DESPERATION for INNOVATION: "FFXIV's DOWNFALL"

[Neku]

First post ever on these forums...

Honestly, in pretty much every mmo out there every job has a role and optimal gear. I dont see the big problem here. Say one gear set is the best in the game for a white mage. I'm sure all white mages are going to want that set. Why do you search for a white mage in a party? To heal. Why do you search for a tank? To tank. Why do you search for DD.... you get the idea.

Sure 11 had subjobs, but every job still had an optimal subjob and role to play for most party situations. There isn't too big of a problem with 14's job system the way its looking now.

Does anybody, besides me, still think this Armoury System is gonna end up being SE's Achilles' Heel?

They've worked it, and reworked it, from DAY ONE....and it is STILL an abomination. I mean...what the heck is supposed to set me apart from every other 50 WHM, WAR, and PLD....my armor choices? (unlikely, since every time new gear comes out, it's so easy to get)

So, is it my sub class? (nope...those are PRE-DETERMINED). Where is the versatility? Where is the DRG subbing "whm" so his wyvern can healing breath....Where is the SAM subbing DNC, so he can solo a damn Sky God lol....where is the thf subbing war for berserk, and so on....

What is it going to take for SE to realize that no1 wants to be a carbon frekin copy of everyone else with their job...a handful of actions that anybody can simply swap onto, is NOT helping the situation.


AND PLEASE.....do not give me that whole "that's what classes are for" spiel. Classes perfectly epitomize the terms "BORING and GENERIC."

. . . . next!! You ppl need to get over that crap.. give SE time to get 2.0 out -_- and try reading the road map and you know there working on it.

biggest issue with the games is its going to be focused on instance content which is pertty much a grind for gear and when everyone already gets everything there not doing it again, SE seems to want and keep it at that and not trying to expand on it. they really need to make some content in 2.0 that you can do constantly with anyone at anytime or by your self or the game is gonna dry up fast. im so bored right now with the game im waiting for the AF weapons to be released before i log back in.

SE get your stuff together because its your last chance coming up in just over 6 months.

I don't understand it when people talk like you because you just precisely said when things are going to be fixed, as we all have well known for 7+ months. Just wait for 2.0, as they've stated time and time again that they're going to give a whole bunch of content for different level ranges, since right now they are only giving us, in our current version, endgame content. The reason for this? They're not pushing for nor expecting new players at the moment. Since our current build is such a hot mess, then they can only do this slowly and without much depth to it.

You should read the above with a tone of patience and silent hope more than blind whiteknighting.

Ever since the welcome back campaign we've been getting so many of the old FFXI nostalgia driven whiners back we had when the game was F2P.

Drop your subscription. If the game isn't for you right now.... it's not going to be for you in the future.

2.0 fix in how many months after it goes live?

Where is the SAM subbing DNC, so he can solo a damn Sky God lol....

Yeah that's fun, completely OP classes. You shouldn't ever be able to solo a "sky god".

It's like that video of the corsair one-shotting some endgame dragon NM. Yeah we sure are missing out on a lot.

This sounds like three different questions in one.

Well it is kind of SE's fault for Scored Earthing FFXI.

Then making a soft balled sequel by hinting at entering FFXIV through your mog house in FFXI.

Then using the same Races.


Quakes like a duck. Waddles adorably like a duck. Annoying hides Evangelyne's fun bits like a duck. Don't get surprised or even upset when people are confused when you call it a Rigid Air Ship instead.

Gotta say. The kneejerk reactions in this thread are kinda dissapointing.
