Realm Reborn = downgrade?

How realism and believable movement factors into the fun factor of a video game is really.., beyond you?

OH HEY GUYS LET ME POST A PICTURE OF A BAD GAME TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE!!!

Is Final Fantasy XIV the first game you've ever played?

I hold Phantasy Star Online in much higher standing than this game, and it's far from a gorgeous game with perfect animations. To this day, I still toss it on my GameCube and play it because of how much fun I have playing it. Never once did I sit back and think "Man, this game would be fun if it wasn't for these awful animations!"

People like you are everything that is wrong with gaming. I'm not talking about "I have an opinion, therefore I'm wrong." I'm talking about "THIS DOESN'T LOOK GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME!!!" As a gamer of the late 80's/early 90's...I can say that I have never not had fun in a game because of the graphics...I didn't have fun because the game itself wasn't fun.

Sometimes, when people give up.. they resort to pictures to hide behind like a scared little kitten who lost his way o.o.

Agreed on every count, especially PSO. The game has a lot of really stiff animations and few actual transitions that are well blended but it's still fun as hell. The attack animation transition especially is practically non-existent for most weapons lol.

My main concern is ARR being fun to play, not the pinnacle of transition animations.

Not only did you not understand my point, you did so IN CAPS. Kind of emphasized the fail there.

My point was, if realism and believable movement was not factoring into the fun in video games, then why do games even bother to evolve in that department, from this :

The FFXIV community: They would rather have the game delayed for another 2 months to have "better" character animations.

Stay classy.

Nice try. The animations are already in game. Don't remove them and there will be no delay.

It doesn't really work that way. They had a reason to remove them, and reapplying them to the existing game probably needs some work. But i'm classy enough to wait for them to do that work before releasing the game.
