Seems that new game smell is wearing off a little bit

[atomicdeath]

As you guys may or may not have noticed, all the excited threads about a new final fantasy MMO are dying out, and being replaced with the stuff from the beta boards.

Some people will continue to defend this game with their life forever. But the flaws or shortcuts this game has will make it short lived.

I dont know how they can really fix this stuff, because they have already went too far.

Too much button spam.
Too many useless spam quests for a sliver of xp.
Summoner has to be an inside joke at SE on all summoner fans.
All equipment binds.
There is still no auction house. The market board is not good enough. Why cant we buy just one out of a stack?
Archer / bard just doesnt make any sense. A harp bow... really?
Item repairs arent as bad as they used to be, i still hate em tho.
The armory system is just bad, and it screws over the jobs attached to them.
Equipment stats are boring.

Seems there is just alot of half assed design decisions, that may or may not have anything to do with the PS3.

So what you're saying is, you don't like the game. That's fine. Can we have your stuff?

All I've noticed are people enjoying the game, or being super pissy because they can't play the game they're enjoying.

Naa, what im saying is, they are continuing to ruin the FF franchise, and adding to the dumbing down of MMO's in general.

And what we're saying is, we don't agree.

This one would like to point out that this game is one of the most difficult it has played in several years. The level 35-50 dungeons quests are as difficult as 16 man Hard Mode Kephess was in SWTOR easily. This one agrees with the preceeding posters, if one does not enjoy this game, please open a space for someone who will, as there are 3 million of them.

all of these are completely asinine and, tbh, can hardly be called real problems with the game that completely ruin the experience. some of them aren't even real problems, just a matter of your personal preference clashing with the game.

i'll give you the bit about equipment stats, though. they are fairly boring, but i'm hopeful it's something they'll address in the future.

You either havnt played summoner, or havnt been reading those threads.

All I've really seen is people wanting the AI for the summon's tweaked a bit, at least with scholar.

OP, thank you for sharing your opinion, but it's just that... opinion. If you want to share your opinion AND want people to actually consider it as anything more than whiny prattle then take long enough to consider and propose some solutions to what you don't like. Otherwise it comes across as "I don't like this but I'm not sure what I would like" ... which makes you look like an idiot or someone who complains just to complain. In reality these kinds of posts make it harder for the truly constructive threads to accomplish anything.

With summoner, people are disappointed with the the size, shape and usefulness of the avatars in comparison to all the other final fantasy games.

And people were expecting comparable summons to previous single player Final Fantasy games why exactly? One does not simply, willy nilly summon a full-size Ifrit to wander in and use Hellfire in an MMO environment. They created a smaller, more reasonable replacement that could understandably be used by larger portions of a given world's population. Essentially baby summons. Not everyone can be a Rydia, Garnet, Eiko, or Yuna.
