Best game ever

[AjoraOak]

Outside of the game being generally unplayable for many and down as much as up so far...

The game is incredibly generic. The questing is mindless and easy. It's the same thing as any WoW clone made even more generic and easy. Everything about this game is simplified beyond the already simple WoW clone template, at least initially.

A game doesn't need to be complex to be good, obviously, but there needs to be something going on that presents challenges and causes any measureable brain activity? No...gaming that's on par with watching TV is desired? I weep.

The game has potential that can't be measured right now since you can barely play. A in, hopefully it gets better the further in you get because cute and easy really doesn't cut it.

Calling this the greatest game ever seems both premature and pretty much silly.

You must not play very many games and/or you have very low standards and expectations.

People should realize leveling is completely mindless compared to FFXI/even WoW, when they notice you just hop from fate to fate while you ignore quests typically and hardly try to even think other than pressing an AoE key.

I'm astonished they even had the balls to make EXP more like WoW/GW2 than its own predecessor but obviously when the path of least resistance to 50 is just popping some aoes on fate mobs then you can't expect much thrill.

Agreed! Keep up these positive forum posts, people are so negative for NO REASON! We can only go up and I did not wait years for this to come out just to bitch and leave in 24 hours of rough server stuff LOVE ARR! Keep it up Yoshi and team, appreciate all that you do for us!

Signed. Best game ever. Serious.

Landed in Tonberry during P4, there were too many people, and surprisingly no lag! But just too many people for my taste, because FATE quest becomes too easy when there's too many players. Created characters starting in Ul'dah and Limsa Limosa.
Then during EA, decided to try out legacy server Masamune for fewer newbie rush, created a CNJ starting in Gridania...Ooooohhhhhh~~~the beauty...the music is so good, the scenery is marvelous, the owner of adventurer guild and leader of Twin Adder are both gorgeous too! Gridania forever!!!!

Combat-wise, hear a lot of melee complaining about 2.5 GCD, but since I play mages, no complain here
Used Duty Finder without problem to complete all the Light Party quests, and used it to finished the first dungeon Sastas (??), it was great fun!
There are so many stuff to do, and so many classes to play, the cross-class skills make these even more exciting!

Many may complain this game is easy, but I read somewhere that this is intentional, to ease-in more FF series fan who may likely be totally new to MMO. Still, there are several quests where if you don't read carefully and don't follow what the NPC says, you will end up losing for sure. I am only lv18, so I look forward to a more challenging gameplay later on

I read all the quest-texts, and love the story thus far.
Voice-Over side, I use JP voice-over with EN subtitles, as JP voice-over is usually much better

All-in-all, this game is very polished, and I can't really find anything to nit-pick with, and that's rare! I have great confidence in whoever pull this off.
With all these connection/login problem around for EU/NA, he may have screwed up on the infrastructure side, in which he may not have total control, but he has my hat-off in creating such a wonderous FF game. Guess I am just lucky to have pick JP server Totally no issue, it was a blast!
It's unfortunate that those other players in NA/EU are suffering from myriads of problem...but seriously people need to cooldown, take a step back, give this game another chance when the problem is over, to see what a shining gem this game is.

i love this game, so glad i gave it a chance and came back after 1.0. A big thanks to the dev team for all their hard work!

Will be subscribing for the 90 days up front, i am that confidant i will be playing longterm.

This. I don't even know how good the game is because I can't play it right now, please tell me about your error free adventures based OP =DDDDD.

Best game ever!

Thanks Yoshi, please don't mind the negativity!

[Andrien]

Possible Game of The Year nominee?

I think so.

I've been having a blast so far in-game. Is leveling difficult? No, but there are no MMOs that do have difficult leveling.
