I agree

Long live the trolls!

I disappointed with the patch too though....

Well, the changes to sidequest mob exp and synthesis are great!

As for giving us the option to revert the targeting mode--I hope this means they're still trying to figure out how to make it better. I like how other games, like WoW, actually use different keys to target friendly/enemy targets, it would be neat if SE did something similar. Even if it's Tab to target enemies, Ctrl+Tab to target friendly, or let us set our own in the keybinding options.

As much as I want this game to succeed I logged on after the severs came on, dreaded doing more leves and behests and logged out. There are many quality games coming out SE, Bethesda alone will be a juggernaut in 2011 with 3 triple AAA titles coming out, they are lucky Elder Scrolls didn't go MMO this year.

Guild Wars 2 will be huge...the only people ignoring the popularity of Guild Wars are the ones who tout "too much instancing!!" "Only 20 levels!!"" Yah well that didn't stop millions upon millions of players to flock to GW during it's hey day.......

I've lived through the destruction of Warhammer Online and Vanguard Saga of Heroes...please SE don't let me watch this game crumble also.

Fanboys will claim that FF has too large of a fanbase to not succeed but so did SWG and look what happened to it.

This game severly needs much more content that it has. I'm fine with the mechanics but we need more diversions than just leveling up, joining behests and doing leves that gets repetetive and boring quick....

We need Unique areas....
Raid content for every 10 levels...
PVP

MMO's are more enjoyable when you have multiple things too do in the game. One day you do this then you do that but your doing things that are enjoyable. It's true this game is geared towards the Asian MMo player...lots of grind and a deep UI numbers and flashy things...it's not going well in NA I can't even find a reliable NA linkshell...

this game is going nowhere fast.

Trinta, I think you fail to realize that some epically monstrous changes and content need to be pushed out for this game to succeed. Look at that list of games... those are only the games I have an interest in. There are plenty more blockbuster hits and some gargantuan titles coming out in 2012... Where is FFXIV's PS3 release going to fit? How does SE expect to get media attention with FFXIV? At this rate, our game is going to fade into oblivion.

Except that FFXIV doesn't need to compete with those games; it only needs to compete with other MMOs. Also, success for us is subjective, but success for SE is easy - will the game make profit when released? Given the number of servers and development pace, I don't think it will need massive sub numbers for that to happen.

Edit: I just realized I replied to a BelgianRofl post. I fail.

You are such a troll. You know that the a and b patches are just patches to adjust some mechanics they introduced in the main patch. Now if this was called patch 1.17 I would totally agree with you, but patch 1.16a and 1.16b (if there comes one) are just to adjust and fine tune the mechanics added in 1.16, nothing more, nothing less.

You forget they had to deal with the earthquake, tsunami, a nuclear powerplant that was giving trouble and having energy troubles in general. As soon as I saw the name of this thread I knew it was you. I shouldn't reply to an obvious troll like you, but I couldn't resist, my mistake.

Get real seriously. I do not care about any of the games you mentioned above, so what now?

The servers just came up a few days ago and they are already giving us a new patch to adjust some small things we asked for (like SP and EXP on quest mobs). Now give me ONE, just ONE, company that does this for their MMORPG? Well?

I agree, look at the list of those offline games. I'm not sure if it's just because of my status as a gamer, but I can tell the difference between game genres. FFXIV =/= a GTA styled game, nor is it a shooter, nor is it a reboot of Half-Life. It's an MMORPG which there's no threat to an MMO beyond the company itself, because right now there's MMOs from 1990s still alive and kicking even some underground MMOs.

The PS3 release will have a surge of players especially on the Japanese side, so it will fit just fine -- there's a slew of games you failed to mention that is Japanese specific coming out as well even for the PS2 still.

No game in history fades into oblivion unless you have zero playerbase -- The only thing that fades is hype, but Duke Nukem Forever was the running joke of the gaming industry yet they didn't throw in the towel.

I knew who made this thread before I opened it..

Just FYI, Guild Wars 2 does not have a set release date, but it likely won't be until 2012.
