Predictions for future of FFXIV

[Eldaena]

I also bet that FFXIV introduces an automatic dungeon finder. Players congregate in town while they are put in a queue for the dungeon, and eventually the game becomes an entrance lobby rather than an MMO.

I predict that Ishgard does not open directly after the battle patch as promised. I predict it opens in the final quarter of 2012.

I predict we don't get a new UI that was promised for february 2012 until february 2013.

First, Ishgard wasn't promised to be opened right after the battle patch. Nothing like that was ever promised. (Aka they mentioned they'd like to get it going after they have the battle system sorted.) Also, even if it would take that long for the UI, hopefully it would be done right this time. You know they are working on several aspects of this game all at the same time. It takes time to do things right, so please be patient and give them that. I can understand frustration around them releasing the game too soon, but everyone has had over half a year to move on from that. You don't have to keep playing the game right now if you can't stand it. Come back after some time and maybe it'll be more like you want it to be.


Edit: I also find it odd that this is your thread and your thoughts about the future of ffxiv were not posted in the first post. It's like you wanted it to appear that you were interested in other people's input on the idea, but you could barely contain what you wanted to say about it since you started posting on the second page, lol. Just something I found a little amusing. ^^;
