFXIV 1.2x members had quit

My second FC, it was the largest Taiwan FFXIV guild in Aegis, we had a lot of fun during FFXIV 1.2x,
I met some best mmo friends there, we helped each other to do the job quests, teamed up for exp, we played together everyday,
& I met some interesting English players too, very good memories, the community is the best I've ever seen in a MMO

Now, both FC are dead, no one talks in FC channel,
FFXIV is a MMO, a "massive multi player" game, but why it makes people feel lonely, feels like playing a single player game?
Sometimes I ask myself, why I keep playing this? for tomes or glamour? no, I miss the old days, I hope I can have some fun with my FC mates again, and meet some new friends in this game, I know I am not the only one feeling this way.

SE marketing and corporate are trolling so hard now, the precedent has been set by the reaction to the China dresses. SE will leak/give a certain item to the China region, people over in NA will complain and say "we'll pay whatever X to get it please release in NA!" Then, SE goes "oh well I guess we have to release Y item from China to NA at some Z markup price!"

And corporate goes:

Really? FFXIV will suddenly become F2P and garbage if they add a piece of glamour that has wings....I mean from the screenshot we have I don't think they look all that great either and I kinda don't care if they add it (I want the bardings though), but this is a ridiculous argument. To me your example is terrible.

People channeled their WoW hatred to F2P hatred now.

This guy nailed it a few days ago, people feel like they are superior because they pay a sub and any game that doesn't charge for a sub is automatically bad or inferior

the misplaced and faulty arrogance of people who play a mandatory sub-only game is astounding. (My game forces me to pay an additional subscription just to access the game that I paid 60 dollars for, and that makes me better than you.)

I've been playing MMOs since the 90s, and I've experienced every payment model there is.

the notion that a game having a mandatory (or you can't play the game that you paid for already)Subscription automatically makes it better than a game that doesn't is absurd.
