FFXVI gameplay disaapointing

FurorFuror Member Posts: 374

after 4 days of gameplay i find ffxvi disappointing, and its ui is archaic and bad. I even find the combat is too damn slow compare to ffxi.

Is this going to be a final build release, because if it is im not buying it.

 

I canceled 2 ffxvi collector's edition, i like the grpahics but thts about it as a pro otherwise they need to change and improve its ui and combat is extremely slooooooooow Im talking sloooooooooooow, it puts you to sleep.

i was not expecting this at all.

o well 2 ffxvi collector's edition canceled as of now.

 

im a fan of ffxi, and i thought ffxvi was an improvement from ffxi, but holy crap how did they make this game go backward in time. i did not think its possible to make a really bad sequel.

Im puzzled as to how is it possible for square to make a game worse then ffxi, i though ffxvi is goign to be an improvement over ffxi for real.  I am totally shocked.

    The community already feels your loss my friend. You will be missed. Hope another MMO treats you better.

    How can xiv be slower then xi?

    In xi you have to open a menu every single time in xiv you press a skill and if you have enough stamina your character will do it how's that slower? or you mean xiv skills have decent animations while xi skills were simple?

    That's all from your OP I can't understand.

    Goodluck on whatever pleases you.

    To be fair, as you said it's OPEN beta. This means that while the build will not be final, the differences between the current build and release will be fairly small. I think that's all he's getting at.

    Remember guys, this is OPEN beta. This means that the game should be doing little more than stress testing at this point. The game should basically be ready for release in it's current state, minus server stabillity issues. Now, honestly ask yourselves, do you think that's the only improvement this game need?

    I too enjoyed FFXI. It had it's flaws, but overall was a really immersive game with a good storyline progression. I hope FFXIV proves us all wrong, I really do. However, if I'm to use my better judgement I cannot seriously justify putting money into this game at it's current state.

    Slow...umm ok.  i have tried 7 classes now, and they all have varing speeds of attacking. Gladiator seemed quickes of what i tried, about an attack a second, but you would drain stamina too fast keeping that up. Your attack position also effects damage so you can move to flank or behind mob inbetween.

    Sorry its not as fast as you would like, like a fps?

    looking at it from a logical perspective if the same company that made FFXI is making FFXIV then it should contain the same immersiveness and storyline design that is possibly even better wouldn't it?

    "This is Open Beta", "See you", "Can I have your stuff?" "Quit complaining." *sigh*. The responses from the community really put a drain on anyone interested in the game at all.

    That is to say, the OP has legitimate issues here. If combat feels too slow and the UI feels nonintuitive then there does need to be mention of that. Fast paced MMORPG players will want to know what type of game they are about to experience before they play it; especially players who have not participated in beta.

    If a player of FFXI finds the combat slow than I seriously worry about the direction this game is going. While I admit I haven't played beta, I have been browsing these forums reading every little detail about the game I can. A real life friend who is in beta has been feeding me information and so far he has echoed what has been said on these forums. I've known this friend for years and he has been a hardcore player of MMORPGs since time immoral: FFXI, WoW, Aion and other MMORPGs, both past and present so I trust his opinions.

    Anyway, that's all I wanted to say.
