who cares...this game has become nothing but a giant clusterf*ck


I care and people who still play XIV care.

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that no one else does.

They know the game sucks, that's why they are REMAKING it.

I don't know, I kind of agree with him.  We all know I've been hard on FFXIV but it kind of deserves it and the upcoming year doesn't look good for it either.

As soon as they start making people actually pay for it (and they will literally be paying for a beta since the real version releases in November 2012), A LOT of people are going to leave and never ever come back.  As soon as The Old Republic releases the next month, even more people are going to leave.  After that, it will just be a slow and painful death for the game until it reaches November 2012 (or should say if it releases in November 2012).

The game just isn't good.  It had some excellent ideas, but failed on them and the things it does decently other games do better.  Hell, even in 2012 they're going to shoot themselves in the foot by having a competing MMO, Dragon Quest X.

It's cool you're sticking with XIV, but don't be delusional in thinking that it will ever turn into something little more than it currently is.  It's a sinking ship that SE is desperately trying to keep up but that boat is already sunk.

On topic, it would be cool to have an actual MMO on a portable.  If FFXIV were actually good and I played it, I would probably buy a Vita for that.  As for the 360, I would be willing to bet that it has nothing to do with the game also being on the PS3. Your previous post talking about that is just crazy conspiracy theory crap.

I read that in an interview with Tanaka some time back. Not my own personal opinion. I would love for the game to be on the 360.

I just find it appaling that some people are just not willing to give the game a second chance. They are remaking it (fixing everything thats broken) and then letting players retry it for awhile all at free cost. How exactly is that a bad thing?

Before making the conspiracy theory comment I did a quick search just to make sure I wasn't blatantly wrong and did see anything.  If there's an interview, please link it.

As for the for free thing, it won't be free next month but it won't actually be fixed until a year later.  Again, you will literally be paying a monthly subscription fee for a beta.  As for why I gave up on it, a free bad game is still a bad game.  I don't have a lot of time to game and I'd rather use that time on better games.  It's cool that you like it and the hundreds of other people that play (I kid, thousands) but it's still a pretty bad MMO.  Pretty much all the other MMO's out there completely out shine it in most every way.


That's why you should take a break and come back for 2.0 when you get that additional 30 days free to retry it when it is rebooted :)
