This game burned me hard when it first came out, I'm not giving it another chance to. I hope its everything you guys expect it to be, but I doubt it will, unfortunately.

what a terrible opinion piece. your whole article just sounds like you are holding a grudge against the game which has made excellent strides. You used no worthwile information about the current state or the upcoming ARR and apparently have not done any research since you got the name wrong twice which was pretty laughable. If you're going to write an article about a video game, you should probably actually play it and do some research instead of "poking your head in" whiich, in a game like this, requires more. It is articles like this that people see and ultimately get turned off by. Just like that ime this site slapped that big FFXIV negative review up the day before a really big update was released, haha. |

I am sorry, but this was a terrible write-up. I was looking forward to this game but after beta testing it and crying for 48hours i dicided to not buy the game because in my eye's it was broken for good. When i think of ARR i get this feeling off .... It's just too good to be true if they actually pull this off ...... I won't be the first one to buy it because right now im busy with GW2 and other stuff but i'll sure keep my eye on it as i am a huge FF fan and i think the world design is amazing in this game. I want to see a video of solo / group combat and if taht looks good i'll get it.

Originally posted by Nitth It was terribly unfinished! - The combat system was a horrible clunky joke! The whole controls were cumbersome at best. - The game was severely lacking content! To such an extend they had to put a daily limit on the leve system to directly control people's leveling progression and came up with a "we care about people's health" excuse! LMAO! You forgotten about that one? - There were basically no dungeons and absolutely NO endgame content! Reason number 2, they actively tried to control people's leveling progression, so they won't reach max level any time soon! Pretty much all dungeons and endgame content were patched in the game the last year or so! So there was nothing to do the first whole year, other then leveling classes and tradeskills. Why you think they cut the monthly subscription so quickly and made the game B2P until about 8 months ago this year? The game has been B2P/F2P for over one and half year, until they felt like the game had enough content to enable the subscriptions again. /shrug |

He, he, ... I enjoyed a lot reading your review. And I mainly agree in all accounts. Why they are investing so much is - imo - because of Japanese pride. And because of players that have invested in 1st version of game. But would be honest to give to us at least some discount or even free client. Or at least - speaking for us that have purchased 14 at start - free trial for at least week.

Originally posted by tixylix This! The entire effort, from creating an account, to account management to having to pay a higher monthly subscription for extra character slots, it just showed to me a company that totally did not get. The UI sucked, the website sucked, the engine sucked, the quests sucked, chat sucked. Only good things were the graphics (but they were a slideshow) and the story seemed intresting, what I could see of it. Everything else felt like a game produced by people who never even seen a computer in their entire life. It must be said, they did admit they screwed up but right now, the only chance the game has is to give it away for free for month at least and perhaps then start to charge. And it BETTER be damned fucking good and not just the game but their dipshit website as well. It was clear that this was a japense game. Ever visited a japanese website? Usability is not a word invented their designers ever heard off. |

Because sensationalism triggers debate and debate is good for upping the site stats to sell advertising. And it works as well. I mean... you felt compelled enough to reply, right? Remember, you are not in traffic, you *are* traffic ;)

I think the reason, Adam, why SE are still bothering with the game is because FF is huge in Japan. They need a replacement to XI and a re-wroked XIV made to the Japanease gaming tastes could be exactly what they are looking for after all. It's very easy to write negative columns on a website with a N. American perspective, but the reality is SE likely don't care. The game is made for FF fans, and for the Japnease MMO gaming tastes. Jonny and Janey Warcraft aren't what they are going for here, so whether MMORPG gives FF XIV another chance likely doesn't matter to SE at all.

Originally posted by Vesavius If it means setting the record straight and correcting the people who are deliberately spreading misinformation about the game - especially for their own gain (which is pretty sad, but I get it - "it's business"), then I don't care if I'm standing in the middle of a hurricane.
I can not stand seeing blatantly false information being spread about something. There's plenty enough that can be criticized legitimately about XIV as it is now, and even some concerns about where it's going with ARR. Conjuring up ridiculous scenarios and throwing around hyperbolic conjecture is not constructive to the game, nor is it helpful to anyone trying to get a real grasp on what the game is about.
I'm not against criticism of a game. I've criticized FFXIV more than enough my self in the past. Difference is, my criticism has been based on actual facts about the game. Not BS I make up "because it sounds good".
It's irresponsible and rather shameful for MMORPG.com to condone that kind of activity if that's the case.

Originally posted by Illyssia FFXIV isn't replacing FFXI. SE has stated this in the past. They will continue to support FFXI as long as there are enough people willing to play it. Right now, FFXI is still doing quite well enough.
It's doing well enough, in fact, that they're releasing a major, full expansion for the game, adding new jobs, an entire new continent and a bunch of new content to do. They're also in the process (though I'm not sure what the timeline is) of updating the interface and some other aspects of the game itself.
FFXI is doing fine. |

I get where you are coming from, but at least they will be balancing it with a follow up piece so well done to them for that. But, yes... I agree. I didn't think the article had any value (being kind) either. |

I am going to remain optimistic about ARR until it is released. I prepurchased the game months before the original release and it's been sitting on the shelf since about 5 hours into head start. I think the new producer has some great ideas but I believe the game should have been rebranded and everyone started anew. I believe the only reason SE is letting current subs keep their characters is so they can lessen the blow if ARR flops. I still play FFXI and would love to see a FFXI-2 but SE can't see past their own noses much less take their fans to heart and actually make something people would buy.
Oh and Adam. It's kind of hard to take you seriously when you don't even know the name of the rerelease. It's "Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn" How long has it really been since you played? |

We've seen plenty of "lackluster" MMOs continue on. However, this is the first time the MMO is being essentially rebuilt/redesigned.
Yeah, it may look somewhat like FF14 1.0 and play a little like it. But the engine, the ui, a crap ton of content and numerous systems are being rebuilt from the ground up. That is significant. That doesn't mean it won't be as lackluster as its original release. It does mean however that it deserves a second-chance/fresh look. |
