Is there enough time to fix this game?

[Sirrush]

Exactly.

Still I can't help but wonder how someone can explore Eorzea in just two hours .....

its simple, just delete all the extra copypasta parts, and mesh together all the snake trails so its one large landscape, and bam, maybe even less then 2 hours.

This game is on it last leg. Games in this condition this late after release go under or go F2P.

P.S. I haven't played FFXIV in 3 months and nothing that has changed has brought me back.

Well it already went F2P and caused SE's net worth to drop 25%. Only time will, but I have the high hopes that Yoshi-P will fix this game because he HAS to.

I think they mean real free to play, you know with a cash shop or some other way to generate actual revenue.

So you see a future where people will pay to play without a total over haul of everything?

That's what I am saying.

I mean, realistically if you played back when the game was released, and you played again now. There are only a few changes that really made a difference. More Items, smoother interface, and EXP/SP Generation. In the time that they had to make updates and changes to the game, i feel like they really aren't thinking things through. They mentioned Companies near the day of release, and haven't implicated any hint of it. They talk about how they are working to make the game better, but in reality, there has been soo little improvement.

6 months have passed and what does SE have to show for it? A few new rooms in the Market wards, a weak search function, and a UI that's closer (yet so far off) to where it should have been at launch, 5 new monsters, the Coatee that all the manthras wear, and 6 or 7 side-quests that offer no incentive.

(Remember - you're supposed to wait 6 months before you review an MMO???) At this rate, I'm worried that Ishgard won't be created for another year and a half. It's possible for a new player to explore this entire tiny world in an hour or two.

SE's second and last chance at making a name for this game is the PS3 Launch when all the big reviewers re-review the game. The truth of the matter is, there are some HUGE upcoming titles that could keep the spotlight off of FFXIV's PS3 Release... That is... unless SE does something drastic, and does it fast..

The question is... is there enough time to fix this game? Will Yoshi-P pull something out of his hat and surprise us all, or will FFXIV be quashed by the competition?

At this moment SE is reacting to the communities "Need to fix" issues. Making the game playable to the hundreds of thousands of players who are over the hype; is in the distant future.

we got lots off time, as long as they dont hurry ps3 release it will go great even if it takes more years for ps3 and people forgets about it, they will come at that release ^^

If I were not such a fan of SE, I would have looked to another game long ago to fill my spare time. I have hope, but not much patience this late in the game.
