I'm hoping the Final fantasy phenomenon will finally die. It was nice up until FF 9 but then it started going downhill while it's popularity increased

Absolutely.

I'm a long time fan of FF11 and I'm really annoyed at how bad this game is. Once the 30 day trial runs out, I'm cancelling my account. I'll check back in a year or so to see if it's improved.

yer a lot of squaresoft/final fantasy die hards are still in denial, but a lot of them are also snapping out of it and realising the mess that it is, final fantasy games use to be my favourite games by far, and a lot of them are in my top 10 games of all time, But when something is total rubbish there is no point being in denial about it, square enix are in no way the developers they use to be.

The four score that Gamespot gave it is even worse than the score I gave FF13, now that was surprising to see.

Im not really that stunned because I didnt have high hopes for it because Im not a fan of MMOs. But I wasnt expecting it to get such a bad score either.

you would think they could have built upon final fantasy 11 about what it did right and what it did wrong, and shape final fantasy 14 into something really great, but they thew it all out the window, and made a festival of ****

I don't think it is a 4.0 score, but it does need a lot of aimprovements. The potential is there, too bad you can't play potential though.

I thought that the most popular FFs were in the PS1 Era (FF7). Personally I thought the best was FFX.

Some of the best recent FF games have been the non-RPG games, like Crisis Core and Dissidia. The new RPGs seem uninspired and uninteresting. The glory days of FF7 and 8 are gone. I really think that SE should get out of the MMO market, too, because clearly they don't know what they're doing.

Well, at least this shows that Gamespot isn't afraid to give a popular franchise a bad score.

MGS a movie you say? Well that's an original comment on the franchise. Never heard that before. A brilliant way to dismiss a game with a simple invalid statement.

Is that why FF14 is also considered in development for the PS3?

I thought that the most popular FFs were in the PS1 Era (FF7). Personally I thought the best was FFX.

The most popular were from the PS1 (VII, VIII for whatever reason, IX), but the best were from the SNES (IV, V VI which is still the best in the series)

Final Fantasy 6 is the best imo, with that said I thought that Final Fantasy 4 and 5 were not as good as the PS1 final fantasy games.

With that said the series has really gone downhill from X and onwards imo.

Some people think that X is a great game, so good for them, but a lot less people think that X-2, 11, 12 and 13 were up to par with previous installments and yet they all sold millions

Absolutely.

I'm a long time fan of FF11 and I'm really annoyed at how bad this game is. Once the 30 day trial runs out, I'm cancelling my account. I'll check back in a year or so to see if it's improved.

yeah i feel your pain. I loved FF11 and was really excited for 14... theres a lot of problems at the moment, so im going to give it time and see if it improves. no auction house seriously ?!?! rage :evil:

one would think that after successfully entering the MMO genra with FF11, they would of learned over the years and improve their next installment... like someone else said there is potential, but you really cant play potential can you lol

Totalgym9000

so PC gamers are paying for the beta so it can be ready in time for the ps3 release?

Basically. The first few months of almost every MMO ever released deal with server instability, minor/major bugs, gameplay imbalances, and a dearth of content. Was XIV the first MMO you've jumped into at launch? I know it can be shocking to people who are used to starting an MMO/s after they've matured a bit to see what a launch looks like, but there's not much surprising here.

Leaving FFXI as still being the second most successful paid MMO, as far as I'm aware. What are they thinking making a game in a genre that they've been massively successful in in the past?

Exactly. I'd rather have FF14's launch problems (Bulky interface, no auction house, OH NOES!) than WoW's launch problems (can't even play the game without waiting in a queue for a few hours just to log in, then pray youdon't get disco'ed, or you'll have to wait a few more hours to log in again).

The only reason ites like GS are giving the game 4's is because SE asked everyone to wait to review the game.

Its true, but in terms of overall MMOs, some asian ones have 15 or 20 million players, their just often free. 100k or more subscribers is usually successful, FFXI had about 500k. Not every MMO is WoW successful :P

-Snooze-
Just isn't finished. It's a pain to do simple stuff like talk to friends, linkshell, etc. basically any form of communication and no auction house really, really sucks. Pretty bad lag in the menus but unlike most I don't mind the UI. My main beef is the first two I mentioned, communication and no auction house.
