Thoughts from a casual

A saving grace that will cause ARR to not be as great as it could be? I don't consider the ps3 a saving grace at all.
I consider it a burden.
So many limitations we have to deal with now because they want to make a ps3 release.

Fact is they've been beating the console vs pc horse since '03. Yoshida promised Sony it would happen, it's happening, let's move passed that.

Someone make it stop... Please?

No, this is a XIV thread that uses XI as a reference to point out a lack of spark, a certain something that XIV is missing that XI had.

So either learn to read and understand the context before posting, or just don't post if you have nothing constructive to add to the dicussion at hand. It's pretty simple, even for a simple mind.

No, this is a XIV thread that uses XI

exactly.

I know this is a late reply. Use the search tool. you and the op will find similar thread topics of this matter. Thus its another thread of the same xi topic..

Keep in mind, this doesn't mean that I don't agree with what is being discussed in the thread. What I have to say on the matter has already been said in previous thread topics.

Soloing pets and certain mobs was a great way to xp. I could solo or duo kill chains of pets, for massive XP.. If you knew how to solo it was just as good, or better than any party. Put an XP ring into the equation and you'd get XP so high, people didn't believe you when you told them.
But FFXIV isn't out yet. So let's see what they give us aye.

Casual vs power gamer is the balance factor that no MMO has figured out.

Anything casual friendly gets torn apart by power gamers, anything power gamer gets avoided like a plague by casuals.

In terms of grouping, it always breaks down to 2 of this, 2 of that and one of this and one of those and all of a sudden people are asking if they belong in that group. EVE had the alternative and we called those blobs, where simply piling as many people on to the screen as possible was the I-Win button. I'm not sure what the solution is.
