It's kind of absurd that the FF14 fans can't post what they like about the game. Just what they dislike about WoW...
If you like grinding why does it bother you that people say it's just a grinder?
I wasn't ever asked. But since you want to know I'll tell you!
I could probably hit 50 but I won't bore you to death...Since you really honestly didn't care in the first place.
Actually I do care, I haven't played FF14 and have no feelings towards it. I just think its a bad sign for a MMO when the fans just defend the negatives and never talk about the positives except that it's "not like WoW".
I know why people don't want to play it, but I don't know why people want to play it.
If WoW = The Beatles and WAR = Led Zeppelin Then LotrO = Pink Floyd
I played the closed and Open beta and will probably play but not at release. I enjoyed the experience as its my first taste of FF.
Seriously can we drop the notion that this game is hardcore or has a steep learning curve, just because you have to spend half an hour talking to tons of npcs untill you find the one that repairs your gear. Thats not hardcore, just a timesink. And thats just 1 random example.
Let me point out a slight problem with this. A majority of people that ARE going to play FFXIV do NOT think this game is hard-core or that it has a steep-learning curve. We think it only requires one to read the manual. Which as long as you've gotten past elementary school that shouldn't be a problem a problem in most cases.
The people calling it hard and saying that it has a steep learning curve are the people batting for the other side. Preaching to the choir... =
You wanted my time, so I played you. You wanted my money, I forked it over. You wanted my soul, I gave it willingly. Not to complain... but when do I get my end of the deal? And no, I don't want your flippin' carrot. If you can't do that give me back my youth and keep the change. Why don't you try chasing your own damn carrot for a change? I'll gladly hold the stick.

If you ask people in a way that doesn't come off like a dick. They will answer you honestly and with much vigor. You have to at least admit that the way you asked in no ways insinuates that you truly care about the people in question's feelings.
Have you yet seen a post where someone asked a question worded in a way that expressed true curiosity not answered? Because I haven't.
If you were wearing a shirt you really liked and someone randomly walked up to you and asked you, "Why are you wearing that stupid ass shirt? That's the most retarded thing I've ever seen. Hahaha!!!" How would you react? Before judging the response you get, try thinking about what kind of response you were trying to get. If you get a bad response it 9 times out of 10 has to do with you, not who you are asking.

I'll give you three reasons why I want to play it (even though I'm not going to play it).
I like the class system. I like that one character can do everything. No more alts and changing classes on the fly sounds like a great idea. And a fun one.
I like the slower paced combat. It reminds me of old-school rpgs turn based system. That is appealing to me for whtever reason. It feels more strategic.
I love the character models in the game. Just amazingly done. Enemies and players alike.

If you think I "come off like a dick" then maybe this forum is not a good place for you. I know all about trolling here and have been in countless arguments with haters on this forum. Maybe I have become jaded
I don't have a problem with how you responded. You are the one who took offence!

Why are you assuming that I have a problem with that? Some people are just assholes and that's who they are. Heck that's who I am. I have no qualms with it. I'm just telling you why you aren't finding out what you are looking for. most people do not respond well to that type of communication.

to the person wanting to know what's good about the game... well for me...
1) Character models.
2) Combat animation
3) The music
4) The dialogue
5) The story
6) Minigams for gathering (especially fishing)
7) Player made economy where crafting matters and gear is obtained primarily from crafting.
8) The class system (being everying and anything by switching a weapon).
9) No global chat.... (+1 all around)
10) Behests.
11) ..... the Graphics.
12) SE is developing the game so I know there will be solid support for it and constant content patches (more free classes to level, maybe advanced classes, etc etc.)
The single best thing about FFXIV is all of the people who I know won't be playing it.
I know that is what I'm looking forward to the most. The community certainly has its moments, FFXI sure did, but it is devoid of so many of who have become the stereotypical MMO fanbase as of late.
Hands down the best comment I've read in a long time.
Since this game will release in about half a month I think its the most intressting game out atm. So I will surely play it. Its very complex in the start but after I played a few hour more it started to get intressting.
I dont think most people played long enough to appreciate the game in its full. I dont think that 8 hour is enough just to try this game. I enjoyed the beta, all except the spammers wanting to sell gold (lol selling gold in beta). So appart from that I had fun in beta and is greatful to be able to try it out before I buy it,
