Back from Rift....

. I just want to say this to the developers, build upon the lessons learned from FFXI and you'll do fine. You had alot of great concepts and idea there, don't toss them out just for more mass market appeal. You're client base will come from people who love Final Fantasy and those who are tired of the current MMO trend.

People tired of senseless and tedious grinding w/o any challenges other than testing your patience to see if you can make it to EG before you have had enough even in a fully polished game? lol

Yeah, I felt FFXI had some very good concepts that are unique, fun and the best of any MMO out there today, just paired with some not so good concepts. I expected FFXIV to have those concepts and 8 years of renovations/improvements to those weaker concepts, but instead they tried something totally different. SE is working on their flaws and I still have hope in this game because it still has a great amount of potential.

<<<this, ffxi had so much i loved and it seems ffxiv took all of them out and left the ones that weren't great whatever few they left. it's like they started us back at the stone age when i expected to see a game that was at the least at where ffxi ended. but on top all that i'm still holding strong for changes and in maybe the future this game looking like the game i expected it to be.
