okay, so a few people asked me about the game.
to start, I think a lot of the negative criticism is coming from people who were expecting something else. as a LONG time player of FFXI, I was already used to how Square does their MMOs. It's fairly different that something like WoW, so if you're transitioning from something like that, it's really gonna throw you, and you'd likely get a bad impression. one of the other sticking points, is that it's pretty complicated at times. the forging system is sort of hard to get right sometimes, and some stuff isn't exactly straightforward.
additionally, because it's only been out for about a week, nobody really knows what they're doing yet. so, there's not a whole lot of guides out there, and for crafting, the recipes are still pretty spotty. so, it's all new right now, and there's lots to learn. but, I find that exciting.
I'll post more about some of the games better points later on.
Well I'm not really a gamer, but i appreciate the comments and i thing this is a good blog.
ReplyDeleteI'll follow you my friend
have a nice day
Ok, one peeve i have about this series, is that if it were my FINAL fantasy, there would certainly be titties everywhere. Everywhere.
ReplyDeletegive me some vide and pics :)
ReplyDeleteDidn't they add some kind of XP-limiter system? So you could only advance so much every week?
ReplyDeleteThat seems like it would be a bit of a hindrance to the game.
i read this twice and i'm still so lost lol i think i'm stoned.
ReplyDeleteblegh the day i play a FF MMO is the day i give up video games. And im still not giving up video games. it may have potentiulz but im not sure i can agree with it.
ReplyDeleteI've never even heard of this game!!!!!Not much of a PC gamer...love the Console.....
ReplyDeleteI'm not really sure what to think about the game. I was following the news, looked ad screenshots and videos and it looks OK, but, on the other hand, I'm not hearing good things from allot of people.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm gonna have to wait and see for myself.
i dont want to get into RPGs.. dont want to get addicted xD
ReplyDeletenice post
ReplyDelete@ max yeah i have to be cautious with rpgs also for the very same reason :)
ReplyDeleteAs a fan of more Zelda-ish types of games, do you think this would still be a fun game to play?
ReplyDeletefor a fan of Zelda, no, probably not. the combat is a bit slower that that, though faster than older final fantasies.
ReplyDeleteI'll post some screens and stuff soon, and yeah, there's an XP limited, but it's done per job. on average, you're leveling several jobs at a time, so I still haven't run into it. it's something like 8 hours a week, per job. seems low, but in reality, it's not that bad.
I'll cover more stuff in my next update.
haven't liked a single ff after ffx. I even tried the mmo but that sucked balls. let see is square can surprise us.
ReplyDeleteThe new FF MMO looks really cool, and the graphics are shockingly good for an MMO. I am used to the WoW type MMO and I heard that you ca't jump in this new FF game. For me lacking something simple such as a jump in an MMO kills the experience for me even though it may not be necessary to the gameplay.
ReplyDeleteim the biggest ff nut ever!
ReplyDeleteWhat is this? Final Fantasy?
ReplyDeleteSquare like to screw things up to often look what they did to supreme commander 2 only gave the community 1 4v4 map then months later release a dlc with 2 or 3 more 4v4 maps but charge $10 i dont know if they do this with their rpg titles but they should stick with what they know and thats not rts
ReplyDeleteNever really played FF before, but one of my friend's says it's a great game.
ReplyDeleteToo slow and too linear for me, sorry
ReplyDeletei just love this game- it never fails to entertain and burn up so much of my time
ReplyDeleteits so good using time on :p
ReplyDeletethe game has really nice graphics
ReplyDeleteSavage game
ReplyDeleteYes would like to see some snapshots of the game!

ReplyDeleteHey my friend, keep posting, now you have some fans!
ReplyDeleteAnd you have a very good blog.
I'll try it just to break from wow :D
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to more posts.
ReplyDeleteFF9 was the last good final fantasy. 10 was okay, and then from there they degraded.
ReplyDeleteI play FFXIV also. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI really liked the newest one :D
ReplyDeletewow I stooped at FFX didn't realize there are so many now where have I been.
