Final Fantasy XIV- Save your money

Fenex · 2010-08-30T22:35:20+00:00

I thought with less than a month till the game goes live i would warn as many people as i can... I have been beta testing for a few months, Open beta starts torrmow (this could change things, though i have little faith it will) As it currently stands... Its Much like All other Square Enix Titles of the past 2 years or so. It looks pretty the rest of it is a disappointment... If your looking For An MMO to put 25+ hours a week into, this is not a game for you. There is no plans for an auction house.. players are forced to interact with one another to buy and sell goods... most if not all equipment is crafted, Problem is the crafting system is awful and players will spend countless hours and money trying to craft one item... The Game looks pretty.. it plays decent (alot of aspects of combat remind me of wow). The So Called "Class-less" system Really is but isnt at the same time... Your class is determined by what is in your main hand... as you level that class you learn new ablitys.... once learned they can be equiped by any class, unless otherwise stated on the ability its self. Back to economy.. each account is issued an Npc called a Retainer.. this retainer can sit idle in a zone for retainers to idle and sell goods(even while your not online)... however retainers can only sell maximum of 10 items at a time, they also act as an item bank of sorts holding un-needed items for you.. you can purchase additional retainers for an additional 2-3 dollars a month... based on this as well as the fact SE is pushing it as a "casual MMO" (a concept i solidly believe cannot work) At least at this time it FF14 is shaping up, as a half ass attempt to Generate income for SE ... easiest way jump on the mmo bandwagon. Open beta could change a great deal of things... but the issues i have stated are not bugged and working as intended. If your Dead set on buying it.. i would say wait atleast 6months to a year and see if things have improved. Just a warning to my fellow gamers

DOHOHOHOHO! I wonder what the fanboys will invent to support this. This is embarassing man.

Square finally crossed the line between *They still CAN!!! and Total annihilation*

I just hope that fans WILL learn.

Bullshit game btw, great vid dude.

I'm still waiting for reviews on the final product. While it looks like theres a less than a slim chance to redeem the online series, I'll still wait till it comes out.

Nothing like the final verdict for me.
