For developers, rebooting a popular game franchise gone astray is a unenviable task. So imagine if your favourite studio had to re-launch an entire MMO less than three years after its original launch. Spare a thought for Square Enix.
YoshiP, the director and producer of Final Fantasy 14, has apologised for the state of the game at the time of writing.
Do you not see this happening during development? Like, why are we apologizing after the fact instead of stopping it during development?
Criticism and reflection occur after the fact. The apology acknowledges the past criticisms with the new expansion and they're keeping transparency with players about it. Now that they've acknowledged it - it will be interesting to see what kind of cycle we'll get with a new expansion and I wonder if they're planning something special with beast master since they didn't mention it in the last live letter.
The base game and expansion go on sale all the time and doesn't stay full price for very long since a new expansion is on the horizon.
If you're stating they should reduce the price of new expansions or the sub fee, no, that's not gonna happen lmao people aren't even complaining about that. They are criticizing the same old pattern of content that releases and how it is devolving into mediocracy.
"They are criticizing the same old pattern of content that releases and how it is devolving into mediocracy."
The product should be cheaper then.
I was unhappy with DT and have spent far less time in it than any other expansion but it's things like this that makes me respect Yoshi P. It's rare for such a high profile developer to be so candid in his assessment on a live game.
Same, i've found my self resubbing every two patches instead of keeping it up. Don't own a home in the game so there's no point in keeping a constant sub going. The post story is getting interesting though.
Square Enix released new screenshots of the upcoming patch 7.25 for its popular MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV, including the Occult Crescent.
A Final Fantasy XIV fan has embraced the way of the Warrior by creating an axe-shaped controller for IRL Fell Cleaves.
Its just fanboys and Hype! The game does everything solid, it doesnt revolutionize the genre, it doesnt bring anything unique to genre. Leveling feels like a grindfest, the teleport system penalizes you with fees but you really have no choice since mounts run so slow. Quests are repetitive, bring this npc "this" or kill 5 types of "these" mobs type quests. There is no pvp whatsoever in this game, it will be patched in later on. Which is pretty pathetic since this is a p2p game. Still the game can be enjoyable, but is really only worthy of a 70-75/100 atmost, Decent game at best!
And if anyone has anything to say on why im wrong, feel free to reply.
the game looks ok they could do a little better on it but who knows maybe they will throw some things in to make it better I like the final fantasy series I might go ahead and get it just to enjoy playing with friends
