Forums - Gaming - FFXIII is linear, but FFXIV is “Nothing But Copy-Paste”

The latest controversy to erupt around Final Fantasy XIV consists of accusations that the game shamelessly copy-pastes the same towns and environmental elements over and over without the slightest variation, making one end of the world identical to another and subsequently devoid of character.

Beta testers provide comparison imagery which they claim highlights the problem:


Whatever the acceptable level of repetition in a game, with Final Fantasy XIV now in the late stages of development it may be too late to expect action on this front – of course, with only 8-15 hours of weekly play allowed, perhaps it is hoped players will not have time for the scenery to become too repetitive.

That site has been doing nothing but spreading lies about the game recently. They tried saying that you would only be able to play the game for 1 hour a day. Troll site is troll.

Your facts about play time are wrong as well Severance. It has taken Open Beta players days to hit the starting surplus level. So 8-15 hours is also wrong, not the mention that surplus goes away if you switch to another class, AND it goes away over time if your not on that class.



Honestly i'm not seeing it.   ARE YOU GUYS EVER HAPPY

So am I. I really wish others would look at the real facts rather than looking at troll sites and then proceed to spread the lies around even further.



I hope you notice that the picture is labeled "copypasta" which in internet lingo is something designed to incite emotion, ie; trolling.

This is an example of copypasta:

Hi vgc, I was just on the net checkin' out prices for rock band and I got linked here and noticed that you were all incredible nerds. Me and my girlfriend were laughing so hard at you guys and we thought we should start a fund to help nerds get laid. It would be easy to do cuz my dad owns a car dealership, and he likes to donate to the helpless dregs of society because it helps him get laid. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you guys ur all fuckin lame and I pity you because if you had a nice, tanned, muscular body and awesome hair like I do and a hot ass chick you wouldn't be playing kids games all the time and jerkin off. Later nerds.
