Where ya all go?

[Murugan]

I am not playing, because this is a big time for me at work. I for one am actually excited about the new combat system in 1.20, and I think that is something that if done well will be a big incentive to continue playing for a lot of people. I am really looking forward to seeing what is possible with the new systems. Hopefully the moogle fight highlights those possibilities well (rather than be some gimicky hoop jump like Ifrit).


I think anyone who doesn't understand that 1.20-up until 2.0 is not where the team's best work is going, is out of touch. There wouldn't be a need for a 2.0 if it this period was some kind of indicator of the level of quality to expect in 2.0. This period is just there for people to continue to play, to get a limited peak into some of the new dev teams' ideas in action, and to enjoy a few distractions (primals, the dungeons in 1.21, crystal tower, legatus fight, 7th umbral events) which hopefully are enjoyable. Ifrit and the strongholds were more fun than darkhold, and they promise Moogles will be better.

Hopefully they continue that trend, I'd like more content such as NM's now so I had more to do, but in my opinion the direction of the game is the main reason why most people who are staying are going to be willing to pay. Not simply because of "moogles", and so other games unless they are promising a similar experience to what is being promised and shown here isn't going to change that.

They aren't, FFXIV still is and that's why a lot of us play at least on Selbina which the times I have logged on these last two weeks was far from empty. I'm sorry to hear about Wutai's population problem though, but it's not the first time I've heard that about the server. Picking the right server at launch was a very fortunate decision that I think really has made this game much more enjoyable for me.
