Comment on Final Fantasy XIV Player Populations At Death’s Door by Anonymous:

The lead developer that they brought on recently has been conducting player polls to find out what the players want, and is opening an official forum soon. He seems to have his head on straight, but he’s got a big mess to clean up. Time will tell if he has the cajones to make the major changes the game needs.

They’ve already made a lot of improvements, but the pace and quality isn’t especially reassuring. In another year, this game will be ready for launch… if it survives that long. At least unless they can turn around the battle system, which is the glaring elephant in the flaw room.

  First off, yeah it was coming, we all saw it coming from the day it was released, but that aside, i believe square’s increasing reliance on visuals and acceptance by foreign markets has made it unable to compete with even the most basic of rpgs these days. what made ff7/8/9/10 so popular? sidequests, big maps, customization, and even comedy factors in there. 13/14 have none of that, you’re forced to walk the same path everyone else that ever played the game has to walk, with no unique …

  Don’t mind nail art, as long as the nails are short. How the hell do they expect to use their hands with nails that long?

  Show’s how bad shitnaku is actually is quite shit. Instead of posting stats tell what’s the difference between them? You won’t of course with you shitty journalism not much at all right? PS4 is probably only marginally better than Xbox one but the way gaming consoles are going Nintendo is going to be at top.
