Dear Mr.HNM Yoshi

[Randis]

did it ever occure to do yoshida is a "casual" players... he plays ffxiv not cuz he is a producer but as a player. remember yoshida is a big mmo players and obviously a casual player.

would like to know what MMO he was playing.

[Zenaku]

this is getting redundent. Like I keot saying no one is going to be happy with the game that "hardcore" players are being to stubborn blaming the "casuals".

so by insulting the casuals your infact insulting him as well.
Sorry but if I was leading a game design and someone insulting me, they sure as heck be lucky they still play the game. :3 and thats my nice way of saying it.

I'm for one not insulting no one casual players are limiting hardcore players game play. If only casual meet us in the middle but guess what they don't and don't really care the game be easy but at least toss us a bone as hardcore and not make it easy later because casual ended up liking it so they end up making our stuff easy so they can do.

If yoshi-p does what he say two system one casual and one hardcore then at the end no one really going to do the hardcore version because they be doing casual one and we all have to do it with them because we wont have enough players to do it with

Dear SE give us Tanaka back Yoshi-p is a joke am sorry i was hoping you could help out the game but you made this even more casual then wow.

getting 1-20 rank is a joke not even WoW is that quick not even with Full dam BoA.

This is not Casual game this is Casual"Casual oh look i have 1hour to play let me kill a NM do a behest and maybe i have time to do leves -.-

Wait, you want the guy that produced a not even close to finished game?
The guy that stepped down of his own choice instead of fixing his mess?

/Sigh

>_> I think you should have done a little bit of research before you started complaining.

[Blair]

hm.. I think even after all these complain(mostly from hardcore player),
SE will still prioritize by changing battle system, fix bug, and causal player content. To be ready for ps3 release for easier access by new player, they can't have any mistake this time so they need to start from the bottom.

SE will probabaly add most of the end-game content when they're going to charge monthly fee from old player.

It makes sense for a SE to do so. But this really pis a lot of rank50 player in this whole process.

People need to stop expecting some kind of huge strategic fight until after the combat changes. They are talking about revamping major aspects of combat and what might be challenging now might turn into a joke when they change the combat. Then what?

It's a better idea to implement low-midlevel (where difficulty isn't as big of a deal) stuff prior to combat changes and then work on difficult strategic battles once the combat changes are in and they have something to balance content around.

Tweak it when the time comes and keep your current, dwindling player base occupied? What's so difficult with that. They already had to tweak them cutting the group size in half with the current "endgame" NM's.

They're keeping me occupied. The game failed because people didn't stick around because the low-midlevels weren't grabbing people. I'm intentionally not capping my jobs because I realize this, and the content they are putting in is actually challenging for me. I tried soloing Unknown Soldier last night for my thaumaturge weapon and I died, it was surely doable but it was late and didn't keep trying.

Typically people who grind new MMOs to level cap find themselves bored out of their minds. These MMOs grab people in the low-mid levels which allows the devs to focus more on end game with the first few patches. This is not the case for FFXIV, they need to grab new players. If they focus on appeasing the level 50s solely then all the people who are hanging in the balance (like me) wont have anything to pull back in. Everyone playing right now isn't rank 50.

I am thoroughly enjoying these patches and, especially 1.17. I have a feeling I'll be playing a lot more than I have in the past in the coming weeks to collect all the class specific gear I want and see all the new quests they put in.

Ladies and gentlemen, we got a winner! I am so glad we have people like you that actually understand what Square Enix is trying to do. The rest is just crying and being selfish because they don't have anything to do .... since they rushed to 50 in an unfinished game and now they have nothing to measure their e-peens with.
