So what is so bad about taking the best of MMOs throughout history and put them into one place? There is no game that has the combination of features that FFXII brings, and by that definition alone it is a brand new entity worht atleast giving a try. You keep naming these obscure MMOs that 95% of us have never played to deter a feature that sounds awesome like LVLing multiple classes on one toon and hindering certain Boss body parts to reap certain rewards or match criteria that is necessary for the kill. The simple fact of the matter is no where have I seen one game combine such a wide array of different ideas and in that way it seems very fresh.
Now if you truly make MMO games your life, you will get jaded very quickly. Thankfully most of us do not do that. |

I am sick of all these people asking why it costs extra to make alts, the fact of the matter is, this is how they run their system. All the fans of the series enjoy the way they worked it and have been loyal to the system through the years. Why should you pay extra for more characters? because your paying less to begin with, and the demand for more than one character is lower. The final fantasy team believes in core progression of a main character more than alt management as it lowers the number of names used on the server and keeps the overall server closer nit. In a sad note if something that small would make someone avoid the game entirely then they arent meant to play. Also this controls people playing on the same account and overall gains money for the company, therefore progressing the game for the loyal people who play.
All in all, this is how they run it, i understand we have these forums to discuss ones gripes with games and to have the companies fix them, but this is such a small thing that it shouldnt even be a problem. Sure they may not have free alts like other games, but others game dont have a class system like this

Originally posted by Nephaerius I am going to point out exactly what your doing, your a person, knows what they want, says they dont care about the game, yet takes the time to go on the site and state why they wont, if the game matters so little to you and no changing it would help, then dont give us your input, we dont care if your not going to play, the fact of the matter is, innovation is what you make of it, this is innovation, we asked for Final Fantasy 11 brought to a new age, we got it, we are happy with that, innovation is here in the way that our demand wanted, this is not your game, so leave it be, dont troll our thread just because you "care so little" about the game. Guild wars 2 is not innovative, I have been following the game myself, they are just giving some old content new names, and rehashing it, just like everyone else does, accept it, but atleast im not on gw2 posts saying why i wont play because i respect its players enough to let them have their place in the gaming world.

Originally posted by Zorlac I think we'll see it eventually, as SE does seem to like how Steam runs, handles their games (security mainly) and distributes their games.
I have no problem with keeping just one main character. MMORPGs is about connecting with your avatar. SEs goal with XIV is to have players experience the game by growing their characters to their tastes and preferences. Always hopping from one toon to the other in WoW never really struck me. With XIVs system, there really is no reason to. |

Paying a sub to a game that only allows one character for that price is absurd in my book. Yeah you can add more for $3 each, but that seems to me like taking advantage of your playerbase. One reason I never played the first game even though I had good friends that did. It makes this game a niche game because people like to play alts. So if they want to make a second rate game that is their choice, but it will never be that popular with this restriction. |

Originally posted by Shari That would rock. But different OS and hardware so kinda sounds impossible? Also; are the server worlds seperated? Do pc users / ps3 users have different servers?? That would be better with these release dates. |

Or: - I Buy the PC version - Play this year - Buy PS3 version next year - Play on PS3 the PC characters I made last year ?
That would be weird.... you know, almost scam like. Edit: well at least it is an option I guess, thanks for the info. Weird stufff man Edit 2: I have no idea what other games you are talking about. (I have 3 or 4 good games that I finished like two years back for the sixth time in a stack of like 20+ ) |
