Battle Command Design -PLEASE FIX IT

[darkstarpoet1]

Ok, I'll admit that I EXAGGERATED a bit...Not everyone thinks that the battle UI is "complete s$%t;" but most do agree that it's not ideal, and they absolutely want SOME sort of change (they just don't quite know what).

And I dunno what the hell you're talking about w/ XI's customer base. It was somewhere in the several million range in it's peak (like 2.5M to 3.25M). I assume you pulled it out of your a@@ just to make a point lol, but point not made...

"Bad Rydin...SMH"



And, btw, 3 million+ ppl are worthy of SE's attention. PC gamers had their chance. They tried the game; they hated it cuz it wasn't a WoW clone; and now they're going to ruin it for XI fans by trying to make it more appealing to *their* community.



P.S. What does SMH mean?

i'm not sure where you got these numbers from at all. according to wiki the most players xi had was 500k subscribers.

"As of 2006, between 200,000 and 300,000 active players logged in per day, and the game was the dominant MMORPG in Japan.[4] As of 2008, in an announcement for three additional expansions in development, SE noted Final Fantasy XI still has a strong user base of around 500,000 subscribers."

now it did go on to state that in april of 2009 that they had reached 2mil total characters, but this is not subscribed players nor taking into account of the people that played several alts.

"In April 2009, Square Enix announced that the total number of active characters exceeded 2 million for the first time."

my numbers come straight from wiki. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XI

where do your 3.5 mil numbers come from?

lol wow...I see that you're right now. I feel retarded. I trusted the word of my friend, who is known to pull sh$% out of his a$$...I should've known better. Well, if that's the case, I'm more than happy to settle for somewhere around the same.

XI was at it's "peak," for me, somewhere between 2004-2005. I don't know what the exact subscriber count was, but there were ppl all over the place, leveling in the major areas (Dunes, Korolloka, Qufim, Kazham, Altepa, etc.). CoP had just been released, recently, and the game was really flourishing. Personally, I'd rather see the game go back to some of the core aspects of FFXI (at least as far as battle UI, battle pace, targetting, party play/exp, and so on); but if the game can really get to a point where we've got millions of subscribers....then I'm willing to let most of this stuff go. XI was AWFUL when areas started to empty out.

So, "Kings to you, Fernand..." lol -Count of Monte Cristo quote
