mmorpg.com is filled with so many people who get hyped about x game, then when it comes out, they play it for what? a day 2 or 3? and base it as "THIS GAME SUCKS" and form retarded reasons based on a narrow persepective. LOL
so i am saying goodbye to these boards, if you want to talk FFXIV without trolls or morons, mainly those who enjoyed it... try this site
To your major surprise Nadriell, most of us don't need more than a few hours to decide if a game has horrible faults. And if the people that make this discovery put some ammount of hope for a good title, there is a sure recipe for flaming and trolling.
By this deffinition, I myself am pissed at this title. Tried to see only the good things, but I can only find the graphics in that column. The one filled with negatives, on the other hand, is quite long.
Looks like a good site to keep up to date with the info and stuff.
No, it sucks, all it has is lil red dots everywhere when it should have green ones. I think someone needs to contact the web site administrator and complain. ;-)

and that gets you where in life? if the game is not to your liking uninstall, theres no need to come on the boards and create, oh 20-30 topics telling how BAD it is... Chances are, the people who don't like it and create these threads, are talking to each other, because the people who do like it are in the game enjoying it. its not just FFXIV i am talking about, its every game thats came down the pipe since i decided to create this profile and begin posting here.. bottom line is, Rage in silence, move on, and let go...... making multiple posts on how BAD something is doesn't make sense, its like beating a dead horse, no matter how much you beat him, he can't get any more dead then he already is...... or she if its a female horse, but that would just make you cruel
i need to convince you how bad of a game it is though so you don't waste your life playing it happily
Hahahaha, thats just the best one liner I have seen today!

nope no ego... Im not anyone important enough to have one to defend.... i will read the boards till i am tired, watch Godzilla and chill till i can either play or as i have stated, and too tired to stay awake. I just like talking to fellow gamers, even if we agree to disagree
when arent the servers down. lol between the problematic disconnects, servers going down, the graphical issues, the sluggish amatuerish UI, and software cursor problems, what can you expect. I am hoping it improves, and improves fast. WIth so much competition in the MMO genre, you have maybe one chance to make a first impression.

yeah thats nice and all, but also realize colorizing this game in only positive light does not give people who are on the fence about this game a truly "factual" outlook on the game. A game should have both negative and positive comments, this allows the potential subscriber to determine if this game is worth his/her money or if it is something he/she should pass up until it is worth the purchase. What truly saddens me that you come attacking people about how they are berating the game about the problems that most people have already experienced. Now, whether or not they choose to look past those problems and play it, it is completely up to them. However, to exclude any negative comments on the game that are factual and present is hiding and masking the truth of the game, and you are nothing more than a lair, trying to mislead people into believing everything is rosey and fun, when it is not.
I will not deny the game has its good points, its Final fantasy title after all, it plays well on a console,it looks pretty. but the under lying problems with the game are almost not worth the hassle. Frankly I do not need to include as you can easily read via multiple posts about. In the end when you get mad at a person complaining about the game that is effecting almost everyone, and you come in and try to censor it or belittle it, you are not doing the community a service. You are in fact hindering the community as they get a skewed view of the game that they would otherwise decide differently on. I would rather see both negative and positive aspects to a game, and then decide it. I do not want someone coming around trying to hide faults, to me that is dirty,immature, suspicious and not worth my money if they are that desperate to misguide someone to play the game.

not unacceptable. but it coming close to the point that these issues are effecting its positive standing. beta or not, alot of these issues should of been handled prior to an open beta. Secondly, the game is being released in the next few weeks, any issues present now, might or might not be fixed before release. The server issues are the biggest hinderance so far. then the sluggish UI, and the software cursor ( dont even know why they even decided not to put in a hardware cursor yet)
in the end I may buy the game, eventually. until then i will let everyone else muck and trudge through the problems after release. so when i come in I wont have to worry about it....maybe lol.

and i agree with you entirely, all accept for one point you put in your post which i highlighted in red for you. I have never flamed anyone based on there opinions, i make stick in cheap shots for fun, or a quick LOL, but nothing serious. I learned a long time ago that Opinions are like ass holes, everyone has one. No game is perfect, especially in the MMO market. Its what the devs do to fix whats broken. I am merely commenting on the 30 posts all stating how bad the game sucks, it could have easily been wrapped into 1 post.. or 2... 1 the pro FFXIV players and 2. the Con FFXIV ex-players... I guess i just get tired of coming on the board and seeing 8 different posts on the same thing thats all.
you can post "this game blows donkey balls" thats fine... i don't care, one man's food is another man's poison. Its the 16 other members who will make the exact same thread for no apparent reason but to bitch.... not a review, not even educated just 2 sentence posts sometimes "This games sucks, i won't play it because it sucks, and i hate christmas too" WHAT THE POINT? its not beneficial to informing anyone, its just stupidity and laziness. IMO... again opinions are like ass holes.
As for people siting on the fence waiting, WHY are you doing that? stop being lazy and join the OB, not just FFXIV, ANY game for that matter, form your OWN opinion and stop counting on people to do it for you...... you are not a sheep, break off from the flock and think for yourselves.

Game feels like a mess to me. Not even considering the constant downtimes during this OB, the UI is awful for mouse/keyboard users, the mouse cursor lags, the patcher is nearly useless for many people, client performance is shoddy, and the game cannot even be minimized without it crashing. Hopefully there are fixes that are planned to be implemented on release day, because I would expect more from SquareEnix than what I'm seeing right now.
