The Direction of FFXIV

[Zenaku]

This game is run by casual even the old FFXI players become casual players. Here the problem the casual players don't want to meet a meddle ground with the hardcore players this is the biggest issue. When i read about Tanaka saying this game was going to be casual it broke my heart. He said it was going to be Casual friendly but all i see is a casual game level up slow does not make a hardcore. There really is noting challenging about FFXIV "Yoshi-p" Say he a hardcore player but that can mean anything really. SE is trying to get the Casual players to try and play FFXIV question is did they forget there own fan-base that are not really that casual? sense when is 'Final Fantasy" Casual?

I just hope this game does not become a 100% Casual zone for that i'll play WoW even ffxiv is faster at level up then Wow O.o i got 1-19 in 1 leve reset that 1hour of game play. in WoW even with Boa and link account i don't think you can get 1-19 in about 1hour.

Say wha? I think it more of the hardcore players not wanting to meet the middle ground with the casual players. Most hardcore players want an EXP penalty upon death and most casual don't. A EXP penalty would hurt casual players more because they don't have tons of time to get that EXP back and knowledge about the game to avoid certain dangers like the hardcore players. The hardcore players wouldn't be affected much by the penalty because they would know with mobs to stay away from and which ones are beneficial, also they would know certain strategies.
