I am kinda tired of all these threads about the same bs might aswell take a show of hands of whos gonna play despite these misssing features and whos not.
Edit: For those who at first wanted to play but now dont due to the revalation that there will be no jumping swimming and sitting and please respond solely on these factors and if any other factors presently shift your opinion negatively toward this farnchise please refrain from answering the question. TY

seriously.. who cares about those lame actions anyways
I havent liked any FF games since #1 why should I want to play one now especially when there are so many MMOs to choose from.... plus hell I like JUMPING! *Bounce bounce bounce*
but no and thats not the only reason why either XD
Well the question was pretty stright forward. But if you werent planning to play why are you in this forum? If you hate it why bother?
Will be playing, I have played plenty of other games that had jumping and enjoyed it but I dont find that this has to be there for me to enjoy the game.
Relax main, you asked for a show of hands he said no on the poll and he stated that he would not.
Yeah lol... I mean why ask in the FFXIV forums who isnt going to play it anyway. Most people who played FFXI played with no jumping and swimming didnt they? I would guess that wouldnt stop them from playing the next go round XD
Im not angry or anything but he did give a reason such as I dislike FF that was enough for me to ask why even be here I dislike aion and WoW and others im never in their forums saying a thing. Maybe the question should have been for those who at first wanted to play but now dont due to the revalation that there will be no jumping swimming and sitting and please respond solely on these factors and if any other factors presently shift your opinion negatively toward this farnchise please refrain from answering the question. Infact ill place it in the post for future responders.
Yes I said I didnt like any other FF games but I watched the videos and have read stuff they planned to do and when it looked like a game that didnt have anything that was even appealing to me I just crossed it off my list like I have done with the others in the past.
If I am going to post in a forum I have at least made some sort of effort to see what it has to offer. I simply made a statement and sorry for doing so >.> I will let your thread be now
Oh and to your edit above me... everything I have seen in pretty much all the threads here at least people still said they would play even with no jumping hence why I made the statement I did!
Missing "features" isnt missing if it isnt featured at all. Lol
Hmmm well considering the numerous post on the 3 topics I'd say to many these apply unders feature http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/feature look at definition number 2,
You guys know I just made up the sitting thing right?
It was true?
Completely honest no anger watched a guy break NDA and saw no sitting plus its still fun to find out if sitting is part of the game breaker.
Whats funny is that 25%+ of people who were planning on playing the game have now changed their mind's based on these 3 small features. Makes you wonder what percentage wont be playing the game based on much larger features that are missing or unwanted.
To sum-up/paraphrase a previous forum-user's post:
I already have a toaster, it makes toast, why would I want to buy a shiny new one that cant even do the simple things that my old one could?
"We have barred the gates, but can not hold them for long...
They have taken the Bridge and the Second Hall...
We can not get out. The end comes.
Drums, drums in the deep. They are coming..."
can't wait to play this without the people who are making such a fuss.
FFxi was the best MMO I ever played, only reason I quit was lack of solo content while waiting for a party (group play is the reason I play MMOs but having little to do outside kinda broke it for me). However 14 is addressing this and I can't wait for release. The rest of you can go play TOR.
FFXIV was your first MMO I take it lol?
Yes, let's just get rid of every fluff feature, because no one cares about them. And lets never have any water content. Why bother having a game at all, we don't need any of this stuff!
The game isnt' finished. The game isn't released.
You have absolutely no idea what will be and what won't be included in this game upon it's release.
Go outside; all of you making assumptions and posting about the "What If's " of this UNRELEASED, UNFINISHED game.
Wait until it is released, make a decision to buy it or not. FFS if you get this upset over a GAME that isn't done, how are you going to handle life?
seeing as how the game is still in beta we don't know if it will have sitting or not. I know Aion didn't have swimming, I guess they are adding it. Sitting should be put in the game eventually, but eh who knows it is only a month away from being released.
People bitch about not being able to swim, fly, and jump in XXX game here... It's already been beaten down many times, and is a lame attempt at trolling.
If I wanted immersion, I'd go swimming in the oceans on some real waves...
and nobody is going to miss all the bunny hopping action at the auction house either.
Methinks you aren't the right type of person to play MMORPGs.
This.
Actually,the game will be much better without all the wowkids that won't play the game because of this.
Community will be even better!
Will be playing.
I've never considered jumping/swimming/sitting to be a "feature" the only reason I can imagine it's implemented in any rpg is soley for entertainment purposes, or a cheap shortcut up a hill or across a river (in which case what the fuck is the point of putting a bridge up?).
If the game was a platformer or somthing then their would be obvious problems with the lack of jumping, but this is an rpg, and all three of those functions have no real purpose to be integrated in the game.
Interesting results so far with 30% this being the game breaker. Despite what my responses may seem like I totally agree some1 who cant play without these well,,,,movement effects should not. That being said i think (IMHO) if u played mmos heavily before 04 you might be able to live with out jumping swimming etc. My first mmo was a mud so EQ with graphic based interface was a big jump for me long ago. FFXI with its no jumping and swimming I really didnt notice it kept me busy enough I really didnt worry about it. In the long run keep the mind set that its your money you pay to play and (no matter the complaint) dont play with some that clearly dislikes a game you like it will clearly ruin some of your fun. TBH I really thought we get down to qyesting this week but whatever with 2 months to go soon our speculations will end and those who choose to play simply will do that.
To all those that voted thanks.
I actually used to care about those things a lot, and they still are big pluses in my book, but I care more about the gameplay and how fun a game is now, and I realize swimming and jumping aren't necessary.

The no votes taking a third of the poll could actually be tell tale.
The game is going to do okay in Japan anyway. It's biggest competition will be XI. If the game doesn't offer enough new things to keep them there why would they leave the content they've worked so hard on? x, y, and z axis be damned.
I kill other players because they're smarter than AI, sometimes.
