Samriel Wrote:My second little thing is the gameplay. I don't like the playstyle. It's not the way of combat, but everything in general. I will get used to most things, but the UI for example, it just doesn't work for me. It's more of a feeling then a fact to be honest, can't explain it in a good way.
Compared to the UI in FFXI, XIV's is a godsend. I actually like the gameplay in this game far better than most (the top, in my book, being AoC) The ONLY negative thing I have against the game play is how long it takes to get to and from combat mode. It might be taking longer than it should do to a input lag via a server lag, but oh well if it is and oh well if it isn't.
I've heard a lot, and I mean a LOT, of people complain about the mouse controls. Yes, they're a little sluggish and I hope that by launch they'll give us a sensitivity option and, hopefully again, they'll work out the targeting issue with the mouse pointer. But over all I'm pretty gosh darn satisfied with this game and I can see myself playing it for a long time. I have to beat my Lineage 2 record for longest MMO played. That and I'd really like to experience the end game content of this one.
The other thing I've run into, and this is only in the first quest "The Color of Sin", is in one part of the quest the description of what you're supposed to do is extremely vague and I almost got to the point of pulling my hair out because I didn't know what to do. (This is in Gridania, btw, and here's the link to my thread on how to get past that part: <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1305">viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1305</a><!-- l -->) But, this is Square we're talking about and much like FFXI, I imagine the wiki will become everyone's best friend.
As far as character creation goes, I'm not sure about being able to make a teen or a child, but I'm almost sure that the options we're given in these beta's aren't the full options they'll give us upon launch.
Anyway, that's my 2-cents and I'll shut up now.
