SE should get what they never had

[Cairdeas]

Tanaka was probably not the person who said "We're releasing this day." it was most likely Wada. Surprisingly hes been really quiet since Tanaka stepped down from a full time producer job to just being a consultant/lowlevel exec at the company.

Given another year, Tanaka probably wouldn't have saved this game.

It's not time constraints that screwed FFXIV over, it was Tanaka.

SE should get what they never had... Servers in the US.

I agree with PennywisE and Kurai. The servers being down does not have any impact whatsoever on the rate at which SE can produce new content for the game.

I don't know why so many people keep thinking things would go faster if the servers were taken down. They wouldn't go faster at all. They would still go at the same rate they're going at now. We just wouldn't be able to see it.

Well I do not know as much about the creation of this game as some of you, and I have never heard of this working demo in 2005. This is what I do know, when the beta/alpha, whatever you want to call it came out players told the creators to wait unit there was more content before they released the game. They did not do this. I also know that the developers now are getting 4 hours at best twice a month to add content. I honestly believe that that is not enough. I am sorry so many of you didn’t like my post but rather than complaining about how bad this game is I would rather them spend time fixing it, instead of making sure we get our gladiator from lvl 30 to lvl 40. I want a complete game. If you read these forums they are littered with great ideas. Barber shops, map notes, new races, and company system ideas. I like this stuff and it makes me sad that the best response people have is "good post but SE has bigger things to worry about." I disagree, this is the content we need and I would rather not wait till 2012 to get it.

Content is great and all but they need to get the mechanics of the game dealt with more.. One being combat. It's ok but needs work. Some of the chat channels like /tell needs some work. Get the mechanics working better mainly and yes tiny bits here and there of content.

Once the mechanics are taken care of and more fluid then hammer out content. It might suck for you to not get what you want. They should bring the servers up when they can and continue doing what they can to get things designed, adjusted, etc and out. love it or leave it.

It was called rapture back then.

I would rather keep playing now than wait 6 months. No one is forcing anyone to play, if you wanna take a 6 month leave thats up to you but i know me and my LS want to keep playing. Of course I do support SE taking all the time they need getting the servers back up with respect to the crisis in Japan rite now.

You should never ride on the success of one game to sell another. Sadly, that seems to have happened to FFXIV. It would seem as though whoever was in charged relied on the synergy from FFXIII to sell FFXIV and for the most part , it would seem like it succeeded in some small ways. But it left the MMO in a difficult position. With the new heads in charge and the direction the game is going, I have faith that we'll have the game we've been waiting for someday. As someone who was ranting and raving at launch and quit shortly afterward, I'm having fun again. I'm looking forward to what this game brings. It just better bring some damn greatswords.
