I can argue that SE wouldn't release an incomplete game, so that means the game was complete! Its one thing to release and incomplete game to releasing a "completed" game with a broken engine. Of course I'm not trying to get all technical smart ass on people but I try to view all things from all angles and as a gamer if this difficulty doesn't change, people will most likely not stick around like they have in FFXI.
Lol its an invalid point because its inconvenient for you? Not an argument.

SE acknowledged it was an incomplete game by cancelling payments and letting ppl pay free for an entire year. And you want to compare THAT to FFXI? As I said, its not a fair comparison. The only reason we are paying for it now is because they can't afford to fix it otherwise. Why would they be making FFXIV 2.0, and scrapping this one, if this was a complete game as you are trying to hypothetically argue? FFXIV 2.0 is a new game, this is like a bridge into it. As I said, comparing a complete game to an incomplete game is not a fair comparison. Its just not. If you insist on making it, fine, but anyone with an ounce of logic can see the error in your comparison.

Thats like trying to compare the taste of ripe bananas in Jamaica to some not yet ripened bananas in, idk, California. Yeah you can conclude that Jamaica's bananas are better, but its not a fair comparison. You didn't even give California's bananas a chance to mature and ripen yet. You're comparing the faculties of a full-grown adult to those of a child. Seriously.
