They are adjusting a lot of the game to allow PS3 owners. This means weird controls and the text being reduced to an annoying level.
Lag is annoying as a caster. As doing something while casting (like hitting another skill) cancels my cast. I've had points where I thought I had a cast off, but turns out it wasn't out quite yet. Not uncommon as an Australian based player. But if everyone else is feeling it, that's something that will hopefully change.
Character creation is a little limited, but enough to get some fun combinations. Just that people tend to sway toward the more popular choices so clones do appear a fair bit. But this is an MMO in any case. Doesn't help everyone is running around in beginner gear to help with the picture that you can't really be unique as you'd hope. But the differences are there, however slight (like height choice).
Overall they have the MMO stamp of "Still needs work". But can't think of any MMO that was perfect off the top of my head. Even WoW had to be turned on its head before becoming enjoyable for some. People who played paladins during MC raiding days would know what I mean.
Just depends how SE will go around it. But I have faith.
Good things now...
It's a beautiful game that is freaking huge.
RP possibilities are there. Reason I came to this game, probably reason I'll stay if all goes well.
Character creation doesn't phase me much since I picked a race that is not popular :p
So all in all I have hopes it will improve like all MMOs tend to. And I hope that I can get a chocobo sometime....I see them and I want!
