Everyone is waiting for 1.20 and tired of doing Ifrit 200+ times. /thread

how long before everyone does the moogle fight and gets sick of it. Not much aside from that until its time to pay up. Expect your empty server to be a ghost town soon OP XD

I think the opening story.cutscenes set the precedent for me that there would be more scenes.

Grand Company speeches too.

It's strange, even though they are silent, I feel like I can hear Merywl, Raubahm, and Kanye West's voices in my head.

Did Kanye's speech go something like "I ain't saying she's a gildigger.... " :-)

I'm still on Wutai... Just playing other games til patch time cause I've beaten the 1.19 content like a dead horse and don't feel up to doing it anymore.

im actually replaying the Grandia series (Game Arts, I know the lead director died who made this series but where is my Grandia 4 on PS3!) But seriously, its the holidays people are finishing up the fall semester of school. People who have jobs are busier than normal, and people are spending time with family in real life. As for snow in real life...Chicago's supposed to be getting some tomorrow! (Its 28-30 degrees F now) /excited

I havent played in a couple weeks, neither has a friend who i got into ffxiv at the start of 1.19. The main problem we both have is the content that's available. Its all very dull and meaningless, except ifrit, im hoping the new combat system will introduce teamwork which might make group leveling enjoyable. As of right now team work consists of pulling a group and having mages aoe everything before i can draw my sword as melee, its not very fun.

I remember when i first played wow in its earlier years, there were 3 reasons i got hooked.

1.Solo and group leveling was available and enjoyable.
(solo and group leveling exist but neither are fun)

2. Gear grind- Early WoW had 5-6 instances to obtain gear from and Molten Core as a raid dungeon. The gear grind consisted of getting your "rare" gear, then fighting through MC for epic gear. Couple months later a new raid dungeon would be released and we would continue. Right now my gear grind consists of 2 things crafting and materia. Crafting is the best way of obtaining materia and is also the best gear in game.

3. PvP
This game has no side content to be interested in like pvp, so the only 2 things left are the 1st 2 things i mentioned, and lets be honest only the hardcore of the hardcore (botters) have 50 crafts. My main grind for gear that i use in battle I obtain through crafting and there is something really wrong with that system.

I made a thread about improving strongholds to cater to a battle materia grind but it was probably a waste of forum space.

Basicly what im trying to say is the reason people are no longer playing is because the only valid content in game is crafting, and aside from some achievment loot this will not change in 1.20

[Mitsuhide]

As some already said, many people wait for the next patch like myself.
I want to grind Armorer and BSM to death, i dont want that Red Power Ranger Armor...im more the Blue Ranger.
I havent finished any of the 45er Dungeons, so i get myself geared Up for it.

I wonder how the Server Population will be in the beginning of January.

[OMEGA_HACK]

You mean Jan 7th in particular? Who knows.
