Like I have said before. I usually pop my head in these forums weekly to help out with questions about the state of the game today and try to point people in the right direction for good info. You on the other hand have nothing of value to add. You spew the am old rehashed crap for attention. It's the same old tired story over and over. “Abyssea ruined the game! No wait ToAU ruined the game, I played ffxi before it was mainstream so I'm better than you.“ Make up you mind already.

 

Trying to discredit the game when ToAU came out when the game was in it's golden years? Give me a break. XP chains broke the game? What the hell are you even talking about? You could XP chain at level 1 in Ron on T mobs. I think you're really grasping at straws now here. Maybe next you will tell everyone that NAs ruined the game and you played on a JP server...

 

This site gets no FFXI traffic because it is so far off the radar of FFXI players. I come here for general MMO news and to stop by the FFXI forums to see if people have questions. Other than that. I (like people who actually play the game) stick to BG, FFXIAH and Guildwork for FFXI related topics. Of course I'm sure you know that since you obviously keep your finger on the pulse of the FFXI community, right?

 

It takes a lot more than some troll to get my panties in a bunch. I'm glad I can have a conversation with someone that closes their replies with “!@#$ off loser” it helps me to understand the mentality of the person I am conversing with. Cheers!

 

Can you recommend some sort of guide/new player info? My friend and I are going to be doing the 14 day trial and although I already have another character on a different server from a long time ago, I'll be needing some refreshing on what to do when you first start out and it would also benifit my friend.

Thanks in advance!

You do realize that it's a new director, correct? After he took it over he realized he couldn't do much with the current version and started making 2.0. He kept it open because all of the character data would be transferred. He added content to keep people going, added a sub because without it there would be no way to support 2.0 and now we are getting an actual finished product.

If your looking for a game that is completly different than what your use to i suggest a game like darkfall, it might be worth taking a look into it if you realy wanna try somthing different. (one thing to note there a smaller company so you will see delays on patches and all that, game is currently set to release in janurary and beta on the coming monday for those who preorder the game.

I\d stay far away from darkfall uw, its going to fail just like most gank/grief based mmo's, make a server where you cannot get looted on your char dying and the game will survive, but as it is, I doubt it'll last 3 months.

That's how the game is designed, big daddy. People play it because of that feature.

I don't know if it's just me, but your links to your website do not work. I got it to work from your YouTube video, though.

I honestly hate this time of the year, PLUS christmas on the way.

I can't help but spend ALL my money on Steam :\

Sorry to say, but every game out there has some kind of "WoW Clone" In it., minus the sandboxes (don't quote me on that. Not a big fan). Just because they take ideas from a successful MMO doesn't mean it's a clone. 

Like he said, it will still feel like a Final Fantasy game. Last I checked, WoW doesn't have any Final Fantasy feel.

Looking for a 21 day trial. Definitely want to give this game a shot.

Thanks!

This will be the top of the list when it comes to worst expansions ever!

And if you use the word "hater" in your subject matter it just identifies you as an uneducated boob, the word is critic.

Oh, you've got to be kidding me.

Getting rid of a broken skill system to put in place a system where YOU can choose what you want it'd be just dandy?

Glad you and others like you aren't coming back; Morons can't see how good this is for the game. 

End of Act III and the beginning cutscene of Act IV still has my mouth dropping. I could watch that over and over again.

You shouldn't write an article about and evaluate with 5.1 a game that, as you said, you've never played.

He's doing E3 coverage, not rating the game, so think before you post.

Finally got one :D

FFXIV

I plan on going back when 2.0 comes out so you'll find me there.

Excalibur server.

Companies with excessive DRM or requiring a constant internet connection are just pissing off legitimate customers, like the previous poster said. They are more concerned with making sure that people dont get an illegal copy of their game, than making actual customers happy.

This is wrong.

When the DRM interferes so badly with a legitimate customers experience that they stop playnig the game because of it, things have gone too far.

I would say that about 75% of the people that get a pirate copy of a game WOULD NOT have purchased it anyway, the other 25% are people that are just pirates. If people want to buy a game, then they will buy the game. If they are not sure, then they might pirate it........

Remember demos for single player games? what ever happened to demos? They used to help people make their mind up.

The reason why I really hate this whole online authentication thing though, is what if I want to play the game I bought in 10 years time, when the servers have shut down and the company has gone bust? I wont be able to. There are a select few games that are THAT good, but I still semi regularly play the original civilisation, and UFO: Enemy Unknown because they are such great games. With online authentication I just would not be able to do that. 

I'm sorry, how is that wrong? A company wanting to make money and make sure assholes around the world don't make a ripped copy of their game and distribute it, allowing less income? Makes sense I suppose.

As for this whole online-only debate, I'm going to have to agree with the people that stated you knew this before you bought it. 

As for 10 years down the line? I'm sure I'll be playing something else. Would I maybe come back to it? Sure, there's always that possibility. But down the line I'm sure something else will grab everyones attention. A lot of people claim "this isn't what I thought it was going to be" so I'm sure they won't be playing past the first month. 

i can understand why people are upset about it, but to not buy it at all because of this reason? That's just ridiculous. If you don't have internet at all then people need to get with the times. If you can't afford it then you shouldn't even buying the game in the first place. if you have internet chances are you're always going to be on it. God forbid you have to log in to play.

In any case, I feel bad for those who won't buy it because of such a stupid reason. You're really missing out.

It will be. Just give it time. Yoshi is doing the best he can. He was handed with crap, yanno.

FFXIV 2.0.

As much as people hate the game it's still getting better. Currently and will continue to pay for their subscription. They have my full support.

Underwhelming.

Needed:

 Sell back feature on vendors. That would be nice

 Appearance tab.  Oranges work just fine for me, I have dozens in the bank.

Hi rez textures.  Nice, but not vital the game already looks "good."

Optimization of game and decreased loading times. What optimization issues? What load time issues?

You should play with a SSD lol. Allthough my high speed SATA 6gbps drives do fine.

 

a SSD is not worth the cost. just becuase they are severly limited in the capasity department

Definitely worth the cost.

If it is F2P, i will likely give this a serious shot. Otherwise ill pass.

 

"WAKFU will launch as a free download from the official site at www.wakfu.com/na and include with it a large amount of gameplay content to experience at no cost. In addition, a monthly subscription fee of $6.00 will give players access to premium content, and a microtransaction–based store will allow users to purchase cosmetic items."
