Seriously thinking of going back to FFXI, cuz there aint nothing happening in this game.
Come on SE...get the ball rolling...

It is... annoying

[Alcide]

Uhm... maybe because FFXI is working fine? o.O

They are redesigning everything here, from UI to Battle System, we can't expect the same amount of content than a game that has nothing to fix...

I for one going back to FFXI next month, I try out wow and dislike it and am not trying out Rift lol. So going to go back to FFXI and maybe level up BST seeing how i have 80cooking i can make my own jugs. I be trying to see what world to join for FFXIV and stay there to things get better i don't mind being low level seeing how thing going to change anyways.

So going to pay 1month of FFXI and wait for big change in FFXIV seeing how i can't stand logging in ffxiv for more then 1hour. I used to play FFXIV for 8-15hours but that when i had some good friend playing now there over at FFXI so may as well play ffxi too ffxiv get better.

they can't add anything till the battle system is changed. And since they are doing a complete rehaul it will take time. I do suggest you go play ffxi or another game a while. Let them do what is needed. Its not easy for them to work in the conditions they are in, dimmed light and no AC.

It is kind of a hard topic to discuss with all the dramatic changes, but at least the dungeon style features have been being looked into from they're list of posts, found myself playing alot of other games to fill the time after i hit 50 and explored enough , i took my time getting 50 so i generaly am only doing 2 or 3 hours a day anymore untill there is some long term goals and instanced events.

Because they don't have to fix the combat system or rebalanced all the jobs in XI like they do in XIV. Because it already has 9 years of content to hold it up.


Because the current FFXIV team is scrambling to fix cracks in the foundation before they try and shove a bunch of weight on top.

Lots of valid reasons.

I bet it hurts SEs feeling when people quit playing their free to play game and resub their pay to play game.

Our LS went back to FFXI last week and started new characters and we have been having tonnes of fun.

Having said that it's not really fair to compare the 2 content wise. SE are busy fixing the core of FFXIV at the minute so until that is done all content is on the back burner. Anything they add would only have to be adjusted for any mechanic changes they make and would create more work for them.

Once the core is fixed and they are happy with it then they can start adding the content.

I think you made the smartest post out of this entire thread.

Seriously, do people not understand Yoshida wants to fix things like the UI and Battle System before adding actual content?
