Go play w/ your dragons or something Khaleesi.

ANYWAY, I liked it. Thought it was SOLID. UI is amazing, graphics top notch, and playing was fun. May just get it to play w/ my buddy Ishukone. Maybe.

No small NMs to camp for quick cash or good gear. No skillchains or magic burst or anyway for people to work together in the group other then filling out the limit break and having one person use it. The world doesn't even make sense like FFXI did, you can't go from forests to snow mountains to sandy beaches in a linear fashion (you know to make it feel like your really in a open living world). The story line is way to focused on a single player story and doesn't really feel like your part of a mmo but more of a single player game. You also don't have that feeling like your just dropped in the world and its up to you to find out how to make your epic story in this huge world. Also it lost that feeling of joining LS or meeting some friends and they show you the way of the game now the game is so linear like every other game since 2004 you already know what to do and don't need help from other people till endgame. Then again FFXI was based off the old EQ model and this new FFXIV is based of the wow model. So my point is FF is no longer a virtual world but more so a action role playing game like everything else. Also the game reminds me A LOT like swtor but I just can't put my finger on what.

Also the first two dungeons I did was basically a copy and past of the deadmines from wow, was kinda funny.

All I need to know is have they changed the controls since the first inception. It was so clunky I dumped it after an hour.

It plays like WoW pretty much (but wow still has the smoother game engine).

Glad to hear the positive feedback (I work on this title).

I think Khaleesi will be the only person on the planet to think 1.0 is better than 2.0.

Because at least 1.0 seamed like its own game and not really trying to copy anyone else. 2.0 is a standard post-2004 mmo with a shitty world map (the world map feels and looks like a action RPG game).

I didn't get into 1.0 too much because it didn't even work on my computer (lol), but I guess some people did like it! I can see what you mean by 2.0 having a lot of qualities that aren't necessarily innovative, and I think there are quite a few reason to speculate as to why that is, but I think there has been good work so far in at least making all of the content solid and done well, on top of sprinkling in some of the old mechanics and of course FF Lore.

I don't know about the map being action RPG like, you'll have to explain to me more about that. Seems like a normal MMO/RPG map to me. I really like some of the areas though--maybe I'm just a sucker for environment graphics but the quality is top notch (granted you have the system for it!)

I don't think its a complete cookie cutter game, and I'm impressed with the class playability myself--some of the DPS are actually interesting and not just skill rotations. You should give the 4th Beta a chance and try out some of the raids [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The engine is beautiful bizzum. And the UI matches it.
