Is "Traditional" a cop out?

ima get flamed but here is my 2 cents cuz I actually remembered a few things ppl failed to notice.

I don't feel ffxiv was rushed as ppl claimed. The game itself would look bad. If you want to see a rushed game look up two worlds (the first one). What REALY happens to ffxiv was technical difficaults the old team couldn't fix. People over speculated with no limits. And refused to listen when ppl said not to. I do agree that side quests should have been in game from the start.

But most stuff was put on hold due to all of the stability issues.
We were suppose to get compainies at launch, the added hair styles group crafting. But was not due to server stability.

They couldn't fix it so a new team with better experiance was put in place. They said sorry for how the game was launched. If ppl really didn't like the ideas, alpha or beta. No one would have bought the game.

People now or complaining for sake of Last i check graphics was bad before in ffxiv now cuz a troll thinks so ppl follow

If we look at Final Fantasy XI's release and compare FFXIV to that, then no it wasn't really rushed by those standards, as FFXI was missing a lot of stuff too. Thing is that you can't release an MMO in that state anymore thanks in no small part to the success of games like FFXI and WoW, which while having years worth of reiteration and content, basically set a high bar to entry.

FFXIV made a lot of interesting innovations, but they either lacked in certain areas, had arbitrary limits, or as Yoshi himself mentioned, felt very disconnected from each other.

Ultimately I've genuinely enjoyed the end product, but I can't say I haven't enjoyed what improvements Yoshi is making and will continue to make.
