Players come for the game, but they stay for the people- Most Devs have forgotten this. |

Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft' might win, by fearing to attempt |

I was one of the nutballs who actually liked it at launch, at least some of it. :D I'll definitely take a look again. I love when worlds feel like worlds, and although at launch we had the repeating textures and full-on copy/paste of whole areas, I still LOVED the lights/torches coming on at night, the boat ride, the day/night cycles, etc.... things like that are very important to me in my mmorpgs. So I'll check it out. I am not expecting to be swept away by it, as the things i like are far less mainstream than most devs shoot for, but it's worth a look and I ceratinly wish them luck. It took balls to make a recovery effort like this, so kudos to them regardless.

I thought what I'd do is I'd pretend I was one of those Deaf-mutes. |

Originally posted by Zylaxx Based off what? The game is entirely different from its original. I sincerely think you are either entirely uninformed or just baiting people. If you have been watching or following ANY of the information that Yoshi P has been releasing you'll see ALL they do is learn from their mistakes. Their being their predicessors... as most of the original team was scrapped. |

Originally posted by Laughing-man I admit I don't know enough of the new game but I dont see how re-releasing something that failed in the first place is worthy of a 2nd look. This was my point, Its like trying to go back to SWTOR, theres nothing they could do to make me go back cause they screwed up the first time.
If they can manage to pull together enough fans to make the game successful then great, but I am very dubious this is the case, besides ive seen enough from other posters saying they think this is being rushed too much and taking shortcuts which is a recipe for disaster. |

I really enjoyed the first iteration of the game (I know people like me are very few) and was sad to see not everyone shared that opinion. I personally can not wait for this release, it's a step in the right direction towards bringing people back to the game.

Originally posted by Zylaxx Except that, from everything I've seen, the developers have gone back and remade quite a bit because they recognize the mistakes of the former developers. So in light of that, would you care to actually explain yourself? |

Originally posted by Zylaxx In that case I would say what I've said before: "gamers" seem to think (at least some come across this way) that this whole mmo thing is "ok let's see what you got! hmmmm, dont' like it NEXT!" and then having that play out ad infinitum. Except that a lot of money, time and effort is put into these things and just throwing the baby out with the bathwater seems to be overkill. In the end what is the bottom line? It's that final fantasy fans want a great final fantasy mmo and one that might be a bit updated than the previous game. So is it worth it to spend millions upon millions to throw this out and develop a completely new game over the course of 5 years only to have the game fail because it can't keep up with all the innovations/new ideas that have come out over that 5 years or is it better to take what did work and develope more toward what they know the game should have been and then go from there? My thought is that too many game companies dont' take their games and say "hey, let's really work on it and make it successful" as opposed to "if it doesn't make x dollars let's can it and try again". Luckily EVE seems to take the former course and it works quite well. Those developers love and are invested in their game as opposed to having it be part of a huge stable of games that limp along with modest love from the developers. My opinion is that Sqaure Enix did the right thing. Whether or not their new direction can capture fans remains to be seen. |

Been playing the game watching that red moon get nearer all day, and I am still impressed by how bad so much of it is. The leaves are meaningless tedium, UI a major barrier to immersion and the combat mechanics are the worst of any game, there is so much that needs to change just to make it bearable, and I think Yoshida can do it, but beyond that? Can ARR be actually better than OK?
Sooner they shut 1.0 down and focus 100% on ARR the better. 7hrs 2mins 22secs 11milsecs to go... |

What I don't understand, though, is that people say the entire combat system was horribly done wrong as compared to other games, yet I see a million posts on "I want something different from the usual MMO."
The combat system was different, and though others may not share the opinion as well, I rather enjoy that "horrible" combat. |
