Maskedweasel,
I'm positive that they can make any MMO work with a controller, FFXI pulled that off flawlessly. But they would have to really limit the game, draw distance, number of players rendered etc, but another major thing is PC games use 3…
However I do think it would be nice to see the PC version ported to consoles, it would definitelty boost the community and bring diversity. Only thing is if a game is designed for consoles while in development like FFXI was then the game will be hor…
I understand SE withholding info on gameplay and all that stuff, but I really wish they would just explain to us how the UI and macro system will work.
I don't think SE would do it either and if they did I really don't know if I would do it. I mean even if XIV is world better than XI they will just have another MMO to replace it eight or so years later.
I think we need to learn more about how character progression will take place in XIV before we can say anything more about the new system they are creating. Right now everything is being based off XI and other MMO's and XIV is going to be a differen…
I'm worried about it as well, I want XIV to draw me in just as much as XI did. But we will just have to wait and see. They have spent the past four years working on this system and wouldn't implement this system if they didn't think people would enj…
Maybe they will do something like a EXP chain in FFXI, but if you switch your class you lose your chain. Sort of to discourage sporadic class switching but still giving you that option.
That's not what I'm saying, a system with both soloing and grouping is a perfect system in my book, there's days I don't want to deal with people and days I do. My worry is that groups will only be needed to kill things such as HNM's or do some epic…
I agree with what your saying, it's definitely true and not everyone will be pleased no matter what. I think the fear here is that with a system like this, it will kill grouping for those who wish to do so.
I loved that in FFXI you had to work your ass off to level, let alone achieve anything else. Sure it was tedious and sometimes boring, but at least you could set yourself apart from others and meet some pretty cool people along the way.
I loved the group aspect of XI, it really brought the community together. I so far hate the idea of this system, I think it sounds terrible. But I'm keeping a open mind and no one will really know how it is until we try it out. Se has been working o…
It will be smaller, but hopefully there will be more content actually in the cities so you don't need to venture out into the ends of the world fifteen levels into the game.
