Matsui: "Don't Throw Away Your R/M/E Weapons Yet"

I'm not as optimistic. I have cancelled my account until they at the very least make an announcement with a concrete plan. This isn't the only reason I cancelled but part of me hopes they will notice if enough people cancel and make it a bit more important of an update. We shall see though. For now I will play out May =).

If they're able to do what he alluded to, we'll see an announcement this month.

Otherwise, I'm sure they'll continue to investigate other means. Either way, I'm excited!




The "end of FFXI" is looking pretty balmy!

Kannagi for the win

"But you said BLU could duo Briareus with a WHM/solo this Apollyon zone/solo this random Abyssea NM"
"Well yes, I did"
"You lied, you actually know nothing about this game, we wiped within 20%"
"Maybe you should get an eva, PDT, <insert proper set for BLU>"
"Wouldn't have changed anything, you lied, I'll shout for more people"

And this is why I stopped playing with any of my coworkers and will probably never do it again.

LOL

WHAT I NEED MORE THAN ONE SET

*** THIS NOISE

Console limitations.

If you wiped in Abyssea you deserved it!

Anyone find it funny that he posted about delve, but not about REM's and comments?

I'm not holding my breath at this point, I don't think they are coming back :[ I hope I am wrong though

I'm not surprised, I expect this really.

Gonna give them to the weekend before I do unsub or anything, I want to to see some kind of post about it.

Neither am I. :( I thought I'd quit when the servers shut down, not kicking and screaming Q_Q!!!

Goodnight, guys.

Honestly, I'd rather them not say anything about R/E/M updates till they figure out wtf they are even going to do with them. Otherwise, another half assed answer will just have this topic forum double in two days. However, I'm giving them another month to come up with something...it's really not that difficult...

Dearest Banana,

Many people threatened to quit, and no doubt, many of us question why we're still playing but the attachment to our pixels will keep us playing. They can make my gear irrelevant but I'm still proud of it, if that makes any sense.

The attachment to the pixels, in defiance of the rules of theworld they reside, will keep too many people-including myself-playing.

Thus, SE will learn no message. The small number that quits will be countered by the small number that comes back, for a time, because of this.

And I'm sure we well know, that staying away from XI is hard. Despite everything done to it, it is the game i've played, apart from devs and graphics.

With love,
Grapefruit.

I was in the middle of slowly building my first Empys (lvl 80 Gandiva; 80 Masa 16/75 Souls for Ochain) and slowly farming dyna currency for Spharai (got about 50% of the currency in a safe place).

At the current rate though, completing any of these is going to be a huge waste of time. The real kick in the face, is the current mind set of "REM weapon only" to join any of the Delve content, so that I can get hands on a Delve weapon. Fortunately, I have BRD/WHM and other support jobs to fill the gap, but i do enjoy using a DD job on occasion too!

Oh we upgraded from slap in the face to kick in the face!

Wait till next month, gonna be a d*ckslap to the face. From there... Oh, you don't wanna know.

I feel like in these last two posts I wasn't kissed. Maybe in the next posts they won't use lube.

Very true and i couldn't have said it better. But attachement to the pixels can be found elsewhere too. The direction Matsui is taking FFXI will soon make it pretty similar to many newer MMORPGs out there and even F2P MMORPGs.

I, for one, since i never tried another MMORPG, i'm curious to see what is out there since Matsui has given me this chance.

As i said before, FFXI will always be in my heart and i cherish the times i had with it. I'm also happy many players don't mind the changes and will continue to play and old players making a come back, that is a very good thing. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and can choose what they like.

For me the following quote is one of many things that i read and agreed 100% as far as R/M/E concerned.


For me Kelhor and Sylow are 2 of few people in this topic that have my respect since their posts are right to the point on the things this update has changed, and look things on rather meticulous and objective way. So some of you who are too bored to read the whole topic can read only their posts as they talk about not only R/M/E but for nearly everything this update affected.

Some may not agree on the above but that is my humble opinion.

Cheers all. :)

I don't expect them to say anything at the moment. It would be foolish of him to open his mouth again if it's anything short of "complete overhaul of RME" or "go *** yourself".

Frankly, I'm kind of glad they're not saying anything yet because I can foolishly hope he's choosing his words wisely (or writing the games obituary).

Matsui is likely too scared of us atm.

and by "us" you mean the raging JP on their forum. they don't give two squirts about the other regions, as evidenced by various other decisions they've made.

Matsui's probably busy shouting in Port Jeuno for help with the first Limit Break quest.

Didn't they make that soloable a ways back?

Yeah I can't help but feel like what he put out last time was thrown together in around 5 minutes.

So what you are saying is a casual took this game over xD.

I think you might be reading too much into it if you are serious. More likely he is attempting to bring XI more in line with the same concepts as other MMOs. What he somehow failed to account for was the amount of people who play XI because it is not like other MMOs.

The level 40 thing was a long time ago too if I remember right so he might be higher since that.

Dude.... it's a game.

Its just a game man and I'm sure he sleeps pretty good with all the money they keep making off of people who keep saying they are going to Rage quit.
