Infos on the Real game Direction? WHEN?!

[ShinigamiKayla]

The impatient people should invest in other activities while they wait.

Here's a suggestion:



Right now, this game has me wishing I had MORE time before beta started. lol

i beat it 4 times completely already since it came out... and I mean completely...

Impressive. But I was speaking of those who were complaining and didn't have the game yet. I just got the game for Christmas myself. And I'm not even halfway done with the quests that come with the friggin game, not to mention the quests you can mod into the game. Plus I have way too much else to do in the day. My daily plate is full, lol.

I beat it twice now, only thing left to do is get my alchemy to 100, than I'm done everything in the game, having some issues getting giant toe's tho.... takes for ever to get enough toe's to skill up my alchemy, currently sitting at level 72 alchemy.

I agree with u dragonheart, I'd like to know the main idea of many systems they have planned

And again, today we got the same letter that says to wait without any real info on the game.

I'd like to know when the real infos will be out...

Scoops like Behemoth skin for the chocobo, pet, music, and 3d models are nice..

But it's time to know the real infos on what we will have at release, i'm not asking to know everything, but i want to know, wich will be the BASIC foundations of the game? These are supposed to be the first infos to give when an MMO is announced imho.


Wich direction will take the game?


How PvE endgame will be structured? Hard modes switch? Big raids like Crystal tower and Bahamut labyrinth will be also for 16 - 8 men party? (Any other mmo gives a partecipant switch on raids, 24+ men instanced content are dieing in WoW too, people prefer 10 ppl max party, while the large scale open PvE like dynamic events/ Boss is ok for 25+ ppl). Ranking ? Info on summoning system? Job system revamp? Characters customization like builds, specs ?(one of the greatest XIV problem is the characters clones.. 0 customization... )

How about PvP? How it will be structured?
How many partecipant? it will be a realm vs realm? ranking? castles to conquest? Vehicles?

We are in almost beta, and we still don't know anything, oh nvm, we got ONE artwork!

Oh and in Beta 4 (so just right before the release) there will be the coliseum testing...
But.. Frontlines??! They will not be released at day1 i suppose... but the testing? PvP requires a lot of testing and balance, maybe more than PvE ... Meh, i'm not a PvP man, but i'm still worried.

Also for both PvE and PvP , confirmation about a PTR server? (I don't want to see Garuda bugs again like overkill or shooting from behind the rocks...)

Also i'm worried on a lot of announced things not present at release..
Housing? Shortly after the release! Frontlines? *wind sound* Chocobo raising and customization? Not at release. Shiva? Same. Vanity slot feature? Not at release.. and the list would be much longer.. I really don't know what to expect at release so..

I think it's about time for these informations, what do you think guys?

Fair enough.

My question to you then is this. If FFXIV:ARR gains and keeps all the FFXI and FFXIV 1.0 players that ever played as paying subscribers, would you consider it a success?

That certainly would be a desired result! But Yoshi P has made it clear that he wants to appeal to a wider audience. If he only attracted former FF players, he wouldn't have accomplished that goal.

P.S. And as an FF player, I want to feel more comfortable recommending the game to non-FF friends. It was a very uncomfortable few years playing, when I loved the game, but at the same time had little pride in it. That sort of mixed feeling is exhausting!
