Fighting Desperately...

[TheRac25]

lol if you thought anything in xi was hard besides av and pw, you were doing it wrong

[YUGON]

Yep! I understand you pretty well!
Every time I log on, I feel like going back to XI, because I do not like "V", in game titles............................................. ¬¬

Rly, If u want to go back to FFXI, just go. No one is posting everything they wanna do. Think If that was the case:

Thread 1: I think I'll go to play Mass Effect 3, because there are no Alien in FFXIV.
Thread 2: I think I'll go to play FFX-2, because there are more jobs.
Thread 3: I do not want to go back to FFXI, but I'll make a Thread to /rage people. (That's usually the common one)

I know what Xoo misses. I know EXACTLY what he's talking about when it comes to leveling up anyway. Good memories and bad memories of it in FFXI.

However Xoo, I can safely assure you that the things you're reminiscing about and longing for WILL NEVER make their way into this game.

Why?

Because it's digressive and antiquated at best. So if what you're looking for is FFXI HD, then continuing to hold out hope that this game will eventually transform into your wildest dreams is futile.

PERIOD.

Forget the reasoning and the politics, they're worthless here. This game is a WHOLE new breed of Final Fantasy that closer resembles what FF13 is: a step in a new direction that's both enjoyable and approachable by a larger audience.

I hate to say it, but the people that cling on to the old days of FF are only showing signs of their age. SE isn't going to remain stuck in limbo for a particular generation of it's players, that's retarded.

I for one embrace change and look forward to how SE is going to make this game feel more "next-generation" in 2.0 and later.

Etcetera~

In my opinion, I can't help but believe that SE just sold out to make a better profit. Of course, this is fine if you actually need the revenue, but I really don't think that's the case here. Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong.

It's just an overwhelming feeling of betrayal.

If XI wasn't generating ~4.5mil US a month they might be spread a little thin after the year of f2p FFXIV. But they have spent a year working and making it easier for people. I imagine the goal is in fact to top the MMO highest player base ever category. This doesn't mean a game has to be watered down, but somehow that's what happened here.

Dear god, they are a business they always need the revenue.

It's not betrayal lol, SE never cared about you to begin with, you are 1 person.

[Lux_Rayna]

aaaa

This is correct lol. Idk if you watch boxing Xoo, but there's a saying in boxing that goes "Never fall in love with a fighter." You can say the same for publishers or games. The end goal, after its all said and done, is to make more money. They have investors they need to make happy, and investors want to see as much profit as possible. Its never really been about the players, ever. The only ppl that care about the players, theoretically, are the GMs or game designers. But on the business side of things, no one gives a crap about the players. They just want purchases and subs.


And idk why ppl are attacking Xoo over his lackluster experience. It doesn't seem debatable to me...

I bought this game and hate it and SE doesn't care...

None of them care mmo are created for MOnEY not to make you happy. They want sub to be happy to keep you playing longer for.... Take a guess... MONEY. Seriously people stop crying. If you don't like the game quit end of story, try again 2.0. Why do people post about quiting on forums? Need attention? Not getting it From family or friends? My god.

Geez, somebody's a hypocrite lmao. You do realize that in the same post you're telling other people they're crying about shit that you're doing the same exact thing?

and inserting a photo tell me that's not a desperate attempt for attention? My only question, is that a photo of you?


People have the right to dislike a 5/10 rated game, hell they have to right to complain about a 10/10 game. Just because you don't share their point of view doesn't mean you have to troll their threads.

When a company screws up they need to hear about it, when you go white knighting bad business practices all you do is encourage them to cheat us some more. They should be profiting because they make a 10/10 game, not because of cheap marketing tactics surrounding a 5/10 game.

It's not like anything said hasn't been true, FFXI fans wanted an experience like XI delivered, and they sold by copying WoW. Fans have a right to be mad about it. Justice was served when XIV bombed.

[Drunk-Bandit]

Only time FFXI was difficulty was when you ran into idiots that didn't know how to play their job.. lol Pld with DD Gear.... ring a bell... ~.~ or a whm that always wanted to melee and never heal in a pty... ya.... Other then that I got sick of sitting there waiting for crap to happen... I might've been able to get away with playing a timesink like that back in high school... but when you get older having a Job and crap... things change... to Be honest I don't wanna play the next XI... I want XIV to be a much better experience... Wait until 2.0 before judging baby... New mmorpgs are a work in progress baby...

I love reading threads with people complaining about how XI was easy, and that it sucked etc.

Going to post my usual.

Final Fantasy XI currently has around 300,000~ subscriptions.

Final Fantasy XIV has below 10,000 active players.

Yeah we should make fun of XI. For sure. Good Call.

Proof... Can I have it?! Cause last time I heard... from a friend currently playing FFXI. says that it was a ghost town of it's former self...
