Final Fantasy XIV survived one of the worst launches in MMORPG history to become the best modern iteration of the genre - no game is a lost cause.
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.
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.
their expansion stories rival actual series entries. the latest one and how it ties with the first as well as how they've improved their storytelling in a more engaging way..
unbelivable how good it is. I've played wow for 10 odd years, often played with sound off and youtube going in the background - not this game, the soundtrack doesnt seem to have any bad songs in the list.
do give it a try if you're looking for a new game. There are mentors and friendly guilds everywhere.
Anthem and 76 are lost causes until they go free to play and provide incentives for those who bought the trash
Dang it, ok I’m seriously wanting to give this a try but I am a hella noob at MMO RPGs, plus the subscription fee is kind of off putting to me. I hear so much great things about this game though.
Technically it is not the same game though. They completely abandoned the original game & assets which were made by a third party, then started over from scratch in-house. Same name, different game.
