Just my thoughts about the game! Feel free to discuss!

-Server Stability
In beta p3, I honestly did not have any problems with thegame. However, in p4 I did get locked out pretty early because of the infamous 3102 error. I must say I was disappointed but I do realize that it was a p4 and things do bug out. The thing I was mostly disappointed in p4 was lack of communication from SE. From what I recall it took them about 2 days to respond to 3102 and 90k error, which left people in blind. In early access, I was very disappointed at the company. Having the server fall apart and doing about 5 maintenances was very unprofessional from SE. They should have known how many people preordered and having major server issue from p4 they would be prepared for this. However, servers did fall and a lot of people could not enjoy EA as much as others. I’m sure they had their reasons but, I can safely say that we expected better. Hopefully with coming server expansions and fixes next week it will totally get better and everyone can enjoy the game!

-Video restrictions
I am not really following this topic as closely as I should, but from my understanding I think SE is making a mistake by having NDA throughout p4 and EA. I would assume having people stream and making youtube videos are pretty much free advertisement for their game and company. The game was pretty much done for release, so why not make people advertise it for you for free? I guess they had their server problems but people who were playing without problem could stream and many people could watch and have the interest to play. For example, Blizzard’s new TCG “Hearthstones” have a lot of attention due to famous streamers playing the game. This is free publicity. What I remember, any publicity is good publicity.
Also check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDEoi5EQALw for what is the future of videos for FF14. I found it very interesting.

-UI changes?
This is just my wishing thinking about new features that could be added to the game.
- Inventory management
- Item link on chat/preview of item model
- Instant skills being instant rather than having 1 secondish delay
- Able to talk to NPC while mounted
I’m sure there are many more things that people want changed but those are few things I really want. <3
So there you go. My long post of rambling, the good things and bad things about the game. I’m sure there are things people do agree and disagree, let me know on comments what you think. I would love a good discussion!
