• • My Impression of the game, so far.

  • Right on review, besides the minor issues of the game, which undoubtabIy will be looked over, I believe within time this will be the number one f2p game available, for me it's what has been lacking in other mmo in the past.

    Because WoW is the cool nerd on the block. If you don't like the cool nerd, you aren't cool.  And Xplay desperately wants to be seen as cool.

    Too bad they fail.

    Seriously... that's why they change their set every 5 shows. It's kind of ridiculous. Xplay pulled the "10 million subscribers" can't be wrong card... and that was their only reason (in that episode) saying why WoW was great.

     

    Anyways, I think pretty much everyone who doesn't play FFXI right now, or at least in the past, will have a very negative opinion of it. Look at D_Machine's posts in the other thread on here... he hadn't played in a long time yet still said he knew that this game sucked. People like him are all over the place, and why people have a negative opinion of FFXI.

    However, reviewers have tons of games to review. When they see a crappy 3 hour long game they are happy - less work for them in pushing out a review. When they see an MMORPG, something that takes hundreds and hundreds of hours to even see a lot of the content, they are probably pretty mad. Do you guys really think they put the necessary hours in to *really* review an MMORPG? I don't.

    
    Yeah I agree. to review mmos you need months of analysis and quite frankly people don't want to put the time on it. In general people who have played FFXI till mid levels are really irrelevant, there is many children that are infesting the mmo scene now a days so because they see a nice, structured mmo catered for a mature audience and then try it, they jump and don't like it anymore because 'it's too hard' but really the problem is that it's not simple minded as other mmos in the current market.

    took the words right out of my mouth there, every mmo game they compare it to WOW and now every consolevgame having to do with action/adventure and or rpg they compare it to Mass Effect, I mean they are great games, I own them both, but if they don't resemble these games in anyway they are for sure a downfall in they're eyes.

  • I was looking for  a review in the site, and funny how long time ago when they reviewed FFXI for the first time they gave it a 2/5, now I look up the site for a review, and find a more constructive review and not a 1 min one, like the ridiculous ones they air on TV. I can tell that this was actually written by someone who has played the game, and experienced it. What I don't get is that right off the bat they start bashing games without giving them chances, they have to understand that the MMO evolves, does not stay the same over time, something these two idiots are well aware of, but refuse to acknowledge, in the review that I read, also they pin in a video "Final Fantasy Theater" what a laugh I had there, years of wonderful games how they floor through, and I wont spoil it for you, watch till the end, the most crucial part and you will see what I mean by these posts.
