Why its hard to play ff14

[Aramina]

You know what would actually kill the game? Turning it into something other than what it is. If I wanted to play an action-combat game I would go play an action-combat game. I do not enjoy them though, and I do enjoy tab-target. I am sorry you and your friends don't like things.... but that being the case, you should go find something you do like rather than taking away something I like.

sorry dude but the game is gonna die if it doesnt fix the FLAWS, if you reread what I typed i have pet pieves sure but the flaws im pointing towards is mainly movement in general, why is the game so clunky when all i wanna do is run, why is gcd wonky as fuck, im pretty biased bc I played other games that I found fun and want to nick pick from them to put in this one but ive played all those and yes i liekd the combat and visuals but story was lacking and community was afk, also the community is irritating at most times bc I prefer to heal in dungs and when someone dies bc they pulled everything and didnt use buffs they all kick me, this has happened quite a few times (thats not a point I just wanted to throw that in there too)

Im sorry but you may not use it but youtube and twitch are a huge supplier of people being drawn in, just remember that if a huge twitch personality plays 14 and says its good then bam easily 5k people will play or at least around that and from my eyes thats a huge difference from having no push in the gaming community

Saturated content is good, thats what keeps players continue playing and if it takes a year and a half to make an xpac then us the remaining to upgrade the game and not use it to makes mounts (also I believe it was tera that allowed you to choose between its original combat and its action combat and wow 90% of the community chose action)

Every game will die eventually and nothing you've posted can keep a game alive and your ideas won't keep people from getting bored when they are done with the available content that is interesting for them. Most of the games you've mentioned, with action combat systems, are very small compared to Final Fantasy in terms of the numbers of players and some of them are close to dying too while Final Fantasy is far away from that.

Its Blade and Soul where you can use the classic combat system and the action system but just because Blade and Soul has it doesn't mean that this is doable in Final Fantasy too. No one here knows the limits of the code they used.

1) You're playing a boring job.
2) You're playing a boring job. The combat system is made so simulate turn-based combat somewhat. But more on the scale of 1-24 people "getting a turn" and then the enemy does. Things get a little bit faster as you get higher in level. (Personally, I'm glad it's not more "actiony," because I hate those FF games for that very reason.)
3) You're still technically in the prologue.
4) /shrug I think the game emulates life in that regard. There are some beautiful areas, and some dull areas. But even in some of the dull areas, there is some beauty in architectural/natural design.

what I meant is the gravity issue, when i jump it feels like im floating and can literally count the seconds until i touch the ground and then when I do touch the ground my model is stiff

I've never seen anything like that. There's some graphical issues with clipping that at times make me wish the game had real collision physics, but on PS4 (where I usually play) character movement is quite smooth. What you're describing sounds more like a hardware glitch, perhaps combined with a lag issue. What platform are you playing on? If PC, are its specs up to the game's recommended specs?

Also, what control scheme do you use? While there are tradeoffs in either direction between whether to use a controller or keyboard and mouse, movement is one where controller seems to have a decided advantage. If you're currently a keyboard/mouse player, perhaps you could consider switching (though it would take a bit of getting used to).

for summ i put my two dots and spam ruin

It's a bit hard to tell here whether you're just over-simplifying your description or over-simplifying your gameplay. I'm not at endgame either, but as a level 50 SMN (not even a particularly good one) I already use a lot more skills than that. Counting pet actions and pet commands as well as your own job and role skills, you should have 43 combat skills by level 50. True, they're not all used in the midst of a typical fight, but there's a lot more than three that are. If you're simplifying your gameplay down to the minimum essentials, then that could be a major part of why you find it too simplistic and boring.

instead of arguing my points how about we come up with ways to make the game betetr and continue to progress instead of saying "your opinion is invalid"

Nobody is saying that your opinion is invalid. What they're saying is that your opinion is an opinion, and talking about it as though it were objective fact is what's invalid. You personally prefer faster action. Not everybody does. So faster action might make the game better in your view, but worse to someone else. SE is trying to balance the game somewhere in the middle of a wide variety of player preferences. So long as you recognize that fact, it's perfectly valid to point out that your preference is towards the faster end of that spectrum, and to make a request for it.

OP, please get back to us on these questions. It'll help paint a clearer picture on wtf the deal is.

Please dont bring the Toxicity of the WoW forums here, which is exactly what your post looks like your trying to do, if I wanted that I would go back to the Actiblizz crap show that wow has become

[CrazyAngel]

This is the reason why i left WoW BfA .To many players with this toxic mentality.

[KaitoAsaha]

And they were never heard from again.

[Maero]

So let me get this you are still fairly new and think the game is going to die? lol
The game has been around for around 5 years (longer if you count whatever 1.0 was) and shows no signs of dying.
One thing however that could ruin it and they have been going that route is listening to the WOW fans, we need not any of that stuff in a FF game and the toxicity.

[kidalutz]

Wasnt listening to WoW fans what caused the epic fail that killed Wildstar?
