StrengthGamer.com: "When you log on to play Final Fantasy XIV, you are greeted with a very nice message (shown below). Apparently Square Enix understands that the world of Final Fantasy XIV has the potential to well, take over one's life."
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.

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.
I got the CE and can't stop playing. In fact, I didn't even notice this warning I was so anxious to play. hahaha
Yeah- playing it right now actually. It's good, but it's not THAT good haha
lol mayb you can take down the king of mmo- im looking at you wow
Got the ce from work not Going too pay for it the games rather bad. Shame I rather enjoy mmo's
But it has many flaws. If you're rolling caster in this game you will have a hard time soloing and don't get as much SP (skill points) as the physical classes do. You also have somewhat bigger down time as a caster. I wish I could do more than 8 levequest every 36 hours as well. I've heard that they are going to lower it to 24 or 12 hours. Anima should get a lesser cool down as well. 4 every 24 hours is a pain in the ass when most teleports costs 2-6 anima and you have a max of 100. I hope they lower the anima CD to 1 anima each 1-2 hours. There's a party bug as well that gives you less SP if you're in a party consisting of more than 2 members so you should forget getting big groups for leveling for now.
Other than that this is a great mmo, there's always something to do and if you get fatigued you can always play as another class. This game isn't that user friendly tho. So casuals should probably go wow.
I know this had nothing to do with the article but the article is bad and shouldn't be considered news anyway.
