    Final Fantasy (Even the singleplayers) have always been somewhat challenging. Square made FFXI and XIV perfect for this..They don't just hand over quests like in ALL the other generic MMO's. You have to actually find the NPC that HAS a quest and actually READ what the NPC is saying.

    If you don't read it you could miss some very important details. At least this was how it was in FFXI, which is what I like. I get bored of todays MMO's due to the fact that they are just so damn easy, which also makes them boring. I don't want to kill 500 rats just to level up and get 1-2 more skills. I also don't want each quest to be about this dark dragon that, for some reason, killing 500 rats will help the situation.

    The best thing i liked about XI was that you actually felt like you were accomplishing something and you really felt involved in the world. I'm glad this is what everyone is complaining about because it means it carried over from XI.

    Sorry that it didn't have a tutorial that showed you every fun part of the game and how to do everything. When you enter the world of FF you need to figure everything out on your own, and they shouldn't change it at all.

    I've already bought it and can't wait for the release.

    1. interface/menu MUST be made more userfriendly.. its really horrible right now, opening and closing stuff goes too slow but the worst of all is your attack skills are not saving when changing weapons, i gotto set 8 skills everytime i switch to craft and back to Marauder, really time consuming...



    2. monsters must be balanced better for solo play, the difficulty gap is arround lvl10 and its just too hard to find any decent monsters to train on. the monkeys in gridania have a green dot infront of their name yet they totally **** me -.- lucky i found some dodo's in the desert i can beat but thats about it, nothing else left to train on. everything else just hits way to hard, were talking about 200-1000 each hit here which is even inposible to survive with a big party.



    3. lower the cooldown on Guild leve's or better.. remove it totally and make them repeatable endlessly. this move would really really improve the game and make it much more fun. its a good way to make gil and equips too so why not? i know SE wants us to spend as much time as posible in their game so they get money but throw too many limitations in it and it will just ruin the gameplay. btw its not all that rewarding either u know, if i stay in 1 spot and grind i get more xp then i would walking to the questspot and kill 6/8 mobs and return.



    4. Crafting (biggest issue right now). if you want to make a player driven economy with no npcs selling equips u gotto keep crafting simple imo. right now you need waaaaaay to much items to craft something like a lvl1 axe and theres no way in a milion years you can think up the recipe for that without looking it up on the internet. (which u cant while ingame cause it wont let u minimize it)

    lets take a look at the lvl1 Bronze war axe and what u need for it to make it.
    1 bronze war axe head = 2 bronze ingots = 2x5 bronze nugget = 3copper+1 tin ore
    1 Elm Axe haft = 1 elm lumber + linseed oil
    1 Bronze Axe Butt = 1 bronze ingot + 2 bronze nugget
    1 Buffalo Leather Strap = 1 buffalo leather = 1 buffalo hide + 1 oak chips
    1 Animal Glue = 1 bone chip + 1 sheep leather spetch + 1 muddy water

    lets see thats about 9 different crafts over 3-5 different jobs to get the main parts, then 1 more to finaly get the axe, BUT chances are very high u screw up and fail most of these crafts which means u can start all over at the beginning if u fail the last 1.
    seriously simplify this shit... its unreal.
    sorry... but i think ur kind of use to easy everyday mmos... where to craft a low lvl sword you need like... 2 pieces of ore and you magically end up with a sword..

    i think the crafting is great, it feels more real life. In real life a person would need ALL that stuff maybe more to make a bronze sword lol. The crafting is really immersive and helps draw you into the world more.

    and the fact that monsters arnt always what they seem is cool too. It provides a great challenge to the game which i always welcome because when a game is simply grind on these mobs you know you can kill all the time it gets boring fast...

    so i will be purchasing this game :P yey im excited for release!!

    Oh I was just kidding. The reason I am not buying FF is because XI felt like the same exact thing. I am not gonna pay full price for a game that I have played before with just more eye candy.

    Much better my young padawan learner. :O

    I agree somewhat but since I haven't played it I can't really talk to much. However, I'm playing it because it's like FFXI. If they changed the system then it would just be another MMO to kill rats, slimes or whatever else they decide to have you grind on.

    crafting system sucks, makes no sense giving the player a craft without explaining how to make stuff

    guild wars to is clearly going to be a good buy

    the game design itself is superior and new compared to all other mmos
    plus no monthly subscription

    it only takes 1 video of guildwars2 to see it is going to be good, even if you didn't like guild wars 1

    But it's not more complicated. A blacksmith's true value comes from his skill at shaping the metal properly not from tossing a ton of shit together. It precisely makes the crafting even less real.

    I'm a huge fan of FFXI but after paying for WoW I can't seem to get myself to pay monthly for another game.
    correct me if im wrong, but it seems like it'll be quite time consuming like 11, i'm looking for a more casual game.

    My biggest issue with FFXIV is lag; both hardware and connection. The game always runs at 15 FPS no matter the graphic options (except when I set them to the highest possible with ambient occlusion and double buffer size, then it decreases to 10 FPS) and although I'm being told my latency is 300ms (which also isn't anything great) it takes about 5s between selecting an ability and using it, which makes using different abilities impossible and the combat is reduced to just spamming one button...

    Then it's just smaller things which can also become annoying, like losing your quest when you crash during it or your hotkeys resetting everytime you switch a profession...

    I will try the free trial once it's available, maybe they'll adress those things. But for now it would be just throwing my money away.

    I'm not paying 15$/mo for a game with no PvP just because its pretty.
    I don't care how much you love the FF franchise, its just not a solid MMO.

    suppose i should get used to these repeating replies of the same things, it is onrpg afterall, most of you guys want to be s****fed the same generic crap you've had for the past 10 years so you can complain some more for a bigger post count, gl with that, me and the other couple hundred thousand people who will be playing day 1 will be enjoying our time and money usage of ff14 like we have been doing for 8 years on ff11

    yea , because no one is entitled to speak their minds about something , and to play something they actually like . If you are looking for a lot of people like you that actually like the game go join a FF14 community site , cause here you wont get 100% love for this game .

    No, because the game interface sucks badly.

    I won't be buying it ASAP, buying KH Birth by Sleep tomorrow, then buy FFXIV in the next few months.

    I see what Ichigo is saying, everyone seems to have the exact same issues. Starts to smell like BS after the first person.

    And I don't see how it is like FFXI, maybe in appearance. But when I play it it doesn't feel the same.
