How pysched are you about ARR?

[Elexia]

most of them seem to be oldschool FFXI veterans "oooh i want to have my grind game back .... i want to have old fashioned unfluent gameplay.. hours of fighting..." etc *flame flame*

so retarded.

You're targeting people who played MMOs before 2002/2003 if you're talking about "old school grinds."

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

I'm psyched. What Ive seen so far looks interesting. Not knowing the full scope of the game and the dynamics it's hard to get a good gauge on it. It seems like theres new stuff that will make it interesting but also things are the from other MMOs. Understanding that other MMOs are the competition and they have to be able to meet or exceed the aspects of those MMOs to win players over i can understand, from a business perspective. As a player, im fine with some aspects of other MMOs being adopted as long theres enough originality to make it fall in lines with the FF series of games. I wish more was released but to be honest, my opinion is they are on the bottom level of average for information released. So it leaves some to be desired but really cant complain too much.

Made much shorter, I have my hopes up. It looks interesting and like it may be something great, but im also hesitant. I am excited and psyched, but im not holding my breath too much this time around. I just hope they pull it off and make something we can be happy with.

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?

right? i've played a lot of MMOs and i've never seen as many entitled crybabies as i have in these forums. makes me sick.

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.

[Gerrr]

I am excited!

This game has had its problem but it is the game I choose to play for many reasons. I think prospects for the long-term look good and the fact that there is a 2.0 says there is enough resources and interest available at the dev. level to keep it going strong for years.

Final Fantasy as a brand will stay strong. The story they continue to tell has resonance.

If they can strike a good balance between different types of content and understand that the game will need more interesting battle mechanics and sophisticated side-activities to thrive in the future, then I'm on board.

I had written a big post about the potential for the game to move past its "standard mmo" stage that they're bringing the game to, and the possibility that they'll use that as a starting point and make the game into a proper FF mmo, but I know it'll fall on deaf ears.

Well, I'd like to hear it.

its a business alright and if you products suck your not gonna make any money. its that simple.

[Thunderz]

Excited about what?

The only thing we know that is confirmed is Jump and a new engine everything else is not confirmed at launch and we have no solid information about it

hell we don't know how they are changing gameplay (for the better) we just know its different

We have no video's of the new content
We still don't know what is the 2nd job they are suppose to be working on for 2.0 (and will probably make it on release)

I am not hyped for 2.0 I am concerned

I hope they take a year to work on this game so it actually comes out "READY"
