Seriously give the game time?

You do know there is an ffxiv configure in the SE game file and can lower the graphics. It looks pixilated, but it runs better. I turned most my stuff down, background looks pixilated but game runs pretty well. And I'm playing on a non gaming laptop. If you ever played tomb raider 2 on the ps2, it looks like that with all the settings down. If you don't mind that, game runs great. Plus you also have the in game settings. I got my background on rge lowest, and my foreground on a middle setting and looks great. And runs well, might down my foreground a bit to run it better but really no complaints here.

Other then that, from my 6 hours in game I love it. I like the Story in LL, I love the cs animations .My fav character is the Marauder Elizen(sp) leader... (eye candy ftw) I love playing marauder, and I love using cross class abilities. I use Fire spell on my Marauder.

Games who launch with endgame really do not do well in the long run. Players rush through and beat it, get bored and quit between update

Woot Kilta plays now!!! Finally we won't hear the 'Kilta's opinion doesn't matter, she/he's not playing the game' comments. Welcome onboard Kilta!

I'm looking forward to the changes that are coming down the pipe line. The OP makes some good points. Things like a delivery system should have been there from day 1. I'm patient though. If all sides work together we can make XIV great.

All of you miss my point :x its inevitable though. You guys are blind to the reality of things :X. Yoshi p taking a whole month to add something as simple as UI changes and you think the game can be fixed at this rate? :P well then good luck ^^.

no we got the point. We also know their working conditions suck atm. Just to let us play. No one here is really blind. But they are working on they game. It does take time to build and recode changes. Though the has been out since september, the new dev team haven't ben working on it long.

5 months is not a short period of time in the MMO Industry...... Just look at WOW, released cata later than FFXIV, just released a content patch.

WoW doesn't have to recreate a game from the ground up.
WoW didn't have to deal with an earthquake.
WoW's graphical detail isn't as complex or taxing as XIV's.
WoW is specifically for the PC while XIV has to keep the PS3 in mind.
WoW has had 5-6 months from cata release and where probably planning the content release for a long time, Yoshi has had 3-4 months to completley re-structure the game.
WoW has a lot more room for freedom of development due to it's high popularity.
WoW bleh blee bloo blah blah.

Ostia is just trolling on every forum they post on, I mean not troll..since even trolls know the difference between a 2004 established MMORPG and a 2010 rushed MMO in the process of redesigning.

Again, the problem with people like you is that you don't understand development. It takes time.. a lot of time. The way MMOs combat this is while they've launched a game their plans for development and implementing future content is being worked on. So, let's say a new MMO launches, and 5-6 months after that you get an instanced dungeon. That was already being worked on since the game went active.

FFXIV does not have this luxury. Instead of having content and systems being worked on since it's very pitiful launch, it started a lot later when the new team was put together, mostly.

If you understand even the basics of development you would actually be impressed at the rate they are going. Clearly, your extreme opinion is born out of ignorance, but that is fine. One less loud mouthed minority rage quitting who hasn't the slightest clue on how well they are doing under the circumstances.

ff14 just switched developer teams and WOW is crap..... cough.
