Game dumbed Down a little to much

Mistress it is good to see you still engaged in discussions, and soon you will be seeing a character of mine on your server.^^

Tanaka had a much, much better vision for the game; unfortunately, the implementation was rather poor (well, I still think it was due to rushing, but there's no way to know for sure). I came to ARR hoping to see 1.0 done right. What I found instead was a generic MMORPG casserole with a picture of FFXIV plastered over top of it like some derranged kind of video game Leatherface.

THEY TERK ER DPS!!!

Oh noes, god forbid we have a system in place that rewards synergy and working in concert with your party members. 1.0 actually had a newer version of the SC system called Battle Regimens, but it got scrapped due to all kinds of technical bugs. I for one would love to see it come back to add an extra layer of strategy. I also really miss being able to break/disable body parts on NMs to cripple them, like breaking Ifrit's Horns to weaken him in Extreme Mode (1.23) or Chimera's tail to block his old poison attack.

No i think you MISUNDERSTAND true ff fans,
They are the ones that started on the nes, remember that first game , the game that was hard? where you couldn't save in dungeons, the game where you could die if you didn't pay attention?
Remember FFV the game that had a story where Important npc's died around the corner?
Remember FFVI? VII?VIII? all those games? X, XII
Now tell me, in which way this FF reskined WOW CLONE has something to do with those games?
This game is for cassual FF posers that caim they are fans,
This will be ftp in 2 years max

lawls...ok
