SquareEnix needed to show much more than they did at the NA Fanfest. Instead, all we got was the same, tired, formula and every indication that there will not be anything particularly new or groundbreaking in Dawntrail, just more of the same routine, formulaic content. Oh sure the game might look a little prettier but they could have saved themselves millions of dollars and countless hours of development time by just adopting lighting tools and texture packs that modders use anyway. Ultimately, many people will unsubscribe forever. But it's not because you proselytized from your high horse to defend the honor and chastity of SquareEnix. No. Players are going to leave in droves, forever, because they are just simply not having fun - the game has become lobotomized. The content is stagnant, unfulfilling, unrewarding. There is no prospect of it getting any better, and there are simply better games available on the market. You might not agree with me now and that's fine. But if you look at the state of the game in nine months and you still can't see it then I feel sorry for you. You've been tempered by SquareEnix and not even the Porxies can save you.
Except NA fanfest never ever showed alot to begin with. It's the beginning...the teaser. We will get more with EU fanfest then JP fanfest will have everything.
