When is SquareEnix going to start making the game?

[Galamantyl]

Another one that doesn't seem to get the basic notion that time is quite a determining factor in game development...

...And needs to open just another thread on it, cause he feels that his "complaints" are so special that they deserve their own thread.

PS: Wow didn't invent raid dungeons. Mind you, WoW didn't even invent wow-like raid dungeons.

My "complaint" had nothing to do with development time. I have not seen any threads in this forum posing the question: When is SquareEnix going to be making this game? Because right now, as it stands, all they're doing is letting players design the game for them.

When is SquareEnix going to be making this game? Because right now, as it stands, all they're doing is letting players design the game for them.

As far as I'm aware, every core feature is still being designed by them and our opinion is largely irrelevant, at least when it comes to the big picture. UI aside, perhaps, but that one is justified.

Combat, class system, content... this is all according to Yoshida's vision, not ours. And if Yoshida's vision is to make a game he thinks players will enjoy, can you blame him for that? That's what every game developers' ultimate goal should be, even if their approach may differ.

agree

it's time to stop adjust some little values

rebuild the core mechanic now!!

I agree. I want something to do in a game other than one quest copy pasted all over the copy pasted terrain.

Yes, I'm trying to be honest.
I was searching a game with flexible classes, without istances, a good story, nice music, and others.
Now I dont' know where this FF will end, but if I notice changes and I don't like them, I'll quit, with or without chocobos, airships, bahamut, tifa's boobs and whatever is called "final fantasy".

I can agree... Chocobo's aren't the deal maker/breaker people are making them out to be... but how could you not love the guys... *waark* * Kweh*

I think at this point Chocobos are not the deal breaker, but for some it would keep them just a bit longer. If i don't have anima I'm not loggin in, I'm just gonna regain anima, eff walking in a world with dreary landscape. I can only use my hermes shoes once a day for 30 mins, after those quickboots are gone, its anima time, or I'm falling asleep tying to walk my ass to Camp Tranquil from Grid. If they don't have real content in mind, or their real content is far away, they should think about stupid tricks like this that might keep people the extra months it takes to make content.

What they need are a few time syncs on the side that don't involve leveling a class IMO

See that would have not be a problem if it was FFXI, i really enjoy walking from sandy too the dunes for a party. It was a fun and i enjoy it. Problem is now FFXIV have to many teleports everywhere it really is a lazy way to go around the world. why not just cut down some of the outpost and add teleport spell for mage and other fun ways to go around. Allowing everyone to teleport with anima is not fun.

You can start the game right now and someone can teleport you to a area you never been before. That should not be allow they should make it you can only teleport to this outpost if you have gone there before if not then i can just a ask a friend to teleport me to area i never been before that not right

LOL joke of the year right here. The Majority has spoken with their actions and have long quit the game.

Nice Mack! Totally agree.

Ok I would assume the bulk of the content we're all waiting for is in the next patch. In fact, I'll take bets on this now - 1M gil says next patch we see battle changes and the one after it (i.e., 1.18a) we see companies, any takers?

[YUGON]

You know... they are re-designing the WHOLE battle system, and that Yoshida-san said in his last letter, it will be a "JOB" system??

This takes time... it takes more time, re-do, that do a system. If you don't want to play, don't do it, but the ones that are still there, hoping, and cheering SE to do their best, are the only ones that can complain, If we need to.

I don't mind how much time they take to re-do the game, just do it right.
