Patients is a virtue.


Have you even played the game?  There's no excuse for how awful it is.

I understand MMO's are large projects and I'm fine with the first few months having issues, but all the problems FFXIV has cannot be fixed in a month and are pretty inexcusable.

I'll say it again, there's no reason we should be punished for SE rushing out the game.


it is pretty bad, but there is potential. My plan is to play out my free month before I dicide to cancel, and wait until they fix everything at a later time. They could fix a lot of mess before my free trial ends too. So while I play for free, I'll be patient until I make a final judgement.

 

edit: almost rank 20 gladiator. hehe

I'm curious, what do you think is wrong, what do you think it would take to fix that, and how hard do you think that would be?

I see people say crazy things all the time and think there's some magic button that just fixes thing and it always just amazes me.

This is Square Enix, so expect to be dissapointed lol.

-They need to fix Wada. Or boot him out.

-I'll like them to make the controls, keyboard and mouse friendly.

-open that auction house I see that is closed in Limsa Lominsa. (I can see that auction house symbol from FFXI in there.) Maybe they have it in other towns. Or, just for show and tell.

-They'll have to upgrade the UI. Upgrading the UI will take hours, or even half a day.

-Increase rate of regening Anima, and doing guildleves

That is all my "fix it first list"

I'm pretty sure they can fix this in a month or two, three max. Maybe four.. If they can't then I'll be angry. They should have taken care of these issues sooner.

I don't craft, so I can't comment on that. I don't have time for it lol.

Now time to compare my experience with FFXI. I know its been out in Japan on PS2 a whole year before it got a western release on PC in 2004 right? What I find amusing is that they added German and French auto-translation, plus Lv85 cap in FFXI not long ago. So, I find that interesting since those are already in FFXIV except the cap is rank 50. They are making progress lol.  I can all ready see a big patch coming soon in the future though.

From what I'm reading on gaf, it sounds like it's mostly GUI and control issues that could've been solved with several more months of development time.

The game sounds rather rushed.  What's worse is that Square's dev cycles will be getting even shorter in the future.  Go Wada!

Sounds bad, especially after the excellent Final Fantasy XIII released this year!

But I think most importantly the game was RUSHED for launch and Townz just didn't cut it?

Why was it rushed? We'll never know......there was really no reason to rush it, absolutely no reason at all. Its not like SE didn't have a big game for launch this fall, they have KH:BBS, 3rd B'day in Japan.

Many issues do sound like they can be fixed, maybe the PS3 version will be good?

Exactly, and Square-Enix should have learned this sooner. Don't rush.
