Cash shop announced?Follow

Yoshida was quite transparent about Copying WoW though. Even copied some features poorly. Hell, in the year he had the dev team play WoW it shows in most areas of ARR lol.

Most of the Primal songs outside of Ifrit are basically rock songs - If you dislike rock, you'll dislike it. Most of XI's music is more..RPG type music.

I'm trying to make light of a bad situation.

I already stated this in another thread, I'm one of those guys who goes around collecting everything and that's what makes these kinds of games fun for me, collecting the "shinies", and now some of those shinies are $25 a pop even though I'm already paying a monthly subscription fee.

You can say anything you want about me and make a joke out of me and today, they still added a cash shop to Final Fantasy XIV with $25 cash shop-exclusive mounts...

Thank you. All I can do is not buy it, but a lot of people are. Which means more of it coming.

On the official forum, the community is already being nasty about it on both sides, with one poster posting "Sorry that you can't afford it and thus are angry " poking fun at people like me, and other posters insisting that we shun & refuse to play with anyone who buys the $25 mounts, which is ridiculous too.

Same here when it comes too Windurst, but that was the city I chose to be from in the game..... I also liked Sandoria because the music fits the city..
My favorite music was the music in Jeuno at Christmas "Starlight Celebration"

Or the music when you first enter dynamis.

I liked the music in FFXI because most of it was really different from zone to zone.. The music in FFXIV is more epic and more orchestrated but allot of it just runs together, I just cant ell the difference from song to song...
I like some of the FFXIV music allot but if you were to play most of it I could not tell you where it is from, as soon as I hear a song from FFXI I know exactly... Each song is just so different from each other.

FTFY

Odin has been in the game since August 2013. The only reason people knew of the Odin trial was because of Dat mining, since it was a fan fest exclusive event.

As I said before: If they had any intention on us getting Sleipnir, he would have been in Odin's Drop pool for the FATE or added to the Loot List of Odin Mantles by now.

I'm not the one endlessly whining about a game in that game's forums, am I? No, I'm not. I'm not the one preaching another game in a game's forum, am I?

No, I'm not.

And I love your Word Salad Post, btw.

lol.

I'm not even sure what to make out of the last couple lines. XI's music is good, XIV's music is good too. Some of the tracks have shorter loops than they should, true. However, some of those loops sound awesome when they do play, such as the ones I mentioned above.

Lass5 whines about XIV constantly. Nearly every single aspect of XIV. Music, Development, just about every part of XIV this person complains about. He complains so much about it, that it seems like he actually hates everything about this game.

My question is......if he hates everything having to do with FF14, then why is he playing it and/or why is he even posting here, then?

It isn't because "I disagree with him", it is because all I see is whine whine whine whine coming from his keyboard.



You could....

1). Continue to play XIV and pay your monthly sub and keep whining even though you appear to hate the experience wholly

or

2). Pony up the $24 and play XI which you apparently love the look/sound of

You're saying $24 is too much for an "upgrade" in your personal gaming experience?

Speaking of FFXI's inferiority, the fact each zone has a single track that plays the whole time you're in that zone is what makes XI's music incredibly repetitive. ARR's music is more condensed and limited so even if you're in one zone you'll only hear a track if you go to a certain part of said zone. Vanilla XI was the most brutal - so few zones, so many repeated tracks. XIV's "problem" is that it's vanilla, there's so few zones. Once the game grows in size, though, it will completely annihilate XI like it does with everything else.

That said, XIV can't beat the nostalgy of standing in Ru'Lude for hours waiting for a party invite as one of the 'bad' jobs. Job balance is so overrated. Oh, also can't beat having four roles making the party system so rigid you can't do crap without select few jobs you need for everything. Lacking one of the four roles are you? Tough luck.

Somehow I thought there would've been more, but you're right... I guess that's the rose-colored glasses speaking.

So you're either hearing wind blowing or the same few tracks over and over again. Nothing to be ashamed about in 2002 but with people acting like this is competitive in 2014...

Edited, Oct 28th 2014 8:39pm by Hyanmen

Oi... so wait, he was talking about the $24 for the In-Store Mount? I thought he was referring to the price it'd take to buy FFXI and install it. If the former, that doesn't even make sense.



What really gets me is why they didn't spruce some of these areas up with some more music. Surely it couldn't be that hard to record a few tracks, and attach em to the zones. You could probably use one for Meriphtaud and Tahrongi both; you could use the same one for Kuftal/Gustav/Korroloka Tunnels, you could make one that goes to the Maze and Onzozo as they are similar places.

Anything would be better than the non-stop rushing wind sound, IMO.

Yeah, in 2002 this was acceptable, but 12 years later and they haven't recorded a few tracks for older areas, I find that kinda "eeeh...."

Now, I'm not XI bashing here, just wishing they'd spruce some of the older areas of the game up some.
