If they do what they say they're going to do the game might be worth a try. | ||

The way you level up, the combat itself, the levequests, the repairing/crafting, the player run bazaar system.... I don't know what they can do to make it a passable MMO. I paid for the collectors edition and I'm super upset about it even to this day. So god damn terrible. If they overhaul everything but the graphics, they might have a chance to make a good game. However, that is not cost effective at all. In terms of cost effective - They recently stated they were surprised at how well FFXI made them money over the years since release. They want to do it again with FFXIV. This time though they have Naoki Yoshida the determinator and unlimited funds (whoever is in the charge a the top decided "put everything into it!"). They apparently have over 250 people working on FFXIV (as opposed to much less before and as opposed to the maybe 5 people currently working on FFXI >.>). They have worked on the new engine for about a year already in the background. Also unlike Tanaka (the previous director), Yoshida (new director) listens to the fan base and plays several MMORPGs and other games (including WoW, Diablo, etc). He can be trusted. They also already admit the game is currently only 50% complete (well 50% before it can be compared to other MMOs) so they know they do have a lot of work ahead. FFXIV started out messy but they're definitely doing their best to rebuild it. Not saying FFXIV will be great for sure but don't give up on the game yet. Check back next year when 2.0 is released to see how far things changed. As for gameplay, they haven't introduced the meat of the changes yet. It'll be 1.2 and 1.21 before they implement their major gameplay changes (for example they haven't implemented "Jobs" yet. Jobs being similar to FFXI but added on top of the existing Class system). | ||

The more good MMOs there are, the better the genre as a whole will become. When simply copy/pasting the WoW formula isn't enough any more, you have an entire genre in bad need of innovation if not renovation. I made this point several times on the FFXIVCore boards and I make it again here. Between TOR, WildStar, Secret World, and the proposed changes to FFXIV, the evolution of the modern MMO seems nigh at hand. Can't wait to see what comes out on the other side. | ||

Not giving them a cent until I see real proof that it won't suck. I loved FFXI, and this game is a sham in comparison. wait for 2.0, don't pay until then. | ||

The 2.0 info gave most of the people i spoke to hard-ons. I suppose the main reason i will still play after charges kick in is for the job system and because of the additional content, It comes faster than most current mmo's so i can't complain about having nothing to do  | ||
