Do you want to play after Character Data Save?

[Req]

The only way I will be on is if they have a world event, other than that I will log on the day the servers go down but that's about it. I would say that the only real point would be to train players to play their classes better from a linkshell perspective but since the game is changing at 2.0 we will probably be learning everything over again.

it will be fun or very bad to keep playing after the final save. if i get a x4 lvl 4 meld armor ill be very mad knowing that i wont be able to keep it. that also goes for relics and another armor drops

I will not be playing after they stop saving progression just really no point.

Me and my linkshell at that point will play a hold over casual based game (COD,Minecraft, or something else) until 2.0 relaunches.

I don't think I'll connect either if they keep the server live afterwards. I'll probably use that time to try new offline games like Assassin Creeds 3 and such while waiting for ARR.

If I do connect, it would simply be to re-watch cutscenes and such. Then again, I might simply record them since they won't be available in ARR (for myself! I know it's against the rules, but maybe I'll want to keep a souvenir of my adventures then. ).

Anyway, very unlikely that I'll log back in after The Big Save.

I'll be playing Assassin's Creed 3 at that point (Oct. 30th!) so I'll probably vote no.

Nope because someone will complain that their 5 meld or DL chest piece dropped and SE must save their new data...

Let it die already

If they made some kind of fun event to keep playing, I might consider. Higher drop rates, Higher materia melding rates, instance waiting time removal, etc. I'd definitely try out some fun stuff like that, but otherwise not gonna bother. No point running a dungeon that will be changed or killing a primal that will be removed, that can't even be considered a "practice". Not to mention I would be pretty pissed if I ran a dungeon and got a Darklight drop that I won't be able to keep or something like that.

The problem with the bonuses is you wont get to keep any of the things you make or anything that drops, so whats the point really? The only thing that I can think of that would make it worthwhile AT ALL is if they are somehow capable of allowing us to still work towards achievements during the downtime. I don't know how character data works or if this would be possible at all but it would give some people a reason to keep playing.

The point for those events isn't to keep stuff, but to have some god mode fun out there. People messing with 5X melds and trying to beat Ifrit kill records with that power, for example.

Of course that should't be kept, but would be fun for a while. Better than playing normally with no incentive or bonus when nothing will carry over.

Yeah but the thing is, how long would that be fun. In theory its awesome but everyone would probably get tired of one shotting things after like a week. A good example I will give is the grand theft auto games. They always come with cheats that make you borderline invincible, and give you all the weapons which makes it fun to sit there and see how long you can last against the police every once in awhile, but how long does it take until that gets boring and you go back to doing the story and actually making progress in the game? With super stats and drop rates it would just be the same scenario except we won't have the option of going back to actually making any sort of progress. Is it really worth any sort of square enixes resources, no matter how minimal, when they could be working on the launch of 2.0 instead of doing that.
