Re: Things I'm waiting for:

mmorpgs are never finished!

Good point..

How about including basic things that should have been at launch?

If you could find a way to bottle your enthusiasm, you could be at least a thousandaire, J9.

Re: Things I'm waiting for:

So pretty much a finished game?

[jenova_9]

Re: Things I'm waiting for:

well big things that will help FFXIV are:

1. much more DoW and DoM classes
2. much more story missions and get to the deeper Garlean stuff.
3. chocobos, airships
4.opening access to Ishgard and the other cities (Ala Mihgo might be a ruins type super dungeon, which would be interesting to visit.)
5. more Notorious Monsters and group based content/events.
6. Updates that increase SP, XP and rewards for parties.
7. Updates that improve crafting success rates and easier.
8. easy to understand tutorials accessible from menu.
9. battlefield Raids involving Garlean invasions, and magitek armor (some missions, parties start on Magitek armors, but when Magitek armor HP drops to zero, they have 20 seconds to dismount before it blows up. They continue the fight on foot.)
10. boat war battle events in sea and airship battle events in sky.
11. and more stuff, mew!

Re: Things I'm waiting for:

The following is a list of things I'm still waiting for. I'm not impatient... I just want them EVENTUALLY.

- Chocobos
- Airships
- Class specific gear (outside of weapons)
- Bucaneer (there's already a guild hall in Limsa for God's sake... just give it to us already)
- Goblins (as I have seen, they're coming soon. w00t)
- Magically enchanted Armor (not just Hermes' Boots... I want the whole selection)
- More dance choices
- NMs (also coming soon. See: Lodestone)
- Summons
- Working Battle Regimens
- Race specific gear (besides underwear)
- Madragoras
- A Mog House....
- A formal Auction House (Not Yellow Gremlin Network)
- Titles
- Server changing capability
- Pouches/backpacks (There's an equipment slot.... why nothing to put in it?)
- GET RID OF THE LIMITATION ON ACCESSORIES... OR AT LEAST OFFER US A WAY TO EARN THE RIGHT TO WEAR MORE
- Increased Bazaar space
- More Macro icon choices
- More Unique/Untradable... see: Rare/Ex gear
- Dual Wielding
- Better Spell/Skill animations
- Batman stabbing a shark with a lightsaber
- The ability to abandon a local crafting levequest when you realize that it would take you too long to walk all the way to the camp you need to go to to cash in on the reward for the levequest you finished 8 days ago but havent had the time/anima to make it all the way out there just to turn it in OMGWTFTAKINGUPSPACE.
- Balance to Single Target/AOE Spells. Reduce the damage on AoE and Increase the Damage on Single Target PLZ. Or at least Increase the MP cost to cast an AoE. I know I'm going to get a lot of hate from this one... but lets be honest... it's balanced that way. We don't need people pulling Korakola Tunnel XP parties in this game without needing a SMN. (Think 6 Conj parties killing hordes of MOBS while they run through dungeons)
- A Central City (Jeuno/WG)
- Less NPC Linkpearls
- More Spells
- Friends on Selbina





/endrant

I think most of that was supposed to be included at launch. But seeing as SE rushed the release, things had to get left out. I am pretty sure there would have been more classes, and races too.

Re: Things I'm waiting for:

They're called Gladiators ... so stop trolling.

As for your comments about crafting being treated as classes, it makes sense. You may not like it, but everyone else seems to think it's logical in the current system of equipping an item to switch off the disciplines.

Not only that, but it gives us something besides an excuse for SE to add another melee class. You'll note SE kind of got out of that habit around ToA/WotG and implemented what are honestly hybrid kinds of jobs (though I do so hate that word).

COR, a support class that can melee.
BLU, a melee class that can enfeeble, nuke and heal.
SCH, a mage that can switch specializations.
DNC, a melee that can function competently as a healer and enfeebler.
PUP, a job we invite to fill a slot in Abyssea if no melees are seeking.

Re: Things I'm waiting for:

It's flooded with crafting jobs that shouldn't even be treated as "classes".
It's only caused the story missions to have less battles and being too easy and boring and made a Final Fantasy more craft based than it should be! What is this? Craft Fantasy XIV?

I hate to say this, but I totally agree with J9 here. Because crafting is a class now, missions are stupidly easy and there's literally no challenge to them what-so-ever. The R46 mission is a cake walk compared to XI's M2-3 dragon fight. -_-

Re: Things I'm waiting for:

There isn't even a class that specializes in DAGGERS

Re: Things I'm waiting for:

I'm waiting for...


...the game to be actually fun to play once I finally join (aprox. Feb. 2012.)

Re: Things I'm waiting for:

HYPER MEW MODE!!!!!

Assassin = Ninja and I rather them NOT put Ninja into the game. If they learned their lesson, they will seek to avoid that headache and try to maintain the current balance (which is actually pretty good atm) between the classes.

FFXI does not = FFXIV, mew!

Ninja/Assassin would be handled very differently.

For one thing, Assassin uses Dark Arts, which is a magic based style. That doesn't mean it will be shadow blink tank all over again. Assassins wouldn't dual wield either. So why would you think Ninja = automatic unbalanced?


FFXIV is suffering from lacking enough War and Magic classes. There isn't even a class that specializes in DAGGERS or 2-Handed Swords!

Re: Things I'm waiting for:

This class will also not suffer fatigue. Batman doesn't fatigue.

To J9: Batman is also a Ninja/Assassin.... so there ya go... Christmas came early... now shut up about Assassins and do something useful... like dance a lively jig.

Re: Things I'm waiting for:

You're going to need the wiimote for that lightsaber after all. The PS Move is crap and the Kinect is too slow.

Too true, lol

[Yygdrasil]

Re: Things I'm waiting for:

Will do... That'll make me start playing FFxiv for sure. Ya think that's a PS3 launch add-in?

No, I think they'd include it with the Wii patch. You're going to need the wiimote for that lightsaber after all. The PS Move is crap and the Kinect is too slow.

Re: Things I'm waiting for:

When squeenix adds that as a class.... remember who did you right, k?
