I think they have ironed out alot so far and were still 2 months out. Yoshi has said if something is horrible they will delay the release. To say it need another 6 months is kinda silly 6 months of what? they think they have it right this time but only way to see is to test. you want 6 more months of beta testing? I think its way better than you seem to think but only tomorrow will tell i guess.

Yeah I can't find myself agreeing with Kachi. We're good for the schedule we have, baring actual glitches or bugs that break the game.

Arguing about the mechanics themselves is an eternal debate. There will be those who will argue against the basic mechanics of the game several months down the line, several years even. Every. MMO. Without. Exception. is that way. You will always have your discontent camp.

What are you basing your opinion off of? Like, which phase, or gameplay at E3, or what? I don't necessarily disagree, but I'm just waiting until tomorrow's test to judge.

As for the video, it does seem like Cloud's sword is Dragoon specific. Really, really stupid.

It looks cool, but it's freakin' stupid. I'm sure they'll eventually add a Great Sword class... they couldn't just save it for that?

I love spears, so it's a little odd that you're playing the spear class and they don't give it an even remotely relevant Limit Break.

Aside from it making no sense on Dragoon, if they wanted this game to be an orgy of cheesy fan service, they should not have named it XIV. I think since it's a numbered title, it should try to do its own thing. It's not Dissidia.

I like Cloud and VII, but I'm trying to immerse myself in this world and suddenly I pull out a freakin' Cloud's Buster Sword on my lance character? Dumb. Sorry.

if you are keeping your character and level from 1.0, is limit break the only thing you can do other than level other classes?

Party limit breaks during battle.

There. Now you can't say you don't know of anything original in ARR.

Who cares what they are called? If they called them "Mana Strikes" would they then be new using your logic?

Also, who cares if they are using tons of things/throw-backs people have enjoyed over the years? Just because you are paying homage to FF tradition, doesn't mean it's not new.

I'm sure it will be "fine." More development time would only make it better.

The bottom line is that the gameplay would benefit from quite a bit of work. There's a lot of complaint that it's boring, and that's one of the last things you want to hear about a game. I'm not saying that it will fail or suck if it's released as-is. I think that in six months to a year they could refine the gameplay into something that's better than mediocre/poorish. Obviously that won't happen at this point, but the impatience of the playerbase only hurts any MMO. They'd rather have an okay game now than a great one later, and don't see how much more fun they'd have if they just waited for a product that isn't pushed out before it's really ready. Their own worst enemy, really.

You guys are letting the hype get the better of your judgement. You're looking at a couple of months of good personal experiences and apparently forgetting that this game has to entertain for years. Oldest story in the book. Other players will pick up this game and put it down between day 1 and month 3 if the mechanics aren't solid. There is a lot of good stuff here, but there are also a lot of important gameplay things that are going to be rush fixes before the launch that won't even get through the testing cycle, and that's incredibly dangerous. For any game. Period.

I have no doubt that this is the game that SE meant to put out two years ago. What I doubt is that that game wouldn't be going F2P by now.
