How pysched are you about ARR?

[Firon]

I can't wait for 2.0. It's gonna be a lot of fun.

[Maxwell]

I'm psyched. Couldnt care less about lack of proper advertising. Up to now stuff they released all points toward fulfilled promises.

[Xatsh]

I am looking forward to it but I am extremely worried about it as well. A lot of good things, alot of things which have failed for countless mmos before.

Even if this game is great in ARR if there is not enough interest to get a solid player based to last another 5-6yrs at least I will probally have to go else where. No reason to invest time into a game which will die... the regional divide is going to make this much worse.. SE going to need 150-300k NA players alone to make the game not look dead in the region, I highly doubt that will happen.

Whether or I not I continue completely depends on the playerbase honestly... which is not good.

SE has alot of work ahead of them, honestly I do not think they know how the majority of NA gamers see SE and the FF franchise as a joke now. They are no longer viewed as the flagship of the RPG series. SE needs to drop 10s of millions into advertising, I do not see it happening at all.

been awhile since i been on forum... i see the personal crying opinions are still in play, but more aggressiveness as we get closer to server down. Keep it up everyone...

[fusional]

anyone who has completed Rivenroad (Hard) should be sufficiently impressed with what a barebones dev crew has been able to produce on an overly restrictive timeframe using a broken client and woefully inefficient engine and coding architecture.

if they can show the same level of execution in ARR, it should be very promising. and that's not even addressing how great the concept art looks.

if people want more flash and bang in-game, they likely don't seem to realize just how few people are working on producing content for a dead client. have some perspective.

if people want more info about ARR, they're spoiled. you're still a good 4-6 months away from launch. if you need OMGZ SO MANY INFOS to stay interested in the game, you may have ADHD and should probably get another hobby or three. come back when more info is available. in the meantime, you won't be missed.

flail harder, friends. this forum definitely needs two dozen more of this exact thread. yyyyyep. definitely what it needs.

when will you ever get tired of repeating yourselves? and why? for attention?

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! It's never been said better.
I think the devs are going crazy with a community like this. No wonder why they want to please the wow community lol

Hate to break this to you, but SE isn't a non-profit doing this to increase world happiness.
They are a business in it for the money.
So people completely have a right to complain about a sub-par product, and most people -have- left.

And if your idea is "well people who don't like it should leave" you will end up with no FFXIV since it will cost more to maintain the servers than the few fanboys sticking around will pay in monthly fees.

You can't call someone an entitled crybaby since this is a game in a CAPITALISTIC MARKET where people are ENTITLED to a product WORTH THEIR MONEY.

Don't like that concept? go to North Korea

Ill be honest I really dont think 2.0 will survive beyond 1 year. I will give it a try but the direction Yoshi is taking the game is not something I am looking forward too. The fact is instead of going above and beyond like SE use to they are just shooting for a standard MMO and we all know there are plenty out there. Some players say this a new generation of MMO's but in fact its not about being the 2nd generation MMO its all about give it to me now, dont wanna work for anything or have competition, it comes down to players just wanting everything NOW, w/o any of the long term goals, w/o any work, these players just want everything handed to them. All in all I am not impressed with what they have done and lets not forget they could have done things much much better.

Yeah, let's not lay down a basic foundation and then work on innovation after that! That worked out nicely for FFXIV 1.0, didn't it?

From 1 to 10? 4ish. Might change during the testing.

Subtle. I chuckled.
