Forums - PC - Gametrailers Reviews Final Fantasy XIV: Ouch!

I think that was the first Gametrailers review where I could hear the anger and frustration in the narrator's voice.  I can't really blame him.

Yeah, I noticed that too.

Or can the PS3 version use "curaga" on this game?!


More like a phoenix down, since the reviews are killing it 



How is this a surprise?

 

Especially for a game that has got nothing but very bad press for the past few months. From experience, it's just a bad game.

lol I'd still go with Cruaga since its not "dead"

And this User Interface issue should be easily solved, how hard can it be to change a few menu's

When Outlawauron says a Final Fantasy is bad you know somethings really wrong

Are the quests and quest times designed the way there are right now because of the Fatigue system?

When I rad a few scans and info about FF XIV, there were talking highly abou the UI and HUD of the game where it's all customizable and designed to make things more convenient for the player but I guess that's not the case.

And I seriously doubt that even if they delay the PS3 Version, it just won't do the game justice. Can you imagine FF XIV being dumbed down more than it is right now for the PS3 version?


There are two limiting systems in the game.

The first one after playing a job for a total of eight hours in a week it starts reducing the amount of experience you earn and completely stops after 15 hours.  Each job has a seperate timer so if you hit the limit on one job you can always try another one and be fine.  While you're another job, the timers on every other job start regenerating though I don't know how quickly.  I don't like this system but it isn't a deal breaker for me, though that may be because I like to play a lot of different jobs.  I don't really believe if I'm paying a monthly fee the game should stop me from playing.

The other system, and this is the one I have a huge problem with, is the limits on quests you can do in a 36 hour period.  You can do 8 regional quests (combat) and 8 local quests (crafting).  The big problem is they are just kill x number of y creatures and take about 5 minutes to complete.  That means after playing for about an hour, it's going to be another 35 hours until I can play the game properly again.  It's just an awful system.

will they cancel the ps3 version,after this? I was hoping this would be good? :(



They should really rush to Final Fantasy VII remake now! Or develop a great original RPG like Chrono Trigger. Square-Enix is doomed. This is very very sad. I cannot believe in what is happening. Where are the good old incredible japanese games? :(
