It's not that being a cheapo is the problem I'm a money pinching cheap bastard too but $12 bucks a month well $10 for me I'm legacy so bla to that it's the same with my friend he wants to play but don't want to pay but is willing to spend $60+ a month on games and so far this year has spent $600 plus on games that just sit there and collect dust but complains about a small sub fee.
You are missing out a lot as this game is old school.
EU servers down I was hoping to push to lv20 today. I got stuck for a good half an hour trying to get some little goblin to follow me. for some reason the quest split into 2 separate journals with no warning.
So far having fun lots of fun playing on my PC but getting a "Cannot create character config data" when my bro trys to log in on ps3 but not prob logging in on my PC... hmm
The game is only $40, with a free month, take the remaining $20 and pay for 2 months, by then you'll either hate it and stop playing, or love and think it's worth it.
I really really really really want to get this game, but I just know what will happen if I do. I'm trying to get my CPA and finish my master's and I can't help but look down the road 5 years and think of the stuff I would like to do, but I just know that if I start this game, I'll end up just like I was on ffxi, 10 or so years of no life playing all the time. I have a very addictive personality, I wouldn't be able to quit playing, thus I really need to say no to ffxiv :(
I'm pretty sure the people who are overloading the service disagree with you. The battle system is fine. Im sure it will be refined as time goes on but i see no overwealming flaw in it as is.
Dude you must be one of those blind square fans who defend the game with passion just because it has the FF vibe !
Overloading = stop lying to yourself Most of those people are Free to play players , Lets see how the launch goes if you are purely right
Battle system is fine = Typical Square fans will easily defend this boring generic overused battle system , I mean haven't you read the feedbacks on their forums .
As i said , read the OVERLOADING feedbacks on their forums and stop acting like you don't heard anything .
Actually, all people who are on now had to BUY the game not free to play. It's early access so everyone one did buy into it and they did it because the Beta was great. I don't love everything square actually, While i did get the original ffxiv i quit it after a few month due to it was subpar. ARR is awesome by far the best mmo ive played to date. That is my opionin and I'm sticking to it.
Game is so good! Currently working my pugilist into a monk, but will probably takes quite a while.
Thank Odin for the maintenance going on right now. Now I can finally get some work done.
Love the old school final fantasy but I won't pay a subscription fee to play any game sorry
