What is FFXIV trying to BE?

[Kilta_Firelotus]

Gift. Those buzz words were meant for the new team not us the players. Those are to help motivate the team, and the basic focus they need. They are brain storming ideas on how to fix/ add stuff while using what we suggest.

As for ffxiv its a mmo trying to break the mold ffxi had. Since ffxi wasn't that friendly to those with less time. Its just another mmo among millions.

I looked at other games you mentioned. they all have this "seen it" feel to me. Nothing looks really new. Unlike ffxiv, that to me looks new. Which is why I wanna play it so badly. Which is why I reseved it in full the second i heard about it.

We need new mmo, not more of the same. And sorry no one wants new, or else game may nota had such a "so-so" launch. (7/10 in't a bad rating 1/10 is worst)

these buzz words were probably a desperate measure to control the subject in XIV related news posts. Which then did not work.

maybe you should just move on then? you keep trolling the boards for what reason? You obviously hate everything this game has and will prob never like it when stuff gets added.

Why dont you just block me? I've already answered you.

"reboot, and rebuild" Hasn't happened yet. I don't see anything on the planned column that suggests that it's even coming. Nice hyperbole nothing to back it up.

gift the point I was making was those buzz words are not suppose to make semces to us so of course you wouldn't get it. Maybe you just do not understand ffxiv. In order to see what SE was trying to do just look at the story. IMO the story from my understanding is pretty clear.
Maybe your just over anilyzing the game a bit and just not seeing the bigger picture?
What SE wanted to make: A game that was less time consuming with alot more fredom then their first mmo. A new world we never seen, and new ways of inter acting with this world.

Pretty much all RPG are all the same you level up a character play through the story through questing and killing creatures in oder to save the world in some sort of fashion.
in ffxiv we all must do our parts as a community to get ready for the upcoming danger then do our parts to fight it.

Thats my understand on where SE coming from. They adding rp to the rpg that was slowly lost.

And by more freedom as in to make your own class rather then the cookie cutter builds.

the bad ratings were true in this case though most real gamers dont at all listen to reviews and bias ratings but i think the FF fans are pretty united in the fact that those poor ratings and reviews were not to far off. this game proves that new isnt always better not every new idea is a better one, sometimes if something is said to have never been seen/done/tried its for a good reason.

I always thought numerical scores were a poor measure of a personal opinion, that being said if you actually read the reviews they slam this game pretty harshly even in the few sites that gave the game great scores.

edit: also what new ideas do we have besides the armory system,which is like the only critically praised feature.

I know right.

A slow & unresponsive battle system isn't new, neither is exhausting grind and minimal quests with no rewards or goals other than getting gear.

This seems to be a rediculous observation; all MMO's ultimate goal is "getting gear." :/
