ArmachiA Wrote:The review had fair points. Whether or not we like the game, some of the things they left out (Auction House, Mail system, Chocobos, more quests) is just inexcusable and should have been there from release. I mean, that MMO 101 right there.
I can't help but feel as if this whole mess is due to a rush to get the game out to market before Cataclysm came on to the scene during the holidays. If that was the case, it is sort of a catch 22, isn't it? Beat Cata, but have a real piece of barebones shit that is missing the most simplest of things (by the way, people who use the excuse "Well FFXI didn't have everything at the start either!" need to be dragged out and shot. It's 2010, not 2001). Don't beat Cata, and everyone is busily grinding away on the game that is basically an electronic form of crack for online gamers and unwilling to give XIV a spin.
Bear in mind that is total, unadulterated speculation right there. And although I did call FFXIV what I did call it in that last paragraph, I'm still getting enough mileage out of it and, yes, enjoyment, that I foresee hanging on -- albeit by the skin of my teeth -- until the holidays to see if they can pull this game out of a nosedive in the content/ease of use department.
Figure the benefit of the doubt is deserved since I really enjoyed FFXI.
