LOLPATCH 1.16a

[Silvyaniss]

Rift is about to release patch 1.1 that has 12 pages of update content plus world events, now that's a patch. SE could learn a few things from these other MMO companies that are actually making money...

Rift=complete from day one and polished
FF14=hmmm yah....

Everyone is saying wait a year wait 6 months, hell within a year other MMO's coming out will Smash the hell out of FF14
and I know Skryim is not an MMO but I would much rather play Skyrim for 3-5 years then play FF14 even a year from now..
between GW2, SWTOR, TERA, and SKryim is there even room in my hard drive for FF14 by then, d0n't think so.

This. Therefore it's useless to compare x MMO having y update that contains soandso features, when XIV got released before it was finished and therefore has to be finished basically for the PS3 release.

Portal 2 kicks off the year with a ridiculously huge launch in 3 weeks.

That's one of the games with the least to do with FFXIV's playerbase, with very limited longevity (6-7 hours according to valve) and with no real chances to pull many away from any MMORPGs for any sizable time. Especially from MMORPGs they don't have to pay for.

So yeah. I'm sure Portal 2 will inpact FFXIV a lot. For 6-7 hours
Ah the tragedy... I can already see the empty servers... for a whole half a day

And do you know how much of that patch was already in development months before release and just didn't make it in the release? because that tends to count.

Not to mention one of the blandest entries in the MMORPG market in years. Two months, and no one will even remember it existed, pretty much like all the previous wow clones. People are already murmuring how bland, boring and more of the same it is now.
I'll always be quite amazed on how some could consider releasing a game with such a completely soulless art direction.

Well now this thread has ventured into some serious lol territory...
