Major Updates

[Zhou]

Played the Beta and for 2 months after its release but I haven't played since as I found the game repetitive and slow.
Being a general Final Fantasy fan and a fan of mmo's (played FF11, WoW and GW since there release dates) I want to give this game another shot.

Before I re-install it can anyone give me a run down of major changes.

Thanks

Dont play it yet. Major changes are in the making, but due to the director having changed in December they're not ready. The game is still in a phase of change.

I did read that though I haven't heard anything about the predicted changes, any Idea on what they will be?

I say re-install it. It's free. HDD space isn't hindered unless you're rocking a low memory solid state. Lots of people have it installed and are not playing it. Technically, right now nobody is playing it.

Here's the rundown:

These changes comprise about 40% of what the new director has planned. The "Planned" tasks are general features and "Current" and "Future" tasks are the specifics the development team is currently working on. Current at the moment, Future afterwards.

I give 5.5 out of 10 for XIV at this moment

just OK, still not good enough, not a game you can play it all day all night

also since you haven't played i am not sure if you know, but atm both xi and xiv are down while this disaster in japan is ongoing. at this point we are all just hoping the situation improves over there and they can get the servers back up soon.

Thanks guys, perfect responses.
Glad its still free, still have 3000 unused crysta points I added on CE release day.

hope the game will be good enough after next few major updates

with this official forum we can suggest the dev team directly and it's very useful

Its got flavour and the general mechanics that make it as good as a "simulation", but lacks everything else. I dont see it as a "Game" but more like a intensive playable tech demo lol.
