Yeah... I can see the merit of waiting for the ps3 version. At least I wont have to spend money on upgrading my pc to play it on high graphics quality. If the game will look like FFXIII but be MMO form (I think that's what they're aiming for) then I'll be quite happy to try it then.
First, @Duppesm. Great post thanks for the insight.
I think you are right Oakierush. now that I think about it. if its ganna be on console as well, that means the interface and what not has to be gewd for controller as well. I'm thinking an enormous amount of people playing FF14 are looking for another MMO but not realizing its probably being focused for console. Making for different combat, interface and most of all landscape memory. Copying and pasteing landscape was probably the best way they could go about making larger zones and keeping it console CPU able.
1- There is a tiredness kind of feature. You play more than certain number of hours for one class continuously (8 hours i think) and then gradually your experience decreases because you get tired. I read on an interview that this feature was put in to give incentive to people to change classes and try something new.
2- There is no autoattack. It is a FF13 style combat and you have to keep inputting skills to fire. But with current server instability there is a lot of lag in regions of high population so this is not smooth at all.
3- There are something called guildleves. They are sort of like quests in WoW, just a lot downgraded. For combat guildleves, you are told to go and kill monsters etc and it provides you with more exp than just normally killing mobs. At the moment, you can only do 16 of these guidlleves every 2 days. So outside of guildleves it is a mob grind or crafting grind.
This alone makes me not believe that you have actually played the game at all or done correct research into the game.
I wonder if the typos were done by Americans who only had a smattering of Japanese? It seems more like the typical errors of a newbie to the language more so than anything. I don't think it's fair to blame it on the Chinese just because SE is working with Shanda to port it there.
I'm sure there's players in Japan that both love it or hate it...just like here in the west.
Gotta always remember this: people are more apt to whine about something they don't like then praise something they do like. That's especially true of forum posters. They post more about something they don't like, because if they like a game they're prolly off playing it.
oh but wail...I'm here now posting when I should be playing....hmmmm....kk, forget I said anything

If a man speaks in the woods and there's no woman there to hear him...is he still lying?

Despite all this. i still want to play it. does that mean im stupid?
It means you are bored, there aren't many triple A titles coming up in the near future, mmo or not.
yea there is. Cataclysm and I consider DC Online to be worthy of my time.
