It's probably because FFXIV 1.0 is shutting down to pave the way for FFXIV: ARR. It's not a new game in the sense of, "There will be two playerbases that will want to discuss different things." FFXIV 1.0 players will turn into FFXIV: ARR players. Everyone talking about FFXIV 1.0 now will be talking about FFXIV: ARR later. When FFXIV: ARR releases, no one is going to be, "Get these FFXIV 1.0 players off our FFXIV: ARR forums!" If you make a new forum for FFXIV: ARR, it'll just be needlessly complicated to sort out topics. I deleted a part of my post, but how are they dealing with old character aesthetics when there are new character customization options? Are old players not going to be able to take advantage of the new sliders? Or are old characters getting free make-overs? Would that mean a make-over system would be implemented? |

Well that's still not a very good reason not to make a new forum for ARR. For one thing, it's extremely confusing to noobies that are painfully uninformed like Ozmodan up there. Anyway, that would be a ridiculous reason not to make a new forum for ARR. Of course no one's suggesting that they make a separate forum for ARR and keep the current one, as if they'll be separate games. They need to ABOLISH the current one and REPLACE it with the ARR forum. Even if what you say about them not making an ARR forum is correct, it still doesn't explain why they were quite quick to make a new forum for Dark Fall: Unholy Wars. It makes no sense. I'm thinking that there's a few people at mmorpg.com that just don't care enough about XIV to change it.

It's not really that big of a deal. It'll sort itself out when ARR releases anyway. Don't get angry with the forum, because the OP doesn't know any better. |

Originally posted by aphydork The OP's 1st sentnce says "GW2 Fanboi". The OP's last sentence is self-defeating. TERA is dying/dead. Theyre doing serve merges because 3/4 of their servers have most zones completely empty(Literally. Maybe 0-2 ppl in most zones), except for the end-game zone. Without a steady stream of levellers to replace end-game leavers, the end-game zone will eventually go ghost-town as well. |

Originally posted by BillMurphy Bill and I just got done discussing this and we're in the process of basically retooling the current listing to reflect A Realm Reborn. It won't be a separate listing as FF14 in its current form will essentially cease to exist. In fact, it appears the logo associated with the listing has already switched over. :) We'll archive the current reviews forum and introduce a new one once ARR goes live. Michael "MikeB" Bitton |

I think Final Fantasy has some of the best concept art I've seen from a series, and the character creation screens look nice, but until we can see some real gameplay, I can't say I'm very interested. I remember watching the first news break about APB, and getting excited, but as we saw there, a game can have the greatest character customisation in the world, and still be no fun. I'm interested in how they're relaunching it. "A Realm Reborn" directly references the fact that their first go at FFXIV was a disaster. I hope I'm wrong, I like Final Fantasy, but I just feel that it'll be hard to make a success of this one. |

Honestly the core gameplay between this and the old version most likely won't be any diffrent, party up and go mass kill packs of monsters for levels mostly. I relly don't see much in the way of diffrences other than a new UI and prettier sparkles.
Being a pessimist is a win-win pattern of thinking. If you're a pessimist (I'll admit that I am!) you're either: A. Proven right (if something bad happens) or B. Pleasantly surprised (if something good happens) Either way, you can't lose! Try it out sometime! |

Originally posted by MikeB Thx for the answer. But you need to change the name, the release date and delete the old screens/videos because you will not see these olds screens/videos in FF XIV: ARR.
And I don't understand why Darkfall: Unholy Wars has its own forum. |

because when they updated the graphics engine they increased the character detail, added a new Male Miq'ote and Female Roe-gedyn and additional character customization gave meaning to picking your character birthdate. They are giving existing players the option to re-create and change their existing characters while keeping the status they already built from playing the game. As well as showing off to potiential new players. It's also nice to be able to see the job gear you are striving for when creating your character. Kinda gives ya a little goal before heading down that path. |
