So it's acceptable to make no changes then. It's acceptable for a company to make the same mistakes 8 years ahead.
I think you'll find most people don't agree with you there.
again, stop saying "the company." It isn't "the company" it was the old team. THE OLD TEAM. You know, the guys that got taken off of the project because they sucked? Are you understanding ANYTHING that I type? Team =/= Company. Tanaka's team =/= Square Enix. Stop being an idiot, but to answer your question, no, it's not acceptable to make no changes. Why the *** would you think that I thought it was acceptable when I've been talking ***about the old team ever since they said that the US player base cried too much? You really must be completely dense.
The old team who should be been overseen by the COMPANY, the COMPANY who made the same exact mistakes with their first MMO. Teams aren't given free reign you know, there is a certain degree of oversight.
Do you honestly think Tanaka's theme was told "Go at it" and not given any sort of quality assurance from the XI team or other members of other teams? Really Dubont? Are you really that ignorant to how game development works?

I would have thought the president of SE still would have gone over the project and saw it's state, and been the person to give the all clear on launching it or not, correct me if I'm wrong though

You are correct. Quality assurance isn't just left in one team, because the team creating a game can be biased in both ways. It's played by a lot of people and I'd assume the XI team would be one of the main teams asked to test the quality.

Really? Really? Really? Is that all the *** you can say? You aren't understanding anything. Really Flionheart? Are you really that ignorant to what I'm saying? 1 team doesn't make an entire company. Yes, the team may be looked after by the company, but the decisions of the team does NOT reflect the ideas of the company as a whole.
Again, unless you can make a point that is 1) valid 2) Up to date and 3) a true complaint, I don't want to converse with a numbskull such as yourself.

You seem to think that one team is completely ostracised from the company and other teams in the company.
The game has a lack of content, levelling up and fighting NM's doesn't count as end game content, you can think it is all you want but I'm afraid you're wrong.

NMs aren't end game content? Oh please, so Kirin wasn't endgame? Genbu? AV? Odin? None of those were endgame? What about Tiamat? What about Ixion? None of those were endgame?

Comparing 3~ NM's with what? 20? Do you consider simmy and serket endgame?
obviously this is really old, never saw it before though http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgtZvn5c4e4
what happened to the game looking like this? :< this actually looks like a final fantasy game
I think most of the people posting here arent even rank 50 yet, so how can they complain about exhausting content =p Even when you do hit 50 you need to go and rank up other classes to get stat conversion traits and abilities to complement your primary class. So when you get to 50 maybe then you can complain about having nothing to do. its like all those 12 yrd olds in Wow who complain about not being able to go raid ICC because they're lvl 20. =p
i think it's legitimate for non 50's to call the content exhausting.
besides nonstop repeating leves and grinding there isn't anything else.
i'm on it since the prerelease with friends and we aren't 50 yet, but just because we can't stand it to grind/leve all day long.
i've had multiple jobs to 75 in FFXI, on 3 different accounts, but still, grinding for hours in FFXI was more enjoyable then it is currently in FFXIV.
i do enjoy my stay in FFXIV aslong as i'm not overdoing it.
i'd rather go at a slow pace and wait for SE to get this game right, then lvl all my characters to 50 now where the leveling process is rather boring and flat.
i'd like to get some real group efforts back into FFXIV that FFXI had.
not just throw 15 different ppl at one mob, making sure 2 of those are healers atleast so they can cure spam the group every few hits.
even big raids like dynamis took more brain then this does currently.
calling it Final Fantasy, but yet giving us such crappy group fights isn't right, they can do better, and i want them to make it better.

by exhausting content i mean, doing all the content/running out of content =p you couldnt have done everything there is to do at r18 (some of these posters) =p
they killed the game when they decided to let pepole solo and not involve friends into something except leves wich get boring after a bit.
They killed the party and now they are tryin to restore it
Problem with the game is the completely lack of multiplayer gaming system, FFXI was all about missions together, party together, exploring together, quests together, NMs together, everything was meant to be with someone else, mostly party or alliance of people.
In support of this FFXI had a really good search function and party/seek invite system, wich FFXIV doesnt have at all.
FFXIV search function is plain HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE, totally useless, they should just copy/paste the system from FFXI. It isnt that hard.
Those things made the game die, in my opinion.
Its really hard to get back on track now, most people took a long break and after you take a break is really hard to find a motivation to come back, i personally took a break and i'm still in break, logged yesterday and went offline after 10 minutes.
No idea what will happen, but to be really honest they ruined the to me, they ruined the joy of playing a Final Fantasy game, now that i am 50, and other stuff average 30+, i feel i have no meaning into playing anymore unless they add a HEAVY huge content wich doesnt finish in 2 weeks of gameplay, and that will never happen in my opinion, at least not in few weeks.
As i said, more time passes the worse it will be. Sure they are working on it, ok, but keep in mind that i think its already too late.
In my opinion they should have wiped all characters, pause the servers, and rebuild from scratch something no one saw so far, because now people who played those months (a bad game) find the game already dead, bored, and nothing to do.
I already saw the game, and i already lost all the "magic" around a Final Fantasy title when it comes out, they ruined it to me..really really bad.
"In my opinion they should have wiped all characters, pause the servers, and rebuild from scratch"
i think they would lose even more players considering the amount of time people have put into this game. =p I know i would quit, having months and months of grinding SP and building uncle scrooges money bin flushed away =p
Patch 1.15a, which is set to go live Wednesday, February 2, will contain a number of changes in line with the wealth of player feedback we have continued to receive, such as the way in which skill and experience points are awarded based on party composition or enemy rank, and the addition of a number of new text commands.
Battle
Skill and Experience Point Awards
Several balancing changes will be made that will bring greater benefits than ever before to multi-player battle. Party bonuses will be adjusted to award larger amounts of skill and experience points based on party size. Further changes will also ensure that greater differences between player and enemy rank will yield greater rewards as well. The amount of skill and experience points available from enemies ranked lower than a player will be reduced, but defeating enemies ranked higher than oneself will now yield greater amounts.
For players engaging in solo battle, the amount of skill and experience points currently awarded after rank 20 falls off sharply. To address this, we will be implementing changes that will better balance the amount available between ranks 20 and 23.
3-D Battle Text
The placement of 3-D battle text, such as damage and healing values, will be adjusted to prevent the overlapping of separate numbers. In addition, battle text will be color-coded in the following manner.
Text Commands
/display head (subcommand on/off)
The /display head text command can be used to toggle the graphic display of a piece of equipment currently equipped in the head slot.
/display head on – Display head gear.
/display head off – Hide head gear.
* This command cannot be used while in active mode.
/clock
The /clock feature is being implemented to allow players to easily confirm the amount of time remaining until the reset of several in-game timers, such as the reissue of guildleves or the regeneration of anima.
Use of this command will display the current time (Earth time), together with the following information.
Time remaining until guildleve reissue
Time remaining until anima regeneration
Time remaining until next behest
