    I'm very happy with the direction ARR is being taken.

    Browsing the "New Posts", you might get the impression that the fans hate everything that's been shown so far, and I think that even most of those who are showing their concerns for certain features being implemented will agree that this isn't the case.

    I think, however, there should be more representation from those of us who have loved just about everything they've seen from the team. The game is beautiful so far, and the improvement on the maps and scenery alone are enough to get me excited for the release of ARR, not to mention all the other great content.

    This doesn't mean I don't have my reservations about some things, but they're not important enough to me to warrant me expressing my disapproval, especially since they're features that are aimed toward other players who have very different taste.

    People criticize because they love the game, and they want to see it be the best game that it can be. I'm sure the dev team knows this already, but I can't help but worry that they might see all the criticism and maybe panic or lose hope.

    Yoshi-P and team, you're doing great so far! Keep up the good work!

    Yep yep. "No news is good news", or something like that X)

    While I do have some minor concerns; if ARR is going to be anything remotely like what they've been telling and showing us so far, it seems like a welcome change in direction from what 1.0 started out with.

    If they could make 1.0 from an absolute flop into something that's actually been able to hold my interest for months at a time, I have high hopes for ARR.

    That isn't to say those with concerns shouldn't make those concerns known, or that it isn't possible for them to somehow screw up and make ARR worse than 1.0 (as unlikely as that seems, to me at least).

    It's not just that but for the most part people dont care or comment on positive threads. i have left a few positive threads or some offering some thoughts or ideas and the most it gets is 2-3 pages of comments. If its not scathing, highly opinionated, or something people have heated disagreements on its generally ignored.

    OP: i have to agree with you, i'm quite happy and excited to see how things will be in ARR. already i'm able to play and enjoy the game in its current state (something i was unable to do for the first year+) i'm also excited for the new features they are planning for the future like PvP, Golden Saucer, Player Housing, and Choco breeding. I only wish more people would realize that just because you dont like a feature dosent mean other people would not like or get great use from it EG: local servers. you dont like it, dont use it. just dont think so highly of yourself that your preference should be justification to deny others the opportunity.

    Too happy actually, I'm scared ARR won't be what I'm seeing.

    I'm pretty happy with all that is displayed.. Although the new information comes few and far between I feel at ease that ARR may just secure XIV's future as an MMO.. That's just my opinion, however. So many more things to be excited about... rather than complain about.

    I just want them to remember a significant portion of their player-base plays this game because it is a Japanese MMO named Final Fantasy. I don't want a silly korean, or western MMO.

    My perfect MMORPG:

    - Final Fantasy's storyline and jobs
    - WoW's party dynamics and raid design
    - CoH's deep character customization
    - TOR's player character storylines and possibly the companion system

    That being said, I am optimistic to how this will all turn out, but I am anxious to try out the new battle system relative to my current job (PLD). There's still room for concern on my part, as I've yet to see what 2.0's dev team's take on Red Mage would be. The seemingly forced level caps in dungeons is also a downer and cause for concern as well. Kinda breaks even for now.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
    Red Mage - COMPLETE (https://tinyurl.com/y6tsbnjh), Chemist - Second Pass (https://tinyurl.com/ssuog88), Thief - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/vdjpkoa), Rune Fencer - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/y3fomdp2)
