(FFXIIIs zone limitations is proof of that)
whats worse is FF VERSUS has just started full production about a month or two back even though the game has been in development for what...5 years now?
FFXIII-2 is created off of time and resources wasted on making the first one. "we had so many zones, monsters and concepts that we spent much time creating left over from FFXIII that we figured, why not just use those to make a sequel?" thats kind of a massive red flag to me.
i swear to god if i was a billionaire id hire my team and my game would be:
gorgeous, both characters and zones (as every game should be)
seamless open world (which FFXIV currently isnt and will not be in the future)
filled with voiced cut scenes
realistic yet fantasy looking armour and weapons
tons of amazing spells. half of which just look different than others to suit your aesthetic play style!
NPC buddy systems... ugh the list goes on
no MMO satisfies me and i dont think any ever will...
