I agree

[Jibe]

Long live the trolls!

I disappointed with the patch too though....

[Verecund]

Yeah... I think Skyrim will probably end this game for me O.O

Well, the changes to sidequest mob exp and synthesis are great!

As for giving us the option to revert the targeting mode--I hope this means they're still trying to figure out how to make it better. I like how other games, like WoW, actually use different keys to target friendly/enemy targets, it would be neat if SE did something similar. Even if it's Tab to target enemies, Ctrl+Tab to target friendly, or let us set our own in the keybinding options.

BS what they have planned atm simply isnt enough they are moving tooooo slow with too few of the real issues being addressed 1st... screw companys, fix the damn class system and battle system make it where you can have exp partys with your friends.
Doing leves to you reach the limit then crafting till they repop is freakin weak, i havent seen any difference with devo team changes or producer its the same crap... they are ignoring the fans and doing their own thing

Do you honestly think they are not working on anything else at the same time as these patches. They already said they are redoing the entire battle system and even looking at classes, they are also redesigning the zones. All of that is going to take time.

The battle system changes are going to be spread over 2 monthly updates so they are not going to be little tweaks here and there.

All they are doing atm is fixing the core of the game, which is what they need to do. They are saving content for the PS3 release, basically the game is in beta now and they will drip feed us the minimal amount of content they have to so they can save as much as they possible can for the PS3 launch.

SE just had a poll for the combat system and class uniqueness is being worked on as we speak, did you not catch that?
They even said, in two months they plan to roll out the battle changes, i don't understand what you're complaining about.

Stop being impatient, they're literally working on what you're talking about as we speak. You've seen the polls, the letters from the developer, they are absolutely NOT ignoring the fans. In fact, they're paying closer attention to them than most of the developers of the games you regularly play.
It's the fans who keep giving them mixed signals, so many people asking different things that usually conflict with each other, it can't be easy having a bunch of impatient players who feel entitled to CREATING the game for some reason.

If anything, they should start ignoring the fans a little, maybe then they could focus on what they think would be best, instead of gathering ideas from fans who don't even really know what they want in the first place.

Your post, I agree with, but I'm going to have to nit pick just a tad.It reads that they were (at the time of the interview) releasing battle changes during these next upcoming patches over the span of two months. Not in two months. Of course, that is all delayed now.

Back on topic, yes, there is a lot out there to contend with offline and online, but the point of it is to point out that there are possibly superior games coming. In the end, what is it all for? To discourage what FFXIV can be when all of the patches are cohesive in the end and it goes to pay to play? I understand what the OP is trying to do, but is he in or is he out? The answer is obvious.

He has a right to bring up these issues, but you have to look at the circumstance. FFXIV is at the inferior status currently compared to what is out there. The new development team is trying to correct this and no one knows if it will be corrected or if it wont be. Just have to wait and see before you pass judgments. Doing it now could very well be pointless when all the plans are implemented. I am cautious just like the rest of you guys, but I choose to not be the loud mouth in the end eating his words.

As much as I want this game to succeed I logged on after the severs came on, dreaded doing more leves and behests and logged out. There are many quality games coming out SE, Bethesda alone will be a juggernaut in 2011 with 3 triple AAA titles coming out, they are lucky Elder Scrolls didn't go MMO this year.

Guild Wars 2 will be huge...the only people ignoring the popularity of Guild Wars are the ones who tout "too much instancing!!" "Only 20 levels!!"" Yah well that didn't stop millions upon millions of players to flock to GW during it's hey day.......

I've lived through the destruction of Warhammer Online and Vanguard Saga of Heroes...please SE don't let me watch this game crumble also.

Fanboys will claim that FF has too large of a fanbase to not succeed but so did SWG and look what happened to it.

This game severly needs much more content that it has. I'm fine with the mechanics but we need more diversions than just leveling up, joining behests and doing leves that gets repetetive and boring quick....

We need Unique areas....
Raid content for every 10 levels...
PVP

MMO's are more enjoyable when you have multiple things too do in the game. One day you do this then you do that but your doing things that are enjoyable. It's true this game is geared towards the Asian MMo player...lots of grind and a deep UI numbers and flashy things...it's not going well in NA I can't even find a reliable NA linkshell...

this game is going nowhere fast.
