Congratz on totally pushing my comment out of proportion.

Oh and on that note, congrats on posting a totally useless comment too.

And what the hell is a "raspiest"?

Anyone having issues with EU/NA servers populating? Site states they are online, but I can only see JP servers.Arthas045

I dont mind a sub fee if said sub fee brings me quality.

So I had the old FF14 and thought this would be free for those of us that bought the original game. Its not that big of a deal right now because I want to wait till the servers level out, but I cant find the download client. I can log in as my old ff14 id but they done seem to make it easy or I am missing something. Do I have to buy the game again?

Really weird I still cannot get into the game...  Figured they would have this resolved by now, but probably due to congestion.  I really do not want to start a new character on a JP server.

Tried really hard liking this game but it sucks compared to Guild Wars 2. Feels really antiquated still.

I found GW2 to be really boring compared to FF14.

With FF14 it felt great actually needing to be relied on since I am the healer and without me everyone in the dungeon party would be screw just like without a tank everyone would have been screwed as well.

GW2 felt boring because everyone can heal and revive and no one felt as if they stood out from one another.

The dungeons and hests in FF14 are much better than anything in GW2.

I'd agree team work in GW2 sucks. They got rid of the holy trinity of classes but that wasn't a bad thing in the first place, it forced people to work as a team.

Outside of that though, fast travel, amazing combat, fairly good story-telling with characters and a level of choice to made,  tons and tons of armour. No need for grouping up. Auomatically collect rewards. Scripted talking NPC's. Dailys, lots of free content. It's just a hodgepodge of fixes alot of people hate about MMO's. I have 3 maxes out characters and I usually hate MMO's. If it forced you to have classes like GW1, it would be alot better though. Dungeons tend to amount towards hack-in-slash.

For an mmo FF14 has a great story and it has tons to do also.

Also every 3 months they will add new content packages.

The best part of FF14 is the end game content which has some challenging dungeons which require great teamwork.

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"][QUOTE="Arthas045"] Yeah I seen the news on the site and I got in shortly after this post.Geminon

Sorry but when people cannot log into a game for a week, and many cannot even create characters due to server lockouts.....that is a **** launch. I have played every major MMO since UO, this is absolutely one of the worst I have seen. What good is a bug free optimized game if you can't log in to play it??? And yes there are people on some of the more busy servers using autohotkey and still taking 30-60 minutes to get in the queue, then it is not uncommon to get booted from it as well. Last night I could not even get the NA servers to show up. It is a mess, and people like you trying to make it less than that is getting on my nerves...seriously. 

I know it will be fixed but the complaints this past week are 100% legit, and it is so bad the head guy actually cried while apologizing lol. Tears dude....for what is not one of the worst launches ever? I have had one other game in memory I could not play for the first week, that was D3. This game I could not play for the first 3 days or so, then had some luck getting in here and there after that. Not as bad as D3, but bad nonetheless. Thankfully it is an easy fix once they actually do it.

[QUOTE="Geminon"][QUOTE="FelipeInside"] Let's hope that maintenance fixed most of the issues or else it's gonna go down like one of the worst launches, if it isn't already. I feel bad for u guys that want to play it.vfibsux

For the past couple of days I have been able to log in at all times without any problem.

Before that I would spam the '0' key and it would take a couple of minutes at most.

They locked out new characters because the servers were getting overloaded and now it is easy to log in because of it.

They said in a few days they will be getting more server space.

They have even given out a alot of free time because of it.

Enitrely remake a failed game from the bottom up (except art assests obviously) into a game people would love. well only time will tell but so far my expecatations were met, and the possibiltiies of where this can go are stellar.

Never in recetn years have I been challenged by leveling dungeon content (well some of them at least) .... and the 8 mans that are currently in are awesome. soon 2 24 mans and more 8 mans....

Housing, chocobo breeding, gold saucer (FF7 giant theme park/casino/amusement area of the game with minigames) confirmed Chocbo racing, and likely built in card game.... are just all little things that make the experiance that much better.

Apperently Odin at 10% starts charging Zantendesukin (sp?) if hes not killed in the following 10 seconds he instantly slices EVERYONE in 2 instantly killing everyone who is in combat with him. and he wanders around zones! and makes his own weather effect "Hopelessness".

ITs the ultimate fan service for any final fantasy fan, and its a damn good theme park mmo. more so than the crock that has come in recent years.

[QUOTE="vfibsux"]

[QUOTE="Geminon"] it is far from the worst launch ever.... dont be so dramatic. if you can get in the game, it works fine. zero lag, very few bugs.... its just the logging in part that sucks. and that isnt a bug, it is a limitation on the number of people that can be on the server. there have been MANY MANY MANY MMO launches where the game has legitimately been broken. this is not the case.MBirdy88

Reading your posts really make me want to play the game.

Seems like it is a pretty good final fantasy game AND a good themepark mmo (I actually dont mind themeparks, as long as they are well done, despite my inner cravings for a good sandbox).

Yes it is a good game ONCE YOU CAN PLAY IT, I never said it wasn't. Why do you think I am butthurt about the login situation? If I did not like the game I would not care.

You guys ever think that some servers are busier than others?? Crazy concept...I know.

On MY server you are lucky to be able to play. I am not making this shit up, neither are the thousands of others having this same problem. Why would I make this shit up? It's not like I own some rival MMO or something. I have been on GW2 all day instead of FFXIV because I got sick of trying to log in my server, and I am not rerolling.

The 1017 error is not near as annoying as being pissed on and fanboys telling you it is raining.

I finially got in on  a jp server, just wanted to check it out. I only played for about 30 min but game runs 1000000% better and the interface works alot better. Seems like it could be a really cool game very much improved, not going to play much till I can get into a NA server.

^^ well the good side to this is that looks like its a popular game with so many people trying to play. I've heard people are at max level already though. Why so quick? Leveling is what I find fun.FelipeInside

difference here is, i got other classes to level to make my main class even better. and the gathering/crafting classes are actually pretty tough going compared to modern mmos which just throw you up the levels.

I always liked that concept, instead of having to reroll everytime you want a new class you can just class change on the char you want, leads to more attachment that way.

A large part of what made FFT and FFV so fun was the idea of trying to master as many classes as possible and then create your ideal build for each character.

Now THAT is how you do a final story fight. Onto the optional ones now, optional spoilers below: (will only make sense to FFfans) [spoiler] The Demon's Gate is in game as a boss, awesome little fight. pushes you closer to the other wall into a poison pit and can knock you off edges, so a heavy movement and dps check fight. [/spoiler]

I have every confidence in their ability to make GREAT dungeons and bosses... already seen it.

*UPDATE*

All worlds maitenance happening tomorrow at 5pm PST. 

Not getting my hopes up, but definitely looking forward to this doing SOMETHING for the horrible server issues. Been trying for the last 3 hours and nothing yet. going back to spamming my macro.
