Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Given that the beta is still missing half of the content, I don't think you can safely make any such assumptions at this point.

Some content you'll need 4 or 8 people for though Faelar but it should be easy to get members

Even in fates it's easy to team up. Most people will accept invites and it makes it way easier to heal and buff everyone

Sophie Tilgung on Behemoth. Lancer, of course.

even in fates you really DON'T have to team up... you just go in and do your thing, it's a team effort yes... but your not in a party (or does it auto team you? I never pay attention to that lol >.>)

No but being in a party makes it easier if you want heals lol, it's so annoying clicking on people who run around like headless chickens

I dont think it id the fact that how 14 is build, rather, the MMO market is rather crowded now than when it was when XI came out, so it is harder for it to find a adequate spot to expand upon and keep the playerbase interest active, and not to mention, the burn it got from 1.0 has been hard to reover from.

I didn't say you were; I'm saying that you can't judge a full game based on a demo. Until we see Frontlines and endgame dungeons like the Labyrinth of Bahamut/Crystal Tower in action at least, it's pretty silly to start throwing around assumptions about the lifespan of the game.
It'd be like judging FFXI while ignoring HNMs, KSNMs, Dynamis, etc.

hmmm dominos for lunch.

its still phase 3 beta right??

Acceptable.

Yup.

Leonnn, you should join the LS we made lol

holy *** man ...


went out to get the mail... our neighbours dog was outside and started chasing my *** ... had to almost beat it down with an old *** umbrella we had outside :/ looked like it was about to attack lol...


(it's the *** wheelchair ... they don't know what it is, so they feel threatened by it x.x...I HOPE... unless that dogs just batshit *** crazy)

Just drive over it

I don't play the beta much. Don't want to end up ruining the actual release by having to repeat too much stuff.

I can speed through the story missions up until Sastasha at least, after that I'll carefully read (when I get to save progress)

this wasn't a poodle lol... i wasn't really looking but it was a bigger dog :/ he didn't sound that friendly either.

that's what i'm doing lol... I can read through it all when it's saved, when I don't have to worry about time constraints.

For me what makes a MMO is the people not just the game it self... I would never have played FFXI for as long as I did with out the group of people I met and played with, it was the same deal with 1.0 in XIV. I gave it another go after the job system was introduced and while the changes to the game at that point made it undeniably enjoyable it was the awesome group of people I met that kept me wanting to play. It's a package deal really, I've played other MMOs that were fun as well but I never managed to meet anyone so my interest just trailed off after hitting the level cap.

On the gameplay side as you get higher levels and the class comes into it's own they all handle quite differently from one another. The early levels definitely suffer from the same issue as every other MMO I've played of being repetitive and somewhat boring.

Ff14 seems alright for me but what really is gonna make it fun for me is just it being a new game and playing with Uri. Pretty much why I want to play it come August, so I can have a new experience with the people I enjoy playing with.

Is it bad that the only thing i'm looking forward to with xiv is finishing my crafts? <,<
It's pretty. I enjoyed making different characters and running around, just to look at things, but not sure if i'm actually interested in playing it >:

That similar situation playing it with others is prolly the ONLY reason I will be dragged into a MMO again. Got stuck into FFXI to play with my friends I moved away from.

Put a lance on your thinga thing you got.

That'll learn you to reach max level in 1.0!
