oh yeah tons of people loved xi and i'm not saying it was a bad game at all. i just believe their biggest problem was that it was released in the horrid state it was released in.

to me the game in its current condition would be equal to alot of games still in the 1st beta stage. the stage where they are just starting to add content and listen to its fanbase on what they would like to see. i have a feeling after the next few updates if they do happen to add some major content in along with the fixes the game will finally be to the point people expected on release day. people do not want endless grinding with no rewards or having to figure out what part of the game they want to do. i love having the freedom to build up my main, but not being forced to because there is literally nothing else to do.

even if they get the next few patches and some updates this game will have a long way to go to be the game we expect from the makers of the final fantasy series. i mean geez how dare you have a final fantasy with no cid.....chocobos.....airship.....summons.....dangerous boss fights.....captivating story?
