Loyalty Test

[ChiefCurrahee]

I've played Rift and Starwars since the release of FFXIV. I cancelled my subs to both those games. It's funny, XIV lacks many basic aspects from content to design. But it still has something that neither Rift or SWtor has. Maybe it's the hope for ver 2.0
but what really makes me like XIV over those other games is: character design, animation, and the lore.

one thing that many eastern studios have over western studios is character design and animation. especailly in MMOs.

started off as Name but if it was a different name since it's still Square-Enix (Japan) I would of still would of paid close attention and if it was interesting most likely would of tried it.

Now, I'm staying not only because it's Square-Enix title but as a guy who dreamed of wanting to become a game programmer, I want to see what Yoshi's team delivers with this game which was known as the worst game, want to see how much of a programmer YoshiP and his team is and how much they can really REBIRTH FFXIV.

this is exactly how i feel also.

Are you loyal to the game?

I'm very loyal to the game, i'm not hardcore as i was in FFXI but i'm very loyal in this game and 2.0 has something for me to look forward to

Or are you loyal to the name?

I can't say i am loyal to the game because i'm more of a pre FF7 player, after that it's been cutscene city with these Final fantasy, i think my XI experience is the reason why i stick to this game.


Would you still play if the game was called Omega Odyssey or Online Adventures in Eorzea?

How much weight does the Final Fantasy name carry?

[ShinChuck]

Game would have shut down if it wasn't "Final Fantasy" by "Square Enix". With tons of SE Corporate money and all that rides on a main-series FF title, SE simply had to keep the game afloat.

If anything, that's the only thing that's kept me around, so I guess you would say the name. If it wasn't FF by SE and rather Pathetic New IP Launch by Random Company, I probably would have been long gone (but we wouldn't have had a choice anyway, because the game likely would have ceased to exist).

[WinnipegJet]

Name or would have been gone a long time ago. That said, if [generic MMO title] was undergoing the changes XIV is currently (and had plans similar to 2.0), I would for sure revisit it.

[Blitz0309]

If anything I've learned from ffxiv... and other games SE has touched/published (like dungeon siege III... which blows btw as multiplayer is pretty pointless, and supreme commander 2.. killed both series with those) is that they have lost touch with what's good.

Yes, being a publisher doesn't mean they developed the games but if it says SE anywhere its probably not going to be anywhere near as good as you think..

And that sucks, but oh well.

OK to start out never take a job naming MMO ._.

To answer the question when I started playing this game it was a FF game in name only. Its become more playable over the last year in large part because it is closer to becoming a FF title. I'm not sure at this point the two can really be separated. This is a FF game, and its the FF in the game that keeps me playing.

Only other SE game franchise I have played is Valkyrie Profile, and while I love the visual designs in the game it wasn't as good as FF storywise.

[Lienn]

Well, i'm loyal to SE...even though they've been tripping on their own ego these days, if a game is made by them it's enough for me to give it a try...pretty much the same feeling i have regarding nintendo. I give their games a try regardless of game name, even tho if it's a known brand like FF or Zelda it does potentially can be a better game than a random-named game.

[alienbaby]

ffxiv or gtfo, only reason im still playing it and not star wars

How much weight does the Final Fantasy name carry?

It's pretty safe to say that people who are still here like the game, however, if it wasn't published and promoted by square enix or carried the final fantasy name, not as many people would have noticed or known about it.
