"With numerous posters, banners and booths in the process of being precariously strung across every available surface, a few little secrets and slip through the nets for inquisitive journalists such as ourselves to snatch up. Here’s a few of the rather interesting tidbits we observed..."
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.
Those Epic Mickey banners are fantastic!
I personally can not wait to get my backside in the GT5 cockpits, and to find out what the re-branding of project natal is this evening. Should be very exciting indeed. Especially with Cirque de Soleil doing a huge event based around game sound tracks.
Apparently they will be doing various activities throughout the 3 days on the showroom floor and involving the members of the public. sounds cool.
Certainly is rather huge actually. We'll be at the Natal event this evening, so we'll have some news on that just as soon as we can.
Looks like xbox sites are pulling at straws. Only thing they can talk about is multiplatforms and the usual gears and halo blah blah blah.
Just saw the Mortal Kombat banner that's all I'm interested in really and the usual sequels and boring other games that seem to be populating E3 this year. It's all glitz and glamour with barely any substance
"Major exclusives always have the console displayed prominently on the banner, yet FFXIV’s removal of PS3 branding could indicate a potential switch to multiplatform release. We’ll have to wait and see."
Maybe it doesn't have PS3 branding because IT ISN'T AN EXCLUSIVE. It is coming out on PC too. I have the alpha beta of the FF14 beta on my PC right now.
