Seriously give the game time?

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

yeah, its easier to push out stuff when your graphics requirements are in the toilet and everything is cookie cutter and you dont gotta do ANY extra stuff on the side
all the need to do is content, they have nothing else to work on

Things coming up in FFXIV in the next few updates

1) More Side Quest
2) More Guild Task
3) More Nms
4) Companys
5) Whole new battle system

That there looks like a content update me, so we are on month 4 now of FFXIV (people say it came out in sept all they want but it is a new team taking the game in a new direction). As other said Cata is in month 6, ffxiv under Yoshi-P is in month 4 and from the looks of the steam we are picking up on companys and the lore stuff they are adding the big updates should not be far off.

Thing they confirmed they are working on but have no time line yet:

1) New Zones
2) Instances
3) Dungeons
4) Quest
5) Armory System Changes
6) Class Changes

All in all if you cannot wait, then quit. Atm the last thing square needs to do is rush out garbage... enough mmos out there that do it already.

I want them to not rush the PS3 release. If they need a year or two to get things in order then by all means. I hope the higher ups learned from the rushed PC release and wait til it's ready.

Yeah I just can't understand how people don't see, them talking about adding companies and a new battle system in 1.18 and 1.19 is fast for a natural disaster which effected their area and gave them rolling black outs (self imposed but still this is real!), and even before that they dealt with a complete team overhaul where even if you weren't let go from the team you still were given a new job with a new task and you on top of that they had to sort out what the previous team was doing before they can even begin to change anything. If you can't see their speed in having to deal with this, you should see you can't compare this to an mmo that has a stable work environment with a stable team of developers.

not to mention summer in japan is nasty. so id expect small shut downs so the workers can have ac on ocassion. A news thing said japan should be back to normal by novembe or december. Least if stuff goes well. Oh and wow cata was announced basicaly welk wrath was 6 mths or something. so they was working on it for a while.

Fact is game is crap and is going to stay that way for ten more years at this rate.

60% of the forumers here are over exaggerating xD

I see what you did there....(Y)

Perhaps throwing out the word 'compromise' into this topic will get some kind of response....

To each their own I suppose

And the thing is its still the same with SE fanboys. They're so blind and can't face reality. They keep saying WoW is a bad game or they don't want this to be a wow clone. Look the thing is and i realize that you will deny it as it is your nature, WoW beats xiv in every possible way. Blizzard doesn't take a month to add a UI change. SE takes a month to add one small UI change like this for example, Mobs will now have red near there name which indicates aggro.

Look guys I want this game to succeed, but with a fanbase like the people in this thread xiv is doomed forever due to the stupidity :P of everyone who disagree's with me. Now I realize you may disagree with me, but once again your just all in denial :P don't worry though it happens to all of us. One day you'll realize that xiv for a 2011 mmo is absolutely dreadful. I mean Rift had a solid launch it started with end game and everything and its amazing. Yet XIV which has been out almost a year can't even release a mount system. If they have trouble releasing something as simple as mounts then wheres the promise they'll be able to actually add content fast enough when the actual end game comes out? Also this is why I think SE should just close xiv and start over. Make a game that looks like Aion and has beautiful terrain. Graphics don't make a game beautiful the terrain and the open world does. WoW looks 1000x better then xiv will anyday.

Anyways Like I was saying if its been 7months and the team still can't add something like mounts how do you expect them to release end game content fast enough for people to enjoy when everyone finishes it? Once again the main problem with the developers making this game was the graphics they had. They pushed it to the limit so now its hard to add new things. They got to scratch it entirely if they want any hope of reviving their name which actually died before 14, but we'll get into that matter another day.
