A few thoughts on FFXIV

[Xatsh]

OP your best bet is to quit this mmo, because it was not made for you.. the revamp is also not being made for your taste.

I agree with some points to a small degree but disagree with most of them.

Combat is fine as is once they add regiments back in. If you want an action mmo play tera, FF is not an action mmo it is not being designed to be one, and it will never be one.

If you want a solo focus mmo, play ToR. This is a party focused mmo with the option to solo for less reward and slower progression. (mmos are group based games)

This is a Final Fantasy and is Heavily PvE focused. IF you want a strong PvP game, play Tera/GW2/ToR/or WoW. The devs stated that was not their focus when making the game.

Story line, the new storylines are not that bad. They are not CoP from XI, but they are better then alot of the garbage other mainstream mmos shove down your throat.

Basically you want a mmo that is solo/low man focused with quick fast paced action and a heavy focus on PvP. This is the worst mmo you could play. And Honestly I hope SE ignores most of your suggestions.

Apparently you are unwilling to read, i DO like this game, but there are a lot of parts that need to be improved on, and the attitude of "quit this mmo" is more of a fact that you have nothing to say.

Tera? LOL no thanks, I like FFXIV however they could fix the combat and several are agreeing with me so right there is proof some people think the combat system can be adjusted a bit.

So you didn't read what I said at all, I would rather LEVEL solo and not join parties because they are very boring, when it comes to raids or some NMs parties are fine however they need some lower number party content rather then just 8 person raids.

"The devs stated that was not their focus when making the game." Yet Yoshi-P stated he wanted a good amount of PvP, and the director of FFXIV while making the game is no longer in charge of it. You also seem to not realize that some of those other games have a good amount of PvE that is able to be just as teamwork forced and tactic focused as this one.

"better then other mainstream MMOs" If you do the content in other games and pay attention to the storyline, i'd say its about equal to FFXIV. No CoP but equal to FFXIV.

I don't know what you're trying to get at other then a lengthy "quit" post but know this. I am a FAN of Square Enix and Final Fantasy XIV I stuck with FFXI through terrible balance patches and mistakes. I stuck with SE games since the first one I played, I stuck with SE even though everyone else I knew played WoW I was playing FFXI.

I am a fan of SE, and only stating my opinion on how the game is being run and its direction, so no I won't quit. Hate to break it to you.

This topic seems familiar.

Fanboy is a Defensive word for the trolls, and the word troll is a Defensive word for the Fanboys..

The Endless and Vicious Cycle... Yep :P

I'm sorry but in FFXI as well as FFXIV, I am NOT going to level another job because the devs at SE aren't willing to actually balance them... (PLD/WAR issues anyone?)

Seconded. This really has to be put accross to whoever is in charge of class and job balance.

also the reason most MMOs don't use resources like TP is because they know building it is a boring headache and there are far superior systems out there

Well, that and shoehorning everyone to one resource system is going to have obvious weak points. I really had hoped the devs would have learned that lesson from XI. Kinda late on that, though, as you'd have to decide who to stick with TP, what other resource systems to use/borrow from other games/create, and then who would get what.

Some good points OP, and you're suriving the attack of Fanboys quite well.

There a lot of people who are saying "just quit, its fine", if theres people who dont think its fine, and people liking and agreeing, then its obviously not fine is it.

SE want Feedback, so why are you being ignorant ahats and telling this person to "quit" when hes just giving feedback.

The fanboys in this game are so dumb, they tell people to gtfo, quit, and so on, yes im sure SE really appreciate you telling potential customers not to spend their money on the game you supposedly like but continue to fend of customers....

Crazy world...

Thank you, and I agree with what you're saying as well, kind of shocking others don't.

Just because there have been drastic changes doesn't mean they have to be set in stone. I currently like some of the new stuff that has been put into the game, but if lots of new players aren't drawn to the game...then there's no point in keeping the servers up. I asked for drastic changes on all three player's polls and will adapt to them as they become available

The drastic changes have been made, however there are many changes to things that still can be made to help the game improve. The points I directed at were the major points MMO players look for.

"how involved is the combat system and how busy will it keep me" - Fun but can be improved

"How much content can I do with a full raid group or a smaller number of people" - this is a huge one

"How much PvP is there if any and can i get stuff for doing it" - A strong MMO selling point

"How much leveling can I do solo and how long will it take" - its faster to level with leaves as is then some MMOs(so long as you don't abyssea cheat), I personally have np with it, but it could be quicker.

How much can I do with only 1-2 hours - this is also a rather large one for the casual gamers

These are all points that people look at when they chose an MMO and there are so many more.

Improve as in " to how you would like to see the game in your eyes" more or less
