did we ever get a flood of information?

[Lurex]

98% of the info we have received was already pretty obvious or they already told us. WoWHD you can have this, besides the job system that's the only thing different I see from GW2, WoW, and every other mmo out there.

I wouldn't say "Only" thing different, because the other major difference from those games that you mention is that it is a FF title with FF fans to follow. Whether or not they will even be on board with ARR remains to be seen. Don't expect much.

Oooo FF title! Let me just slap Final Fantasy on WoWs cover, there ya go, FF title. Just because it has FF elements(cheap ones mind you, instead of getting creative, they just looked at past ff games.) doesn't make it live up to FF11 standards.

This team has no creativity, period.

Even the first Final Fantasy borrowed ideas from Dragon Quest, and other games that were inspired by D&D which was inspired by Tolkien and so on and so on.

Ok, the devs have been really quiet, for like, a few weeks now. Give us something already =/

Idc, i'd rather them be busy working on the game than PR material.

ALMOST made a serious response to that post. Then noticed it's Rokien. Moving on...

as for the "expected flood" i would prefer the Dev team focus on making the game rather than pander to the whims of the forum. They will release more info in due process, i think Yoshi is smart for not releasing info on stuff untill he feels it is ready. if he released information for the sake of information then when they changed or tweaked it, the forums would go into another frenzy.

it seems thats all this forum does, fizz like a shaken bottle of pop. With the exceptions of a few level headed posters.

most of the problems people are going crazy over comes from limited information. they state they are changing something and are vague and only give partial information and people jump to conclusions both good and bad and then neither is happy when they get more details because they already have their minds set on what they expected.

if they want to give info it needs to be alot more precise than "we plan on changing this, but i can't tell you more information now" because that leads to debates and speculation and then anger when they find out they were wrong.

I might go so far as to say that people do not complain because they were given vague information upon which they built false expectations but rather that vague information is given to people because they complain which leads them to build false expectations.
