i think people are blind to think it really changed a lot. Only a few "hotfixes" happened and the ui is slow now, not terribly slow and some balances to SP happened. the sidequests, who, especially the first part, were even worse then leves (in terms of creativity).

But looking at the linkshells on lindblum and the population around camps, the last letter kinda destroyed a lot of the remaining hopes it seems. The June update has to be some kind of miracle... i dont believe in miracles though. but i would love to be wrong

I am waiting for 1.18 and 1.19 if there isn't s decent sized amount of content added to keep me busy then that will probably be it for me and a few others I suspect.

I've been a hardcore fan of this game from sept 22 of last year up until a week ago.

From looking at all the SW:TOR information out there on the internet I'm getting fully excited about it. It will have an amazing story experience that melds a single player game into an MMO world. PVP looks like a blast as well as PVE. The content seems well done and solid from the information revealed so far.

Looking at the latest letter from the producer it seems the only bit of info that came out of it is......... quest hubs....... Now I have nothing against quest hubs. They're fine and good and all that. But........ that was it really. Not to mention the tone of the letter seemed to indicate to me that good old Yoshi-P is tired. We didn't get the same enthusiasm in the letter that we had from him previously. The mood is definitely different.

To make a long story a bit shorter as much as I love this game and hope for it to be great (which I truly do) when SW:TOR hits it WILL take me away from ff14 permanently. This game won't improve to the point it needs to be at for me to stick. Now I know no one cares that I mention all this but it makes me really sad. I want FFXIV to be it soooo badly. I honestly feel sad looking at the situation we have. The improvements will no doubt come but the more I look at it the more I'm convinced they won't get the job done.

And I'm someone who loves this game. I'm am (was) a serious white knight fanboy until a week ago. I don't know what to say.... The FFXIV staff is taking the week off because of a holiday which to be honest I would probably do myself in their situation. But that also indicates the urgency is gone. I felt the lack of urgency in his last letter.

I hope I'm COMPLETELY wrong. But quest hubs a month from now with maybe a part of the battle system leads me to believe the roll out of needed additions to get this game to where it needs to be won't come until well into next year and possibly the second half.

I've never been big on the forums but have always been a HUGE advocate for the game to my friends and everyone in the game on the server I play. I'm worried because if SE looses a hardcore ffxiv fanboy like me, then I worry for the future of this game. (I'm not saying I'm important at all, far from it, just that I'm shocked that I've almost completely lost interest knowing how hardcore of a white knight I was.) I over looked issues left and right, always knew that the game would one day be the most epic thing their ever was.

I don't know that anymore at all, and don't think the game will even be a contender now.

Edit: I forgot the dungeons. Those should be fun. I still however stand by what I wrote. We really need alot more. This game needs to become the best final fantasy made yet. The odds are overwhelmingly against that happening.
